29th April, Brighton UK.

“Responding to the call to action to take out our rage on speciesist businesses’ windows.

Enough of buying a plant based sausage roll and patting ourselves on the back. Let’s not hand our money and power over to evil corp and fool ourselves believing it’s a win. We want to see the economic sabotage of the blood industry, not support it. We want to see THEM pay. Remember whose side we are on. We stand with the animals whose bodies are being sold. Big and small, local and international, let’s smash the FUCK out of these exploiters. They profit from murder.

Hammer to glass or knife to throat, remember who has lost the most.

In the early hours of the morning, with the owners watching tv above, we glued the locks, left a message and smashed the fuck out of Rogman Butcher’s windows.

We are glad that many feel “This gives a bad name to veganism” because until veganism becomes active and antispeciesist, its name stinks of rotting capitalism.

We hope the butcher claims the loss to the insurance company and has it replaced free of cost, because that will bring the insurance cost up not just for them, but also for any butchers around the area. We hope that with enough windows smashed, all butchers go out of business unable to pay for more windows and insurance.

We hope this form of action catches fire and we see a relentless wave of window smashing through Brighton, through the UK and throughout the whole world.

We dedicate this action to the 13 rangers murdered in the Congo for protecting the wild.

Mask up from the virus, and the bigger killer, the cops.

ANIMAL LIBERATION FRONT INVESTIGATIONS UNIT EXPOSE RABBIT MEAT FARM (05/11/2008)

CONTENT WARNING: The footage featured in the video is disturbing.

In 2008 a group of people calling themselves the ALF Investigation Unit broke into a farm in Berkshire UK and filmed the conditions of the rabbits being exploited inside. They took several rabbits as well as caused several thousand pounds worth of damage. This is the report that was released with the video:

“On the eve of Barry Horne’s death, a group of volunteers accessed a rabbit ‘meat’ farm in Berkshire, U.K. This farm used to harbour hundreds of rabbits in the back of converted box lorries, but have recently upgraded their bunny butchering enterprise to four permanent and highly intensive units. Semi-built and set to be filled with hundreds of rabbits, we entered the site and bypassed top security measures.. the key was left in the door!

One unit was so full of rubble and electricity cables we almost didn’t expect to find any animals in such conditions. Further inspection found rows of cages, many with rabbits inside. All living on wire, many rabbits were blind, had ears missing and were rotting alive inside this windowless hell.

Even within a legal system that legitimises animal abuse, this sicko has still managed to torture animals beyond any legal requirements. The unit was in total disrepair, flooded with a mix of water and excrement, with open electricity wires and strewn with litter. None of the units had ventilation or air conditioning systems, despite being newly built. This farm was an excellent example of what ‘animal welfare’ means for animals: fuck all.

Needless to say we decided to make some legal corrections. After taking several rabbits to safety, who are now recovering in loving homes, we turned our attention to stopping this ‘man’ filling any more cages with defenceless animals. We cut every empty cage into pieces. Fuse boxes and machinery were glued and filled with expanding foam. Messages were left on the outer walls and doors before we vanished back into the darkness with our newly acquired friends.

This action was carried out in the memory of Barry, who continues to be an inspiration to us all despite his death at the hands of the British government.

TWO RABBITS “SHOPLIFTED” FROM PET STORE.

March, South East UK

Received anonymously via email:

“I’ve delayed the report to keep the rabbits safe.

Seeing that lockdown was going to happen soon and really worried about what pet shops would do with all the live animals they sell I went to a well known store in South East UK to make friends with a couple of rabbits.

Shoplifting is easy, and shoplifting from the pet store feels like a duty, but I had to think twice before taking animals out. I used some social skills and lots of chatter, talked to one of the employees and asked them to put them in the carrier as I wanted two of them. We talked for about five minutes. That was enough screening for the shop to “sell” me two sentient beings.

With the rabbits in the carrier, the employee told me they were going to pick up a couple of leaflets I should read. I grabbed some treats and walked to the till. Lefthanding the carrier, I paid 3.99 for the treats and walked out as if nothing had happened. They will never be traded, because their life is priceless.

Shoplifting is easy. You should try it. Be it a sneaky vegan chocolate bar, your new phone or whatever tickles your fancy. Save yourself from the queues and the till, and maybe help our friends.

They now have all the space they want to run around, and climb, and explore, and be themselves, and they will live the pirate-fugitive life for the rest of their lives.

Fuck the pet trade and fuck pet breeders and fuck pet shops. Fuck the lot.”
