ENGLISH TRANSLATION FROM THE ORIGINAL SPANISH REPORT:
“February 2019 Animal Liberation Front independent cell.
Mexico.
Claim of responsibility for the sabotage action against a McDonald’s restaurant in Barrio de San Antonio, Puebla, during the night of the 3rd of February 2022.
MEAT IS MURDER!
We claim responsibility for this action. We oppose ourselves politically and morally against a system of intensive production that for long enough has exploited animal bodies, human and non-human, and that has oversaturated us with the death it produces, covering the stench with artificial aromas and bright colours, making us unable to choose or imagine an alternative that doesn’t involve exploitation and death. We oppose them with direct action because it directly confronts the system, because it creates and strengthens complicity and because it brews political rage in more people, so they also start taking action.
This is not an isolated action. We add to the hundreds of actions taken every year around the world with the aim to harm and threaten businesses that build their economic empires on death and suffering. Those actions also aim to liberate non-human persons enslaved and systematically tortured.
Those individuals, violently born in this world with the only purpose of being a consumer product, or entertainment, or work, are never recognised for the key role they’ve played in the evolution of the human society. For that reason we believe this violence against animals cannot be analysed or combated without understanding it as systemic violence.
The animal question is a social problem, deeply rooted to colonialism and capitalism, specially in countries contaminated by neoliberalism like Mexico is.
Since its inception, McDonald’s has been part of every imperialist war that the USA has taken part of around the world. Its political, economic and cultural connections to the wars add to the pillage and exploitation of nature, humans and animals in all the territories oppressed by imperialism. It has also contributed to the destruction of culture in most countries around the world, imposing and influencing towards a lifestyle of aggressive consumption.
For all those reasons we believe it is completely legitimate to attack and sabotage McDonald’s as an act of resistance; human and non-human alike.”

Carta de reivindicación de la acción de boicot realizada contra la sede comercial de la empresa multinacional Mc Donald’s ubicada en el Barrio de San Antonio, Puebla la noche del 3 de febrero de 2022.
CARNE ES ASESINATO!
Reivindicamos este gesto, oponiéndonos política y moralmente a un sistema de producción intensiva que durante demasiado tiempo ha saqueado los cuerpos animales, humanos y naturales y nos ha atiborrado de la muerte que produce, cubriendo su hedor con sabores artificiales y colores brillantes, haciéndonos incapaces de elegir o imaginar una alternativa que no implique explotación y muerte. Lo hagamos con las acciones directas, que son acciones de confrontación contra el sistema, por fortalecer y crear complicidades, y por fomentar la rabia política en mas personas, para que se animen en actuar.
Este gesto no es ni será un gesto aislado, sino que se suma a otros cientos de acciones que se llevan a cabo cada año en todo el mundo con el objetivo de dañar y amenazar a las empresas que construyen sus imperios económicos sobre la muerte y el sufrimiento, y liberar a las personas no humanas esclavizadas y sistemáticamente torturadas. A estos individuos, traídos violentamente al mundo con el único fin de servir como productos de consumo, entretenimiento y trabajo, nunca se les reconoce el papel que han desempeñado y siguen desempeñando en la evolución de la sociedad humana. Por esto pensamos que la violencia contra los animales no puede ser analizada y combatida fuera de un análisis y consideración más amplia de un tipo de violencia que es sistemica.
La cuestión animal es un asunto social, conectado profundamente al colonialismo y al capitalismo, especialmente en los países violados por el neoliberalismo, como México.
La empresa trasnacional de Mc Donald’s desde su creación y expansión ha sido vinculada y participe en todas las guerras imperialistas que Estados Unidos ha realizado alrededor del mundo. Su participación economica, politica y cultural en estas guerra contribuye al saqueo y explotación de las vidas naturales, animales y humanas de los pueblos o territorios que son sometidos por el imperialismo. También han contribuido a la destrucción de la cultura en la mayoría de los países intentando imponer un modelo de vida y consumo agresivo a las personas y a la naturaleza. Por lo tanto creemos totalmente legítimo el atacar y sabotear a esta empresa como un acto de resistencia humana y animal.”
NATURAL FOODS STORE TARGETED, $600 OF MEAT SPOILED.
February, Minneapolis, USA.
received anonymously via email:
“We filled a cart with $600 of venison and bison meat at a natural foods grocery store in Minneapolis and left the cart in an aisle and exited the store. Once workers discover the cart, the meat will be spoiled and thrown away.
This was a very simple act of sabotage.
Replicate.”

