BAVARIA ANIMAL LIBERATION FRONT HELPS FREE FOUR PIGLETS FROM A FLESH FARM.

Delayed Report, May, Bavaria Germany.

received anonymously via email:

“On the 26th of december 2024 the ALF liberated four piglets from a conventionel pig breeding factory farm in bavaria.

It was a quick hit and run action. We told ourelves for the animals safety it is best to be as quick as possible. We went in, found the mother sows wiht their piglets, took four of them in our carriers and left, disappearing in the cold darkness.

Although we were in the facility for just a few minutes what we saw inside still haunts us to this day.

Behind the first door we entered, we found sows lying cramped in crates. Their backs were turned towards us, the direction of the door.

Noticing us from behind they tried to stand up, moving around, started to make a lot of noise. They clearly were in fear and tried to just escape the situation. But the steel crates did barely allow any movement so they hit their bodys against the steel crates. This sight of terrified beings, cramped so tightly in a crate that every attempted movement just resulted in hitting against the steel bars of the crates, completely unable to change their situation, THIS sight broke our hearts.

Because of the loud noise we quickly left again and closed the door. In this room were the mother sows without piglets.

We opened another door and here they were: Mothersows lying on blank concrete, fixed in one position, unable to even turn around, their piglets all over the place.

We took four of the older piglets, not the just born ones, because we assumed the older ones have a higher chance of survival, are almost weaned of and will be taken from the mothersow not later than a few days anyway.

At home we took care of them as good as we could, went to the vet withing the next days.

Now for the piglets the beautiful part of their story began. It did not take a long time until they really enjoyed their new home and discovered their new enviroment.

We worked around the clock to find a new permanent home for them. And eventually we did. Now they are having a permanent home at a sanctuary. (see picture)

It brings undescribable joy to our hearts seeing these animals , whose fate should have been the filthy, lifeless enviroment of a factory farm and a cruel death in a slaughter house, now running around on a sanctuary, breathing fresh air, playing and sleeping in hay.

This experience strengthend the will to see this injustice end! The recall of what was inside this factory farm reinforces the determination to fight back even harder.

We never, never surrender to injustice and evil.

We keep fighting for freedom and justice.

Until every cage is empty.

Lets make the ALF a threat for animal abusers all over the world.

Greetings of Love and Resistance from bavaria ALF”

INTERNATIONAL ANIMAL LIBERATION GATHERING IN APPELSCHA, NETHERLANDS.

WHAT: Anarchist, animal liberation gathering

WHEN: 7-10th August

WHERE: Camping tot Vrijheidsbezinning, Appelscha Netherlands.

BiteBack NL organises an animal liberation gathering in the anarchist camping grounds of Appelscha.

Coming up to their second year, the international event features workshops, lectures, vegan food, community, rest, movies, bands and stalls. The even is fully in English.

Interestingly, the event is hosted in a very historically important landmark for anarchism. The camping ‘Tor Vrijheidsbezinning’ was once upon a time a potato field, purchased by anarchists back in 1933 and turned into a place of gathering and camping where many activist events have been organised ever since. The location has multiple venues as well as a few toilets and showers, but you’ll need to bring a tent to sleep!

Food is provided by Le Sabot, an activist political kitchen run by anarchists. They cook fully vegan and organic. The organisation asks for an 8.50 EUR donation per day for food, which includes breakfast, lunch and diner, but if you can’t afford it, donate less, and if you can afford donating more, please do so so it helps others!

The event asks for signing up so that they know how many people to expect, and they ask for a 30 EUR contribution for the whole three days. If you can’t afford that, please drop them a message so they know you’re coming, you will not be turned away if you can’t afford the ticket.

They’re also still looking for contributors! Do you have something to say? Some workshop to give, or a movie to show, or a stall to set up? Drop them an email as there are still spaces!

TOTAL LIBERATION GATHERING IN NOTTINGHAM UK

WHAT: Weekend of workshops, mingling and organising

WHEN: 11th-13th July.

WHERE: Sumac Centre, Nottingham UK.

A group of activists called Total Liberation Collective is organising a Total Liberation Gathering in Nottingham UK. This is their first time putting together the gathering, but their values are clear and solid, anti-hierarchical, antifascist, pro trans folk and antispeciests. Their aim is to provide a space where the vegan movement and other liberation movements can unite under a philosophy of Total Liberation.

They are looking for people to give workshops on any topics related to antispeciesism, activism, intersectionality, veganism and total liberation. Contact them if there is some knowledge you can offer!

Food will be provided by Veggies Catering, which is always vegan. There will be limited spaces to sleep at the Sumac Center, but you might need to bring a sleeping bag and mattress.

They have a contact form so you can register as an attendee and so they can keep an eye on numbers for food and other organising bits!

They are also asking for donations at the minute to cover costs of the event, but as far as we can tell the event does not have ticket costs.

