URGENT CALL OF SUPPORT FOR HAMBACHER FORST!

Hambi has survived for a decade, but it is in danger. Back in September 2024 some people occupied Sündi, a once upon a time part of Hambi which now stands in isolation in between the largest coal mine in Europe and the remnants of Manheim village. RWE claims they need to dig the ‘Mannheim Bay’ in order to collect overburden material to stabilise other parts of the hole, but in reality they just want to dig more, and more and more until their time runs out. 

 Folks in Hambi fear that any day after the 6th of January might be eviction day, and that both Sündi and the main forest occupation in Hambacher Forst will be evicted, so they are asking for immediate support.

You can check their website for more information on how to get there here:

Read their call to action below:

“The industrial monster is at the door! The biggest pit in Europe – the Hambach Mine – is getting bigger day by day. A precious woodland we call “the Sündi” (once part of the Hambacher Forest) stands directly in its path, right next to the ruins of the former village of Manheim (which coal-giant RWE has also been laying to waste).

Since September the Sündi has been squatted! Where a world-eating coalmine was scheduled to expand, an autonomous zone has sprung up in its place, blocking the expansion of the pit and the system of death it powers. But now we have the news that the state will attempt an eviction, possibly as soon as January 6.

We are calling on all who hear this call to come to the Sündi NOW!!! Or to join us in the still squatted Hambacher Forest, which lies right next door, and will possibly get invaded by the cops at the same time. Tell your friends, grab a tent, and join us in either of these places if you can! Or make solidarity actions where you are!

Love and rage to the comrades evicted from the Dieti and Grüneheide forest occupations! Now the state makes its move against Sündi – don’t let it be three evictions in these months! Let’s make this eviction attempt a nightmare for the state!!!

No compromise with power! Industrial expansion… NOT ONE STEP FURTHER!!!

In solidarity with all who struggle against domination,
Some creatures living in the Hambi”

CARA AND CELESTE’S TEE FUNDRAISER

Just a quick update for you all! We were planning on sending all tshirts to everybody tht pre-ordered by the end of december, but unfortunately with christmas and new years dates we are yet to receive the garments in order to post them to you!

We will be receiving the tshirts this week and start posting all orders then, so bare with us, we will get them all sorted and they will arrive to you soon!

We are also aware that we’ve not published the amount raised for C&C yet. This is because we do not know until we calculate the postage costs, which will only be available once we’ve parcelled all your orders. All going well we will be able to release the final number (and send it to the fundraiser!) next week. Sorry it’s taken us a little longer than expected, but we will come through with full transparency!

Thank you for your patience with this. We would’ve loved to send the tees a lot earlier, but that’s life sometimes!

Solidarity always

DOZENS OF CAGES FOR DECOY BIRDS DESTROYED BY THE ALF.

31st December, North Italy.

ENGLISH (translation):

“NO ONE KNOWS BUT IT WAS THE WOLF WHO TAUGHT LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD TO GO INTO THE WOODS TO FOLLOW THE HUNTER’S TRAIL. LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD WHEN HE MET THE HUNTER UNDERSTOOD THAT THE REAL PREDATOR TO BE AFRAID OF WAS NOT THE WOLF. FROM THERE ON LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD BEGAN TO FOLLOW THE ANIMAL’S FOOTSTEPS, WHICH LED HER TO HELLISH PLACES, PRISONS WHERE TENDER LITTLE BIRDS ARE SEGREGATED UNTIL THEY DIE FOR THE PURPOSE OF DECEITFULLY ATTRACTING THEIR FELLOW HUMANS. THE HUNTER, WHO IS AN INFAMOUS AND COWARDLY MAN, HIDES IN SHEDS AND SHOOTS THE LITTLE BIRDS THAT APPROACH DRAWING SADISTIC ENJOYMENT FROM THEM.

