“In the early morning on the 14h of December in the Netherlands we visited a logistics hub used to transport cows. There are 55 locations in the country with a license to transport animals this way. These hubs are the small points of failure that allow all other abuse in the industry to happen.

The weather was very misty which was a great advantage to us. After getting through 40 centimeters of cow feces with shoes not made to walk through cow shit and cutting through a fence we arrived at an open area.

On our right there was a stable and on our left 3 trucks used to transport them. Today we were there for the trucks. We cut their brakes, glued the air valves of their tires and decided to leave some messages on the trucks themselves, all while trying to not upset the cows too much about their unexpected visitors.

After about half an hour of messing around we got back, smelly but safe.

Earlier this week collectief Ongehoord (collective Unheard) released footage of 5 logistics hubs. This showed beatings, electrocuting an unresponsive cow 40 times and dragging one away with a forklift that couldn’t move on their own anymore. One of these hubs was already put under supposed stricter supervision by the NVWA (Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority) as response to earlier footage two years ago, which of course did not improve the situation.

To our circles these things are upsetting but not surprising, so it was so uplifting to see the public outcry when the footage entered the front pages. The farmers involved were condemned not just by us but by the general public. If we can show the people that the state can not be trusted to protect animal welfare and that the industry is based on murder and abuse at its very foundations, then the industry is doomed.”

“A simple task, perhaps not as courageous as others but a task nonetheless. Committed alone that you can try at home!

In the dead of night I was driving through a village and noticed brand new “Christmas turkey sold here” signs from a local farm. They’d just been put up that day and were what looked to be metal and expensive held up by wooden poles.

I returned the next day once again in the cover of night armed with boots and a saw. Cut all of the legs off. Bended them in half and disposed of them 14 signs to be precise. The turkeys are still in the farm but unfortunately as a solo I am unable to safely operate. If they buy more I will destroy more. Until every cage is empty and all signs are folded.

ENGLISH:

“In the night of Wednesday 10th of December we took the infamous cattle transporter De Keizer Vee in Oud-Alblas out of operation.

If a dog is overheating in a locked car, we smash the window to stop them from suffering. With the same reasoning we broke De Keizers’ transport vehicles and infamous shovel, in order to relieve the cows’ suffering (for now).

We can’t trust the government and the companies to fix the industry. Money is their highest priority. We have to do it ourselves. Following the same reasoning, you can sabotage too!

Together we can break the animal industry. Until every animal is free!

“Op de nacht van woensdag 10 december hebben wij de befaamde* vee-verzamelplaats van De Keizer Vee in Oud-Alblas onklaar gemaakt.

Als een hond oververhit in een auto opgesloten zit, slaan we de ruit kapot, zodat we de hond kunnen bevrijden van diens lijden. Met dezelfde redenering hebben we Keizers transport-aanhangers en befaamde shovel kapot gemaakt, zodat daar (voorlopig) geen koeien meer zullen lijden.

We kunnen niet vertrouwen in de overheid en de bedrijven om de industrie aan te pakken. Geld heeft voor hun de hoogste prioriteit. Daarom moeten we er zelf iets aan doen.

Met dezelfde beredenering kun jij ook saboteren! Samen maken we de hele dierindustrie kapot. Totdat elk dier vrij is!

Two weeks ago, we visited one of the mink farms at a location not mentioned here for security reasons. After trudging through the woods and blackberry bushes for hours, since the farm was in such a remote location, we saw the sheds we were looking for for so long, and heard dogs barking somewhere far away. This property was so comfortable being hidden from the human eye that they did not even care to install a fence, other than some waist high barbed wire.

It was particularly silent in the sheds and we started to fear that this farmer already skinned their prisoners. How surprised were we, when cracking open the first barn door, we were met with not-less-surprised chickens, a split second of silence and eye-to-eye stare, followed by their confused chirp. We decided to leave them confused for a bit longer and go investigate the other barns.

