“I saw a broken down lorry in Wilton, near Salisbury. In the back, the lorry driver was trying to re-stack crates filled with thousands of chicks; the noise of their cheeping was deafening. There were loads of dead chicks on the floor of the lorry, crushed by the falling crates. The driver was trying to sort them into piles of dead chicks or throw them into a crate if they were still alive. Lots of chicks were rolling off the back into the road. I stopped beside the lorry to block all the traffic, shocked that everyone was just going about their day.

I picked some chicks off the road and placed them in my glove box. Another lady was doing the same. Pedestrians were horrified that the chicks were off to be killed by factory farms and grabbed a few to take home. I kept filling my truck until the lorry driver turned his back. I grabbed the crate he had filled with the escaped chicks, put it in my pick-up, and drove. I took them home to Dorset to figure out what to do next. There were 70 of them!

I contacted Dorset Animal Action and other local groups, and word soon spread. A sanctuary got in touch, and 20 minutes later, the chicks and I were back on the road. I’ve had an update several days later, and all 70 babies survived their traumatic experience and are doing really well.”

These beautiful chicks will now get to live out their full lives in the safety of a sanctuary, but billions more are suffering inside factory farms. Be vegan for them ”.

23 July, Greece.

[editor’s note: Tsakiris egg factory runs 19 separate egg farms in the area. On the night of the 22nd of July, their main egg sorting facility was completely destroyed by fire. Greenpeace took the opportunity to say that thousands of birds had been murdered by the blaze, which ensured that a big percentage of the news coverage was about the imaginary death of chicks at a factory where no animals are housed. This action did not result in the death of any egg laying chickens as it was the central sorting and packaging factory that was attacked.]

ENGLISH (translation): 



“We take responsibility for the arson of the egg production company TSAKIRIS FAMILY in the area of Thessaloniki.

Your regret for your destroyed “property” is a source of amusement for us. You are not businessmen, you are murderers of millions of animals. Thousands of animals every day die under miserable conditions for the taste of their flesh, providing incalculable profits to their masters. Sentient beings that can feel every emotion we feel are treated as raw material for capitalist production.

In a world where the extermination of the defenseless (animals) is a normality, we refuse to be part of it. We refuse to passively watch the slaughter and fight with fire. We do not wait for the “time” to come to deal with animals as the graphic professional revolutionaries ask us to do. We determine that the time is now and we move forward with unyielding struggle.

Until the last animal Auschwitz is closed.

PS1: If you rebuild it, we’ll burn it again.

PS2: There is a lot of garbage that in one way or another contributes to the extermination of animals. By far the most miserable of these are the meat-eating environmentalists.”

GREEK (original):

“Αναλαμβάνουμε την ευθύνη για τον εμπρησμό της αυγοπαραγωγικής εταιρίας TSAKIRIS FAMILY στην περιοχή της Θεσσαλονίκης.

Η λύπη σας για την κατεστραμμένη «περιούσια» σας αποτελεί πηγή διασκέδασης για μας. Δεν είστε επιχειρηματίες, είστε δολοφόνοι εκατομμυρίων ζώων. Χιλιάδες ζώα κάθε μέρα πεθαίνουν υπό άθλιες συνθήκες για τη γεύση της σάρκας τους, προσφέροντας ανυπολόγιστα κέρδη στα αφεντικά. Αισθανόμενα όντα που μπορούν να νιώσουν κάθε συναίσθημα που νιώθουμε κι εμείς, αντιμετωπίζονται ως πρώτη ύλη της καπιταλιστικής παραγωγής.

Σε ένα κόσμο που η εξόντωση των ανυπεράσπιστων (ζώων) αποτελεί κανονικότητα, εμείς αρνούμαστε να είμαστε μέρος της. Αρνούμαστε να κοιτάμε παθητικά τη σφαγή και πολεμάμε με φωτιά. Δεν περιμένουμε να «έρθει η ώρα» να ασχοληθούμε με τα ζώα όπως μας ζητάνε οι γραφικοί επαγγελματίες επαναστάτες. Ορίζουμε εμείς ότι η κατάλληλη ώρα είναι τώρα και προχωράμε με ανυποχώρητο αγώνα.

Μέχρι να κλείσει και το τελευταίο Άουσβιτς των ζώων.

ΥΓ1: Αν το ξαναχτίσετε, θα το ξανακάψουμε.

ΥΓ2: Υπάρχουν πολλά σκουπίδια που με τον ένα τροπο ή τον άλλο συμβάλουν στην εξόντωση των ζώων. Μακράν τα αθλιότερα από αυτά είναι οι κρεατοφάγοι οικολόγοι.”
