Protest at the Attica Zoological Park ( Athens, Greece)
On Sunday, June 29th, an intervention took place outside the Attica Zoological Park to mark three years since the cold-blooded murder of the chimpanzee who dared to escape from his cage.
We stood for 1.5 hours outside the parking lot, in front of the adjacent aqua park with water slides, which is owned by the AZP. Cops and plainclothes cops were present in the parking lot and told us that it was private property and that we were not allowed to go through it to approach the entrance.
Texts were handed out to passing cars, to people heading to the water slides and to AZP customers. Flyers were thrown, and slogans were chanted. Towards the end, we passed through the cops in a small march, ignoring their pathetic attempts to stop us by repeating their claims about private property, and we went right up to the entrance.
There, we loudly chanted many slogans. Lesueur (the owner of AZP) and his daughter approached the entrance, visibly irritated by our presence, well-protected behind their bodyguards and the cops. We stayed there for a while and then all returned to the original spot, where the gathering ended.
Uncompromising struggle until total liberation, until the burning of the last prison.
THE PLACE OF WILD ANIMALS IS IN THEIR NATURAL AND UNTAMED HABITATS, NOT IN THE CAGES OF ZOOS
FROM PALESTINE TO ATTICA — FIRE TO ALL CELLS
THE STRUGGLE FOR TOTAL LIBERATION IS A STRUGGLE FOR ANARCHY