CONFERENCE FOR ANIMAL LIBERATION IN COPENHAGEN – EVENTS

WHAT: Long weekend animal lib conference + animal lib march

WHEN: 29th -31st August

WHERE: Copenhagen (location TBC)

The Conference For Animal Liberation Copenhagen is a grassroots, animal liberation focused, English language conference aiming to unite the community and strengthen links between other front line struggles.

They only started a year ago and their first time was a blast, which ended with a march for liberation.

At this stage they have not confirmed the location of the conference, but it is safe to assume it will be somewhere in Copenhagen.

The tickets are around 70 EUR for the whole conference or around 32 EUR for a single day, but that includes breakfast, lunch and diner as well as access to all the talks, and they make very clear that people are not going to be turned away if they lack funds and encourage people who might not be able to afford all or part of the ticket to reach out to find alternative ways, like volunteering or ticket sponsorship.

CALC is still in its infancy but it is making all the moves to become an amazing animal lib conference. They hold a total liberation stance, they recognise the strength in connecting with other struggles and are grasroots based. What else would you want?!

ANIMAL LIBERATION STREAM AT THE EARTH FIRST GATHERING UK.

WHAT: Eco-anarchist DIY summer gathering full of workshops and skill-shares.

WHEN: 6th – 11th August

WHERE: Pembrookshire, Wales (exact address will be made public closer to the date)

received anonymously via email:

“Hey Friends! Another EF! Summer Gathering means we are wanting to organise a strong Animal Liberation presence during the event, to learn from other struggles and to keep pushing the animal liberation line in radical spaces. After sorting last year’s round of workshops, we are going for round two with another Animal Lib stream at this years gathering!

If you’ve never been to an EF! Gathering before, it’s an anarchist organised week of skill-sharing, mingling with other activists, communal living and workshops. This is not your standard capitalist event. Everybody is crew which means you too can chip in and help do a load of washing up or perhaps pick people up from the train station if they can’t make their way to the event by themselves. The event is always priced with a sliding scale (they’ll tell you at the welcome tent how much it costs to host a single person and you can donate that amount, or more, or less, depending on your means. You won’t be turned around if you simply cannot afford that donation, or even ANY donation!

The food is vegan and served three times a day. You pitch a tent, help out with whatever is needed, join workshops, talk to folks and learn about their fights, share with others what you’ve learnt and come out the other side a little tired and a lot inspired! What’s not to like?

We are looking for workshop givers for the Animal Liberation stream. If you have things to teach, let us know and we will try and organise! Please email [email protected] with your workshop suggestions.

The animal liberation movement needs a radical flank not dictated to by big donors, capitalism, the latest ‘vegan’ product or what gets the most likes on social media. We deserve the opportunity to learn from our wins and failures as well as from other radical struggles who are keeping up the fight too. There isn’t a better activist event to join this summer, away from stages and influencers, away from the weird corporate conference circuit, somewhere we can learn from folks on the ground walking the walk instead of just talking.

We will use UA’s platform to inform you of news and developments as and when they come, but you should also check out EF! UK socials because they are publishing all the info that is needed for you to get there!

Find them here:

IG: @earth.firstuk

Website: www.earthfirst.uk (but they’ve not updated it yet with the 2025 summer gathering).

PS: The event is against all hate and bigotry and based on anarchist principles. Fuck the fuck off if you’re a racist, or a transphobe, or in any other way hate minorities (with the exception of the billionaires).

Keep an eye out for more info!

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR ANIMAL LIB EVENTS THIS SUMMER? WE HAVE A FEW TO SHARE!

A couple of weeks ago we echoed the boycott of IARC due to their behaviour towards activists wearing a keffiyeh at the 2024 event and their unwillingness to recognize the genocide happening in Gaza.

Last week IARC made a statement which no only showed fence sitting but also promoted narratives directly from Israel’s kool aid sippy bottle. Not only that but we then saw IARC’s founder once again showing their true colours when saying “Equating all forms of Zionism with genocide erases the complexities of this conflict.”

Let us be clear, there is no way to further Zionism without genocide and apartheid, and there are no forms of Zionism that magically hit the delete button on the 70+ years of invasion over Palestine. Zionism’s target to create the estate of Israel over Palestinian land cannot happen without the subjugation of peoples who were there before Israel was forcefully created.

After we had posted about the boycott we felt there was no need to add anything else to the conversation, but their response activated the salty queens in us and we have decided it is now the time to share with you multiple animal liberation events, gatherings and conferences that are worth going to. Over the next few days we will be sharing some of those events so folks can put them in their calendar and participate in meaningful discussion at animal liberation focused events that do not sit on the fence when it comes to apartheid or murdering children.

If you’re reading this and think we should share an event please email us! We have a few on the list, but we might’ve missed some!

Total liberation is not a slogan. It’s a promise.

JUNE 11th, THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF SOLIDARITY WITH LONG-TERM ANARCHIST PRISONER, IS COMING UP – PRISONER SUPPORT

June 11th is the International Day of Solidarity with Long-Term Anarchist Prisoners. It is a day for us to remember and honor our comrades behind bars. We fight the same fight, but sometimes some of us are locked up in prison, and in these times we really need support.