Upon entering each of the following barns, we discovered either completely empty barns, empty mink cages, or mink cages dismantled into a metal pile. To make sure there is no mink left hostage, including the breeder stock, we opened the last barn that stood slightly aside from others, making us think that it would be the most likely location of the breeder mink. That barn, like the first one, made a surprised chicken chirp upon opening.

This farmer just recently made a switch from mink farming to the “cage-free” egg industry, and was dismantling the mink cages. But we still had some homies to help, so we came back to the first barn and took 2 hens away from their fate at the egg-laying farm life. We are sad we could take only 2, but we could not take more because of all the blackberry jungles and tools we already had on our hands. We regret not smashing every egg in those barns for hens to eat. But we learned that even in 2025, some (ex-)mink farmers have no fence or alarms.

Almost anyone with enough determination to end fur industry can pick a good target and do it. These 2 chickens now have lives that they did not even dream about, and to everyone activist out there still being on the fence: cut through it instead. They deserve it.

P.S. Rescued in solidarity with Zoe Rosenberg, Animal rescue is NOT a crime.

P.S. Although the exact location was not mentioned in the communique, it was relayed to people making the updated list of fur farms so that everyone can soon know that this farm is closed now.”

“In Buenos Aires it is common to see birds exploited in houses. They are used, murdered for food, killed for religious rituals or made fight to death.

When there is a chance to grab one you must take advantage of the opportunity and free them from their slavery, that is why it is important to keep your eyes sharp and your brains awake, focused on animal liberation at all times, tomorrow is often too late.

En cuanto surge la oportunidad de agarrar alguna hay que aprovechar la ocasion y liberarla de su condicion de esclavo, por eso es importante tener nuestros ojos sanos, mentes bien despiertas, enfocadas en la liberacion animal todo el tiempo, mañana suele ser tarde.

“Hell on Earth — 6 chickens freed from so‑called parent‑stock housing!

In the cold evening hours of 09.11.25 we helped 6 individuals break out of the fate imposed on them by humans — on their way to a future that finally belongs to them.

We gained access to one of the countless animal hells on this planet; in this one roughly 46,000 individuals per generation must suffer and die for human selfishness.

As so‑called parent animals they are condemned to spend their short lives of little more than twelve months in the tightest of spaces with countless others — only to lay eggs from which the next generation of so‑called broiler chickens hatches into man‑made torment. Those chicks are killed after a few weeks, before the parent animals themselves have their lives taken.

We were able to help 6 to escape this hell. We grabbed the traumatized-looking individuals at random. Now, for the first time in their lives, they will feel the sun and the rain on their bodies. They will bathe in the sand and scratch in the earth. They will live instead of merely vegetating.

With heavy hearts we had to leave all the others to this unavoidable fate — locked up, deprived of rights, waiting for their death.

The only promises we could give them were:
As long as there are cages, we will open them.
As long as there are chains, we will cut them.
As long as there are instruments of murder, we will destroy them.

For the liberation of all animals.

With love,


ALF

P.S. On our way, we also knocked over a hunting stand.”

“From Buenos Aires, Argentina

Bird liberation.

They were slaves, just babies, they kept feeding them continuosly to fatten them up so that human scum feels satisfied by the flavour of their death.

We decided to put into practice our words for animal liberation and took them away from their prison and future murder.

Now they are individuals that will live a life of dignity until the end.

Animal liberators.”

Pero pusimos en practica nuestras ideas que hablan de liberacion y lxs sacamos de su encierro y futuro de asesinato. ahora son individuos que viviran una vida digna hasta el fin. liberadorxs de animales”

“Hunt saboteur activists destroyed 4 hunting towers to commemorate the death of Imanali Nurakan, a 16 years old exchange student. He was killed by a drunk local hunter exactly 5 years ago. The hunter was sentenced to 4 years 9 month of prison time and he already served it. No other hunting club member was ever held responsible and this is gross injustice. Because they knew he’s a dangerous, aggressive alcoholic, an ex cop, who even abused his own family. But they neglected and ignored all these facts completely. Should they react and expel him, this tragedy would never happen.

Our message to all hunters: stop killing wild animals, stop killing human animals you psychopathic scumbags!

Animal liberation for human liberation!”