WHAT THE FUCK IS UNOFFENSIVE ANIMAL (PART 5, HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED)
By now, you have learned quite a bit about us. We’ve explained our political background, what we do and don’t do and how people send anonymous reports. If you like the work we do there are many ways you can support Unoffensive and help us.
The first one is fairly self-evident. We created a platform so news could be spread over social media, so following, sharing and inviting others to check the content is a huge bit of help. We have had a very tumultuous relationship with the main social media channels and are permanently shadowbanned, so all interaction is positive and very much appreciated.
Secondly, as we have mentioned in previous articles, we work with submissions. People are not only welcome but also encouraged to submit both ideas and fully written articles to be published on our platforms. As long as they are not encouraging illegal activities or promoting any form of bigotry, we are always happy to publish them! We are also happy for folks to approach us with concepts for series or other forms of regular content that they would like to help with.
Lastly, supporting Unoffensive with donations is vital for us to keep going. Not only does it help us with prisoner support, arrest support and campaign support, but also it helps us upkeep website, server and domain costs. We would like to reach a point where we can support more journalistic work through Unoffensive, but unfortunately, donations to the collective have steadily declined in the past two years, and we now barely manage to do half of the money work we once did. We do not take donations for personal money, wages or anything of the like, as we all are volunteers (and more often than not end up putting money in ourselves!)
So if you think we do a good job and want to support our work, please consider donating. You have many different options, from Monero and bitcoin if you want to use cryptocurrencies to PayPal and Patreon.

Bitcoin and Monero wallets can be found on our website.
UNTIL WE WIN!

FEARLESS DIRECT ACTION TO STOP BRITISH COMPLICITY WITH ISRAELI WAR CRIMES; PAL ACTION.
Palestine action is a direct action network focused on ending UK complicity with Israeli war crimes. They believe there is already enough information and education available about the blatant oppression of the Palestinian people and now is the time for action not discussion.
They will target any and all companies in the UK who are directly part of enabling and profiting from Israel’s ongoing military occupation of Palestine. Their largest campaign and most well-known target is Elbit Systems. Elbit Systems is Israel’s largest privately owned arms company and it’s biggest single customer is the Israeli Ministry of Defence (IMOD). Elbit has nine sites across Britain, with four arms factories remaining, since they permanently shut their factory in Oldham after dozens of activists occupied, blockaded and damaged the site.
In their own words Palestine Action says “We are tired of the UK profiting from the colonisation of Palestine. We are tired of arms companies operating in the same streets that we live in. We are tired of the lack of repercussions for their actions. And this is exactly what we plan to change. Our actions expose, disrupt and destroy the companies which profit off the death and destruction of the Palestinian people and other oppressed groups across the world.”
Palestine Action’s most recognisable tactics involve covering targeted companies buildings in red paint, graffiti, smashing windows, occupying buildings and amassing crowds of support outside. A number of their actions have resulted in arrests and trials but they also encourage unaccountable actions as well. They’ve even visited Elbits landlord JLL and defaced their buildings demanding they evict Elbit.
When it comes to taking action alongside Palestine action they offer four ways to get involved:
Join your regional group
Set up your own affinity group
Do your own action and send your pictures in anonymously
Join a national working group