Together we are stronger!

We can show our solidarity with words, actions and material support. Over the years, people have shown their solidarity with their imprisoned friends in different ways. Only the imagination sets the limits to the ways in which we can support our comrades behind bars.

This year, the call for June 11th is “The Landscape is Transforming”.

You can read the full statement on the June 11th website.

”Our moves towards a life of freedom are undoubtedly shaped and strengthened by struggling alongside those captured by the state. The inventiveness and courage needed to maintain survival and one’s values inside can teach us a great deal about what spirit will need to be mustered as we forge ahead. May this June 11th be a day to reflect on those we love inside, those we grow and struggle with that are locked away, and to make further moves against this world full of prisons and the forces that maintain it…”

Now is a great time to learn more about some anarchist prisoners. Like Marius Mason, an animal liberation activist, who has been in prison since 2009, and he now has less than two years left. But Marius has had a tough time lately and he really needs our continued love and support during his final time behind bars.

Show your solidarity to a prisoner today!

IN SOLIDARITY

ALL HUNTERS ARE DILDOS – LARSEN TRAPS DESTROYED, TOWERS BASHED, DILDO STUCK TO A HUNTING SEAT.

May, Midlands UK.

received anonymously via email:

“A few days ago we visited a shooting estate in the Midlands. Almost immediately, we stumbled upon a Larsen trap. A magpie had been locked inside as bait, so we checked her over and took her to a safe refuge where she could receive veterinary treatment and recover. The trap was torn apart and put out of commission.

In the bushes nearby, we found a big floppy dildo. Presumably, it belonged to the gamekeeper, so after disinfecting it, we gave it back by super-glueing it to the seat of a shooting platform near his house. We left as quickly as we had arrived, but not as silently. Three other shooting platforms were torn to the ground and destroyed as we fled into the darkness with our rescued magpie friend.

Until every gun is silenced, we will be in the forests, the fields, and the country estates to save our wildlife, and to say it loudly: all shooters are big floppy dildos.”

MARIUS’ 2025 STATEMENT.

Greetings and Gratitude to my community,

I want to begin with thanking everyone who wrote a support letter or went to a support event this past year- thank you so much! I know that your solidarity connects incarcerated resisters with so much strength and love. I wish I could have replied to every letter I received – and I will be adding several new contacts to my correspondence list and writing back as much as I can…..This year has been a tough one for me. My twelve-years-long gender-affirming surgery quest was abruptly torpedoed by an administration whose sole mission has been hate and division. On the verge of surgery, successfully integrated into a predominantly-male identified prison population (for years) – I was unceremoniously kidnapped and thrown into the SHU due to an Executive Order making my gender illegal and erasing my rights as a citizen. Since then, I have been transferred to a predominantly female-identified prison population at the Federal Satellite Low in Danbury, Connecticut. It’s been an adjustment socially, but my community here has been very welcoming and affirming. I work as a peer support for an integrated program treating trauma and addiction. That feels meaningful, as so many people lose control over their lives, and often even their very lives, because of untreated addiction problems. I really feel that the international epidemic has at its heart the sense of despair and alienation that so many feel right now.

It’s been an intense year for all communities of resistance – whether we were focusing on the war on Gaza or the war on immigrants. We have been hard-pressed to provide support to those among us who have been damaged by the increasing attacks on women, immigrants, as well as transgender and queer people. The past six months have been a military march backward in human evolution as even the most basic social agreements on the rights of individuals in a society have been violated time and again. Rights guaranteed at the signing of the Magna Carta – rights that were at the heart of the conflict between England and the former colonies, are being systematically disemboweled. It has been said that if we do not learn from history, then we are doomed to repeat it. We have seen the onset of fascism before, and should recognize it now. So…these times are a challenge to any who desire real freedom, who passionately espouse justice and who honor and respect human dignity – and who persist in the belief that we are responsible for each other and to each other and our shared home, this Earth. The strength to face this challenge will come from solidarity…this is always our secret weapon against the venal brutalities of fascism.

Persist and Resist!

Love and Solidarity, Marius Mason

ACTIVISTS LIBERATE TWO LAMBS BEFORE SLAUGHTER FOR EASTER.

April, NY, USA

received anonymously via email:

“We decided to pay a visit to a farm we knew was getting ready to slaughter dozens of innocent lambs for Easter. To our surprise and good luck of these two now free comrades, the farmer was away from the farm and no other human workers seemed to be around at the moment. Already knowing where these prisoners were located, we decided to go in, unfortunately, the skins of what seemed recently murdered lambs were already lying on the ground which confirmed our urge to act. After a few minutes we were all out of the farm on our way to freedom. It is lamentable only two animal comrades made it out, but at least they’ll get to spend the rest of their lives happy and safe. If you’re reading this, go out, liberate animals, take direct action.

Solidarity forever.”
