“Solidarity with our comrade facing trial!

McDonald’s continues to profit from rampant environmental destruction and the slaughter of millions.

We must take action whenever and wherever we can to challenge and disrupt, to keep fighting until their exploitation of animals and nature is nothing but a dark echo in the past.

“Over the course of two weeks Swedish activists worked together to destroy as much hunting equipment as possible. The result was 116 hunting towers, as well as some traps and feeding stations. Many of the towers are tagged with ‘HSS’ which stands for ‘Hunt Saboteurs Sweden’.

Hunters will never be safe, as long as they are killing animals we will fight back.

Report received anonymously via encrypted email:

“When we received the call to action to smash McDonald’s windows we decided to take action. A comrade is facing trial for a McDonald’s disruption. We cannot be show-watchers of the animal liberation movement any longer. 

We targeted a 24 hours McDonald’s in Tonbridge, Kent, to show we are not fearful and that no deterrent will stop us now that we’ve started. Four windows were hammered to bits before workers realised what was happening. By the time they came to check, we had already left.

We want to call out everybody that shared the call to action but didn’t take part. Our activism isn’t about likes and social media. We should take a stand. We have been there ourselves and this has helped us understand things differently. Now it is your turn.

We are calling for a week of action starting today and culminating Wednesday night, the night before the trial. Smash as many windows as possible and cost McDonald’s as much money as you can. On Wednesday, we want all the smashed (and replaced) windows to be targeted once again. Show your solidarity, not just your words.

In solidarity with our comrade and with everybody else facing police brutality and the weight of the system. We are unbreakable because we will not give up.

16th July, Orange County, CA.

Report received anonymously via email:

“A cowbird trap was discovered during a late night stroll through the San Joaquin Wetlands in Orange County, CA. Under the light of the moon, wire cutters were used to cut the top off the trap – releasing 6 brown-headed cowbirds into the wild. Government agencies and so-called conservation groups have labeled the brown-headed cowbird as “invasive” and using them as a scapegoat for struggling song-bird populations. Each year hundreds of these traps – usually latter traps containing between 4 to 6 live cowbirds as “decoys” – are set up in parks and wildlife areas throughout Southern California between April and mid-July, where thousands of cowbirds are captured and “euthanized.” These traps are usually unguarded and in many cases held together with nothing more than plastic zip-ties, making them laughably simple to sabotage.

In memory of anarchist Will Van Spronsen who died fighting for real freedom for all and a life worth living.”

11th July, South East UK.

Report received anonymously via email:

“We hit a game farm in the South East UK breeding pheasants for the shooting industry. We’ve heard that 9000 birds managed to escape. It was quite an easy job, we simply cut through the netting with scissors and knives and rolled it to avoid birds getting tangled up in it. Then we entered the pens and made them fly off. The sheds were left open and all the heat lamps were disconnected and smashed. The electric fence was also disconnected and then cut so the birds wouldn’t struggle with it.

Fuck the shooting industry.”
