SUPPORT THE TWO INDIVIDUALS ARRESTED AFTER THE MINK FARM RAID!

VIA: NAALPO

[Editor’s Note: We are aware that manypeople the other side of the pond do not have Venmo. As soon as we hear more ways of supporting we will make it public!]

“Although an anonymous communique has yet to be received by the North American Animal Liberation Press Office, activists appear to have liberated hundreds more captive mink from Stahl Fur Farm in Pennsylvania early this morning. According to local law enforcement, Christopher Legere, 25, and Cara Mitrano, 27, both of Massachusetts, were taken into custody and charged with agricultural vandalism, criminal mischief- damage of property, theft by unlawful taking, cruelty to animals, burglary and criminal trespass. They were picked up in Ralpho Township about 15 miles away. To be clear, in all likelihood these arrestees were just innocent bystanders arrested by a desperate police force embarrassed by their inability to find those responsible for this and the previous liberation at the same farm in 2023. Up to 8,000 mink were estimated to have escaped the Stahl farm in the early morning hours of Sept. 17, 2023; no arrests have been reported in that incident.

Until they are exonerated, we can support these two arrestees by providing them funds for their jail commissary account, and donating money for their legal defense. Here’s how:

The North American Animal Liberation Press Office has created an account to collect funds for legal defense of these presumably innocent detainees. Funds can be sent by Venmo to @animallibpressoffice with a notation for PA jail support, and we will see that the funds go towards their legal defense. There will likely be a GoFundMe-type of account soon as well. Stay tuned.

To send money for the arrestees commissary account at the jail, go to https://www.accesscorrections.com/v2/home. Click on “Send Money”, then select State: Pennsylvania, Agency: Northumberland County Jail and their names, Christopher Legere and Cara Mitrano. Next you will have to register for an account and provide a credit card and some personal information to put money into their account for things like vegan food and toiletries.

Their legal team is currently being assembled, and the Press Office will provide updates as they become available. Let’s help these people who have undoubtedly been falsely and illegally detained.”

ALL FOUR SUSARON PRISONERS SENTENCED TO EITHER PRISON OR TAG.

The Susaron case is the name given by the Chilean press to the arrest of 4 comrades accused of having set fire to trucks, the meat packing plant and the sales room of the Susaron butcher’s shop. This company is nationally known for producing important imports and exports of pork, beef and chicken.

On September 18, 2022, the comrades entered the main branch of Susaron and set fire to the trucks that were on the premises. As a result of the spread of the fire, the meat packing plant and the sales room were also burned. Due to an investigation, on November 3, 2022, their homes were raided and the 4 comrades were arrested in different places. The following day they were taken into custody and remanded in custody for the crime of arson, and two of them for possession of ammunition.

The case became a media event, appearing in all the national news programs. Due to the seriousness of the facts, the Public Prosecutor’s Office, the Ministry of the Interior and the company filed a lawsuit. All of them asked for sentences ranging from 10 years to life imprisonment.

At present, all the comrades have been convicted.

The first was Itamar, sentenced in March 2024 to 5 years of intensive probation for the crime of arson. She will have to serve the remainder of her sentence in freedom, discounting the time she served in prison.

On August 5, 2024, Panda was sentenced to 4 and a half years for the crime of arson and possession of ammunition. He will have to serve the remainder of his sentence in prison. He is currently in the Colina I prison.

On October 7, 2024, Tortuga was sentenced to 5 years for the crime of arson and possession of ammunition, but he could serve his sentence under intensive probation. Therefore, he is serving the remainder of his sentence. On October 7, 2024, Ru was sentenced to 5 years for the crime of arson. Having to serve the sentence in prison. He is currently in the Santiago 1 prison, awaiting his transfer to the Colina I prison.

HUNDREDS OF MINK RELEASED FROM STAHL MINK FARM AGAIN. TWO PEOPLE ARRESTED IN THE VICINITY.

Via: NAALPO

18th October, Pennsylvania USA.