ALL THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

TO CELEBRATE THE ARRIVAL OF THE NEW YEAR WE WENT TO ONE OF THE MANY SHEDS IN NORTHERN ITALY AND DESTROYED A DOZEN CAGES WHERE THEY ARE LOCKED UP THE BIRDS USED AS LIVE DECOYS, WE TAMPERED WITH THE LOCK OF THE SHED AND WE SOILED IT. THE ALF IS WATCHING AND THERE IS NO PLACE TO HIDE”

ITALIAN (original):

“NESSUNO LO SA MA E’ STATO IL LUPO AD INSEGNARE A CAPPUCCETTO ROSSO AD ADDENTRARSI NEL BOSCO PER SEGUIRE LE TRACCE DEL CACCIATORE. CAPPUCCETTO ROSSO QUANDO INCONTRO’ IL CACCIATORE COMPRESE CHE IL VERO PREDATORE DI CUI AVERE PAURA NON ERA IL LUPO. DA LI’ IN AVANTI CAPPUCCETTO ROSSO COMINCIO’ A SEGUIRE LE ORME DELL’ ANIMALE CHE LA CONDUSSERO IN LUOGHI INFERNALI, PRIGIONI DOVE TENERI UCCELLINI VENGONO SEGREGATI FINO ALLA LORO MORTE CON LO SCOPO DI ATTRARRE CON L’INGANNO I LORO SIMILI. IL CACCIATORE, CHE E’ UN UOMO INFAME E VIGLIACCO, SI NASCONDE IN CAPANNI E SPARA AGLI UCCELLINI CHE SI AVVICINANO TRAENDONE SADICO GODIMENTO.

TUTTO QUESTO E’ INACCETTABILE.

PER FESTEGGIARE L’ ARRIVO DEL NUOVO ANNO CI SIAMO RECATI PRESSO UNO DEI TANTI CAPANNI PRESENTI NEL NORD ITALIA E ABBIAMO DISTRUTTO UNA DECINA DI GABBIE DOVE VENGONO RINCHIUSI GLI UCCELLINI USATI COME RICHIAMI VIVI, ABBIAMO MANOMESSO LA SERRATURA DEL CAPANNO E LO ABBIAMO IMBRATTATO. THE ALF IS WATCHING AND THERE IS NO PLACE TO HIDE.”

GUINEA PIGS LIBERATED IN SOLIDARITY WITH DANIEL SAN DIEGO.

1st January, Midlands UK

Received anonymously via email:

“After some digging we found a large scale breeder of guinea pigs and paid them a visit to check out their operations.

It wasn’t pretty and we were faced with the all too familiar sight of filthy over crowded areas. The dirty behind the scenes of the pet industry.

Not long after arriving we saw a worker walking around so we quickly placed eight guinea pigs into our carriers and absconded before being seen. We could only take as many as we had good homes for and while this means all the world to them it is just a drop in the ocean. You can not comprehend the number of victims involved. These breeders and sellers must be stopped. They will use their bodies like machines and dispose of them once they fall apart enough to no longer be profitable. The daily reality of the animals trapped in these places is a nightmare, especially those who will be used for breeding relentlessly till their body can’t take anymore. The battered parents of the animals you’ll see displayed at your local pet shop.

Endless solidarity to all our comrades behind bars and directly to Daniel Andreas San Diego. Your oppressors are our mutual enemies, be it breeders, vivisectors, farmers or the state. Fuck all cages and the people who make them.

Some anarchists”

CENTRAL PARK ZOO VANDALISED.

5th January, NY USA.

Received anonymously via email:

“I decided to pay a visit to central park animal prison. Thousands of people spend time in this park every day going about their daily lives meanwhile these animals are destined for a lifetime behind bars, away from their natural environments where they are free to roam and live as they are supposed to. I redecorated the signs for accuracy and poured red paint all over the entrance to represent the many deaths lost to this disgusting place after a life in prison. Two coyotes a raccoon and a rat crossed paths with me on my way out eager to see action taken on behalf of animals.  Fuck all prisons. Abolishing them doesn’t stop at only the ones that have human animals inside.”
