We didn’t make photos because we hate technology.
SOLIDARITY WITH THE NON HUMANS RESISTING HUMAN OPPRESSION
SOLIDARITY WITH THE PEOPLE OF NORA FOREST RESISTING THE EVICTION
SOLIDARITY WITH THE ANARCHISTS, NIHILISTS AND ANTISPECISIEST IN JAIL”

“Early Friday July.29th, a tow truck was sent to tow various community members & forest defenders vehicles from the Welaunee People’s Park… Several different autonomous groups took action to stop tow truck, one by slashing tires, smashing windows, graffiti, & generally fucking it up, & a mini excavator was also subsequently ushered out of parking lot near woods & cops kept at bay.
Later, another group came through & set that evil thing (tow truck) on fire.
The tow truck is no more, & we hope this serves as a warning to other tow trucks & various machines thinking about entering the forest to evict or destroy the woods, that you will inevitably suffer the same fate.
DEFEND THE FOREST!
No cop city! No Black Hall sound stage everrrrrr”

“This week saw 202 rabbits saved as a result of the campaign against T&S rabbit farm, something that proved without a doubt that what we as activists do makes a difference, something that inspires us all to do more.
Last night saw 36 hens saved, as we took that feeling of inspiration and turned it into action.
So many of us read hit reports and applaud the results, wondering what it would be like to do such a thing… Well turns out, it’s pretty fucking easy TBH.
After finding homes for hens in sanctuaries, and selecting a suitable site (found by browsing maps on aerial view on a secure browser, having installed a VPN), we went out under cover of darkness. Carriers in hand, we masked up, gloved up, and found an entry point to the shed, without even needing to break down the door. One person stayed on lookout, the other entered the dark shed with a headtorch, scooped the hens into the carriers… and off we went. These hens have been saved from horrific conditions and bloody slaughter. These hens will now live happy fulfilling lives.
It really was that simple.
And there really is no reason not to.
This action is dedicated to the rabbits saved from T&S farms – may your freedom inspire the liberation of many more animals.
Until all are free,
From a couple of average normal people, just like you. #noheros”

“THIS IS OUR MESSAGE TO SOCIETY: DONT CONSUME, LETS SABOTAGE!!
Thanxxx”
Our comrades at Wildfire have let us know they are doing bulk pre orders for Volume 3 of your favourite anarchist animal liberationist magazine.
With so much interesting content in the past two volumes, we are sure volume 3 is not going to disappoint, so we have ordered 100 copies for you all to enjoy. You’ll be able to purchase them through our website once they arrive to us!
They are still taking pre orders for bulk, so if you are a group, a campaign or some sort of colletive that would like to purchase a bunch to make a few extra coins, you can reach them on wildfiremagazine (at) riseup (dot) net, or directly on Instagram on @wildfire.zine.
Their bulk orders are a minimum of 30 magazines, and the price is 1 GBP per mag. Not bad is it?! Get ordering if you think you can shift a few!
We love Wildfire not only because it is very pretty and it has good content, but also because there is no doubt that paper mags create so much more culture than social media accounts.
We can’t wait to have it in stock in our website, are you excited to read it?
SEE YOU IN THE NEXT RIOT!

ENG:
“Animals are people”, “fish are sentient” or “meat = murder” are ideas with which we wanted to mark the minds. We denounced the exploitation of animals in all its forms in front of shops and on squares where the message would be visible.
We are talking about the thousands of billions of sentient beings slaughtered and exploited annually by humans in laboratories, slaughterhouses, farms, fishing nets, beehives, etc… Nobody speaks about them, condemned to a regime of general indifference and contempt.
We were arrested by an unexpected police patrol and taken to the station. Our determination is as strong as ever. The state wants to silence us, let’s show them that it won’t be easy.
Why aren’t more of us doing this kind of action ? The antispeciesist struggle must disturb, be more offensive and not be afraid. Let’s go together, let’s take the maximum of precautions and if we find ourselves facing repression let’s be in solidarity ! And above all, let’s not forget who we are fighting for.

“« Les animaux sont des personnes », « les poissons sont sensibles » ou encore « viande = meurtre » sont des idées avec lesquelles on a voulu marquer les esprits. Nous avons dénoncé l’exploitation des animaux sous toutes ses formes devant les commerces et sur des places où le message sera visible.
Nous parlons des milliers de milliards d’êtres sensibles massacré·e·s et exploité·e·s annuellement par les humain·e·s dans les laboratoires, les abattoirs, les élevages, les filets de pêche, les ruches, etc… Personne ne parle d’elleux, condamné·e·s au régime de l’indifférence générale et du mépris.
Nous avons été arrêté·e·s par une patrouille de police inattendue et emmené·e·s au poste. Notre détermination est toujours aussi grande. L’État veut nous faire taire, montrons-lui que ça ne sera pas facile.
Pourquoi ne sommes-nous pas plus à faire ce type d’actions ? La lutte antispéciste doit déranger, être plus offensive et ne pas avoir peur. Allons-y ensemble, prenons le maximum de précautions et si nous nous retrouvons face à la répression soyons solidaires ! Et surtout, n’oublions pas pour qui nous nous battons.

“NO PEACE FOR BUNNY KILLERS
On 3rd August 2022 the ALF paid a visit to two of rabbit killing scum Phil Kerry’s sites. We wanted to send a message to Phil that his life will be made a misery for as long as he continues to imprison and kill rabbits.
At his Granby site, Phil is building a lovely shiny big new house on the blood money of all the rabbits who have suffered and died there. We made sure that every window we could reach on that house was smashed to pieces, and painted some important messages on the walls, including “NO PEACE FOR BUNNY KILLERS”, “FUCK YOU PHIL”, “ANN IS A RABBIT PERV”, and some nice big ALF symbols. The static caravan and some other outbuildings received the same fate.
To make the message crystal clear, we also took a visit to the former farm in Atlow. There’s not much left there to fuck up, but we trashed the static caravan, smashed windows and got busy with the spray paints.
This is just the beginning, Phil. Things will only get worse and more expensive for you. Do the sensible thing – shut down your East Bridgford farm now and hand over all the bunnies to people who will love and care for them.
ALF”

“We destroyed the hunting towers again! We know that is not punishment enough for murdering our non-human brothers and sisters! Stop hunting!”
Shut Down T&S Rabbits has been throwing blow after blow to T&S Rabbits, a fur farming enterprise in the UK that uses a loophole in the fur farming prohibition laws to exploit rabbits and sell their skin for huge profits.
The campaign launched a few months ago and they’ve shut down multiple planning applications in multiple locations, closed down one of their farms and is now tackling the last standing farm owned by the company using pressure campaigning as their main tool to success.
They have published a new website that exposes businesses associated with T&S as well as addresses from everybody involved. They have a page where they’ve published all the undercover footage they have gathered during the campaign, and a week ago they announced a week of action against T&S Rabbits.
From UA, we want to support their fight against the rabbit farm and we are joining their call. From wherever you are in the world, you can join the week of action (8th to 14th of August). If you do not have targets nearby to organise a demo, do a banner drop, or maybe go protest outside your nearest fur shop in solidarity with the campaign!
If you take action in solidarity, contact Shut Down T&S Rabbits through their socials or email so they hear about your actions. Find all the info here:
https://shutdowntnsrabbits.farm
There are many tactics that people can use, and the only way to win the fight is to try them all. What will you do to help those rabbits?
SOLIDARITY IS OUR BIGGEST WEAPON!