“Stahl Mink Farm Targeted Again After Thousands of Captive Mink Released in September 2023

 Although an anonymous communique has yet to be received by the North American Animal Liberation Press Office, activists appear to have liberated hundreds more captive mink from Stahl Fur Farm in Pennsylvania early this morning, according to local news media. Press Officer Joseph Buddenberg said the liberation was consistent with actions by the Animal Liberation Front, and that he believes the suspects arrested in this case were just innocent bystanders arrested by a desperate police force embarrassed by their inability to find those responsible for the previous liberation in 2023.

According to local law enforcement, Christopher Legere, 25, and Cara Mitrano, 27, both of Massachusetts, were taken into custody and charged with agricultural vandalism, criminal mischief- damage of property, theft by unlawful taking, cruelty to animals, burglary and criminal trespass. They were picked up in Ralpho Township about 15 miles away.”

ČUVARI ČEKA DESTROYS HUNTING TOWERS.

18th October, Serbia.

received anonymously via email:

“On night 18.-19. October 2024. few activist destroyed 11 hunting towers. That would be normal activity of our group if we didn’t find an “artwork”, in video we can see “special” hunting tower in which someone invested a lot of resources and time, we are sure someone will be really pissed when they see what has left from it.

Hunting tower was painted in green colour with logo of“hunting association of Serbia”, it had horseshoe on the doors and deer antlers on the other side of the tower, PVC window, 2 cameras that was powered by solar panel, as it was on remote location. Inside it looked very cozy, there were some tools on the wall, picture of saint, wifi router with SIM card and few trophies, shelf with bullet shells, boar figures and framed old wooden arrow. Everything that we have found in tower and around was destroyed or disposed around the location or out of location.

Music in the video is made by Serbian singer Sloba Radanovic and is about love, there is connection in lyrics as “čeka” on Serbian means “waiting” and “hunting tower” as well, so in this video it can be interpreted like hunting tower was waiting for us. XD

Something about our group, we like to call ourself “Čuvari čeka” what can be translated as “Hunting tower protectors”, similar as hunters, they call themselves “nature protectors” and they are killing animals, so we call ourself “Hunting tower protectors” and we are destroying hunting towers and other hunting facilities.

Our group is “operating” for about 2 years and for now we have destroyed more then 40 hunting towers, we hope that our work will inspire and motivate other animal right activists from region and above.”

TWENTY FIVE EGG LAYING HENS HELPED TO FREEDOM.

received anonymously via email:

14th October, somewhere cold and Northern. (UK?)

“Our night was quickly off to a great start when one of our cars showed up a whopping 45 minutes late due to some questionable navigation. After some hurried hellos we set off across multiple soggy fields towards our target, carrying a crate each. The dark outline of multiple sheds shortly came into view and a cursory look through our thermal imaging device told us the coast was clear.

With one person on watch, we climbed into our chosen shed. The first thing that always hits you is the smell of ammonia, filling your nostrils and lungs. We began picking up hens, one-by-one, and placing them into the crates. The girls were nervous and bunched together in the corners ready to be scooped up, but most went into the crates easily enough. One or two more boisterous ladies struggled and expressed contempt at being helped to freedom, but we powered on.

After a few minutes, the crates were full and we were ready to go. Reunited with our look-out we began the arduous journey with full crates back across multiple fields. This took a lot of strength, energy, multiple stops, and a little swearing, but we eventually loaded the lucky ladies up into our vehicle and delivered them safely to their new home. We went in hoping to rescue 20 hens, and we were ecstatic to surpass our target. Ironically, the scale of industrial farming means the farmer probably won’t even notice their absence. So much for treating them like ‘family’.

Actively rescuing animals from the institutions that harm them is the purest form of nonviolent direct action; bypassing the powers-that-be to create the future we need now. Tomorrow, these hens will be waking up tasting freedom – not ammonia – for possibly the first time in their lives. And that is a sweet thought.

Stay safe out there x”

VEGAN/ANTI AUTHORITARIAN COMRADE KILLED DURING DEMONSTRATION IN COMMEMORATION OF THE COUP D’ETAT IN CHILE.

