“Four birds, one night
Hello again scummy gamekeeper. You got new traps and moved them to new locations but we know our way around in the dark.
The first larsen we found was full of rotting flesh and scared magpies. The call bird looked in a bad way and the two trap compartments had successfully captured two other magpies. We took them all away and broke your trap. Next we found some fens and then another larsen. This one had just the call bird, skinny and covered in fleas with no food and hardly any water. We took them away with us too.
After a night of rest, a health check, some food and treatment, three birds flew away to rejoin the wild. But one call bird had been so roughly treated that they will need time to recover before they can fly away.
Fuck all traps, all cages and prisons. We will keep going till they are all broken.
Solidarity with the Filton 24, one struggle one fight.”