GERMAN SHEPHERD RESCUED FROM APPALLING CONDITIONS AT A BIRMINGHAM PUB.
19th January, Birmingham UK.
originally published via: actforfree.noblogs.org
reported anonymously.
“Animal Liberation Front unit “Las Zorritas” claims responsibilty for the rescue of a female German Shepherd on 19 January from the yard of the Greenwood pub in Chelmsley Wood, Birmingham, where she was being kept in appalling conditions as a “guard dog”.
Three activists kept watch while a fourth carried out the rescue.
The dog, whom we have now learned was called “Mia”, has been given a health check and spayed by a sympathetic vet, and is safe and happy in a loving home.
We keep a constant eye on businesses premises for “guard dogs” kept outside in conditions of cruelty and neglect, and this was just one of several rescues we have carried out in recent months.
We do not normally claim responsibility, so as to avoid putting the rescued dogs at risk, but we feel we have to on this occasion, because well-intentioned animal rights campaigners and “dog lovers” have presumed Mia was stolen by dognappers for nefarious purposes and have posted appeals about her all over social media and on dogs lost websites.
We would call on those people to please immediately remove all such posts, as they are putting Mia’s safety, and that of her rescuers, at extreme risk.
We have put together a video of Mia’s rescue from pub CCTV footage taken from social media and our own recording of the appalling conditions she was being kept in.
Until all are free!”
ATTACK ON A COAL COMPANY IN LAUSITZ
26th November 2021, Germany.
originally published by: Deustch indymedia
“Last night we were in a lignite mine in the Lausitz area and sabotaged various excavators, vehicles and generally all the machines we encountered on our way.
Dear lovers,
Our message to you is: It’s particularly easy, because leag doesn’t protect their equipment at all, for example they are not even locked. The tools you need can be carried in one hand and you have them at home anyway. You don’t have to call yourself an anarchist to not stand idly by but to influence things as much as you can. To do it, you just need determination!*
We would also like to share with you the instructions we used.
Every engine requires clean air to breath just like you or me. Because Mother Nature hates machines as much as you and I do, she made sand and dirt so it will damage engines. Pulling the air filter makes all kinds of fun expensive stuff happen inside the engine that the people who made it think is bad. Pulling the filter is fast, it doesn’t really make any noise or draw attention like lighting the thing on fire, No nasty chemicals escape as the engine is destroyed, It doesn’t cause damage that will hurt someone, and nothing tells the machine or the operator the filter is missing. Expect to find 2 filters, one inside another on almost all heavy equipment.
The filters are inside a small trash can size drum of either metal or plastic. On most equipment the filter is near where the exhaust stack is located.
The lid, about the size of a record, is usually held on with metal clips. Use a knife, multi tool or stick to pop the clips open, sometimes they will pop open fast and break skin.
After you remove the filter there are a few options:
1. Take the filter and put the lid back on. Congratulations the machine will suck in dirt and sand and the engine will get “dusted” The warranty is void and the company is on the hook for a lot of repairs that will take at least a week to fix. If you get caught, Filters are under 500 bucks so it is probably a misdemeanor unless you hike with some monkey wrench shit on Bad part, about this method, it takes a little bit and things are still getting destroyed
2. Take the filter and put pebbles down the hole you find. Hurray the rocks broke the turbo and cost a lot of money the machine is down, you stopped it!!!! You can put the filter back the rocks will do the work for you. Damage happens when the machine is started. Bad part turbos take a day or two to fix though, but they do cost a few thousand dollars, Insurance might cover the damage
3. Put water down the hole you left when the filter was removed, The pistons will fill with a few gallons of water and hopefully the engine gets a lot of damage. Machine will stop, it will not start again for a while. .. Don’t drink from jugs you use and you should be using gloves anyway. If you don’t want to take the filter you can put it back the water will do the work. Bad part, not everyone has access to a lot of water and it is way to heavy to hike in. Insurance might cover the damage if you are obvious.Put the cover on, the big gaping hole is pretty obvious to most people operating machines. Don’t travel around with the filter, If you go for option one bury it or hide it in the bushes far away It is against the rules to leave forensic evidence during night work. Nothing I have written here has any real chance of hurting someone.
Don’t get caught,
General Ludd
We have attached a few pictures from the instructions. We would like to thank General Ludd for the joy we had doing this.
We don’t think we can save the world but we will fight to our own demise to take a piece of the all-devouring Leviathan to the grave.
We want to take revenge and make them pay. It’s a really satisfying feeling to use our lifetime for something we love with all our hearts: destroying what we hate with all our hearts.
* We are aware that not all people can do such actions. We do not want to say that our way is better than others. We chose it because it seemed to us that it fits us best.”