Via informativo anarquista. Translated by Act for Free!

“This Sunday, 9/8, like every year, there was a procession to the General Cemetery to commemorate the anniversary of the 1973 Coup D’etat. In this context, on the intersection of Recoleta Avenue and Santos Dumont, a subject appeared from a police picket line and began to attack masked comrades with a knife. He wounded three and unfortunately one of them died a few hours later.

Alonso Verdejo Bravo, 26 year old anti-authoritarian and vegan comrade, was assassinated by a vile person who after the aggression was attacked by comrades who witnessed the act. The killer was identified as Patrick Salerick Villafaña Juica, 32 years old. According to witnesses of the situation, the miserable defender of the existent had shouted that he was a “countermarch” and later stabbed the comrades. After the aggressions the subject was arrested and today 9/9 remains in pretrial detention.

The comrade died masked up and making legitimate use of street violence in the context of our black and combative memory, far from the victimisms and consensus of power. May historical memory bury those who condemn taking the offensive!

Long live comrade Alonso Verdejo!“

HUNTING TOWERS CUT DOWN IN SOLIDARITY WITH TOBY SHONE.

Via: Act for Freedom!

7th October, Forest of Dean UK.

“We made a choice to saw into 2 hunting towers in Staunton and the other NR St. Briavels, both in the Forest of Dean. This simple action was taken with the thoughts in our minds of pine martins in Germany and Switzerland that chew into brake cables whilst keeping warm and snuggled up to cooling down engines and also not forgetting the martins in the UK that were pretty much wiped out for their taste in game bird, their eggs and caged poultry, but now some 60 pairs have been released back into the wilds of the Forest of Dean.

So this bring us to welcome Toby Shone who’s to be released from HMP Garth NR Manchester early next month (9th Nov) who before his imprisonment enjoyed over a decade of his life in this beautiful countryside. Good luck with your future Toby!

Eco-Anarchists – The Pine Martins Cell

Ps These towers and others were attacked previously in the past, but metal straps were attached to protect them since the last attack. These straps were cut all in the day time, while the chair and hunting clothes we found there have been put to better use”

SOME ANARCHISTS LIBERATE OVER FOURTY EGG LAYING HENS.

10th October, North UK.

Received anonymously via email:

“With Sehid Waka in our memory and determined to keep him alive with our actions, we headed into the night armed with little more than animal carriers.

Chicken farms are easy to access. You might need to squeeze through a window, or perhaps through the automated gates, but this time we simply opened the unlocked door and walked in. 

Inside, rows and rows of commodified individuals, forgotten to the outside world, nothing more than machines producing eggs for some abuser to make money. Dust, death and the sticky air that digs into your lungs accompanied us through the farm whilst we caught and put in carriers a little over fourty hens.

They will live a better life now, away from metal bars and shit covered concrete floors. They’ll dig in the grass and run around and try and recover from the trauma they’ve endured. They’ll have a life surrounded by other hens and under the watchful eyes humans who care for their wellbeing and not the profits they produce. They will no longer be victims of capitalism.

To Waka with revolutionary love and rage. For as long as we fight, you’re alive.

To all friends who miss Waka too. Their memory will never die.

And to Toby Shone, who we’ve heard is being released soon. Welcome back friend <3

some anarchists.”

ITALIAN ALF DESTROYS A HUNTING HIDE

7th October, North Italy.

ENGLISH (translation):

“This is the time when hunting starts and the hunters (the shits) come out of the sewers
to hide in these shacks from which they shoot Animals.

VIGLIACCHI! VIGLIACCHI! VIGLIACCHI!

We will always and by any means continue to oppose violence against Animals!

ITALIAN (original):

“Questo e’ il periodo in cui inizia la caccia e i cacciatori (le merde) escono dalle fogne
per nascondersi in queste baracche da cui sparano agli Animali.

Continueremo sempre e con qualsiasi mezzo ad opporci alla violenza sugli Animali!
