UNOFFENSIVE IS GOING ON A BREAK!

As you all know by now, UA is a volunteer run collective. We do our best to keep up with news about direct action and we try and help with prisoner support as much as we can, we don’t make money from it and do it because we care about counter info and about upholding a radical platform for people to connect and anonymously report what they’ve been up to.

But burnout sucks! And we’ve experienced many a times, with the collective shifting around and people quitting. We even reached the point of quitting not too long ago! We are approaching a whole decade of existence and do not want to get to the burnout stage again, so we are taking a couple of weeks off. This is not necessarily newsworthy, but we want to give a heads up because if anonymous people are sending reports the media links will likely expire before we check the emails, so do not submit anything until at least the 12th of February, we will be back on the 17th!

If on the other hand your reports can’t wait, remember that NAALPO has a system to receive reports too!

See you soon, remember radical self care, love your people, love yourself, cuddle some animals and please, keep fighting!

JANUARY DIRECT ACTION ROUND UP.

January has been a colourful month and really not the standard we are used to. This month there were no reports related to flesh/eggs/dairy industry, but activists around the world targeted hunting, entertainment, vivisection, the pet industry as well as a known animal abuser that had stabbed a horse to death. A total of 9 reports were received by Unoffensive Animal this month.

By country, these are the numbers of direct actions reported:

ITALY: 3
FRANCE: 2
USA: 1
UK:1
SWEDEN: 1
IRELAND: 1

The north of Italy ALF kept kicking hard as always, visiting three different hunting locations and destroying towers, traps and decoy cages. France’s second report of the year hit national news, with multiple press offices reaching out for comment. We can’t comment because we didn’t do it, so you don’t need to ask!

The UK saw the only reported liberation of the year, targeting the pet industry and rescuing guinea pigs.

Ireland was a bit of a misfit and we were not entirely sure where to categorise “threats to a convicted pedophile and horse stabber”, but nevertheless the Animal Rights Militia reported the action which seemed backed by the local press.

That’s all for January!

CONVICTED PEDOPHILE AND HORSE STABBER MARK MCGURK IS VISITED BY THE ARM AND URGED TO LEAVE TOWN.

10th December, Ireland.

Received anonymously via email:

“On the 10th December 2024, ARM Volunteers visited the residence of convicted paedophile and horse stabber, Mark McGurk, to inform him that he had 48 hours to vacate the property.

McGurk filmed himself stabbing a friend’s horse to death, which he later around social media. This was a revenge act, carried out Harry Evans’ horse, who is also a convicted foxhunting paedophile. 

Our volunteers understand that the local community, as well as the animals, deserve to be protected from such wicked filth. 

Upon gaining entry, Mr. McGurk was made to sit down in his living room, whilst an armed volunteer guarded the door. Mr. McGurk was not harmed but was given a warning that his behaviour is not wanted in Beragh village and that he must leave the area as soon as possible. 

Whilst Mr. McGurk was receiving this news, he visibly urinated himself and at one point appeared to faint. Our volunteers ensured that he was awake and aware of what was going on and left quietly, rejecting his pleas and offers of cash. 

Mark McGurk is a convicted child rapist and animal abuser – who decided to continue trading horses despite being banned from keeping them for seven years. The twisted pervert was best friends with the late Jonathan Creswell, a sick foxhunting psychopath who murdered young equestrian, Katie Simpson. 

Despite Mr. McGurk claiming that he refuses to leave Bernagh, our volunteers are confident that he no longer sleeps at the property, and goes in and out during the daytime. 

Having liaised with community activists, the matter is now in their hands and they will deal with him accordingly. 

Our threat, along with the separate threat from community activists, remains in place and we strongly encourage Mr. McGurk to permanently vacate both Bernagh and Planet Earth.”

UPDATE ON THE CARA&CELESTE FUNDRAISER.

Cara and Celeste were arrested and accused of raiding a mink farm in the USA. Luckily after some legal pressure, their bail was lowered and they were able to be on the streets again awaiting trial, but the legal fees associated will be serious. PhillyABC launched a fundraiser so we decided to put together a team of artists (thank you, you four are amazing!) to sell some t-shirts and prints to raise funds for them! 



After having sent all the tees and prints we can confirm that your donations have made a difference, we sent 2200 USD to the fundraiser thanks to all of your generosity.

Thank you again for getting behind the initiative and supporting the cause. It is thanks to you all that we can keep going with the project and we would love to organise similar fundraisers in the future if people think they are a good idea. 



For anyone who missed the tee/print fundraiser, we still have a few prints left on our website, but please, consider donating directly to the fundraiser that Philly ABC is running, the goal is 75K and we are still well far from it!

Thank you again.

SOLIDARITY ALWAYS!

THE ALF DESTROYS MORE THAN 30 NUTRIA CAGES.

26th January, North Italy.

Received anonymously via email:

ENGLISH (translation):

“For an A.L.F. activist, there is no more beautiful sound than the sound a cage makes when it shatters underfoot.

On January 25, 2025 we received a report of the presence of trap cages placed by the criminal human to catch and kill nutria.
On the 26th morning we promptly took action and destroyed more than 30 cages, some of them still stained with the blood of poor animals previously caught and killed.
The human is NOT superior to ANYONE and has NO right to take the lives of other living things.
The Struggle continues.
Get out, Liberate, Destroy.
A.L.F.”

ITALIAN (original):

“Per un A.L.F. non esite suono piu’ bello di quello che fa una gabbia quando si distrugge sotto i piedi.

Il 25 gennaio 2025 abbiamo ricevuto una segnalazione della presenza di gabbie trappola posizionate dall’umano criminale per catturare e uccidere nutrie.
Il 26 mattina siamo prontamente intervenuti e abbiamo distrutto piu’ di 30 gabbie, alcune delle quali ancora sporche del sangue di poveri animali precedentemente catturati e uccisi.
L’umano NON e’ superiore a NESSUNO e non ha NESSUN diritto di togliere la vita ad altri esseri viventi.
La Lotta continua.
Esci, Libera, Distruggi.

LEONARD PELTIER GRANTED CLEMENCY

Longtime political prisoner Leonard Peltier was granted clemency on January 20. Leonard will be able to spent the rest of his life sentence from his home, starting on February 18.

Leonard Peltier was arrested for a shootout in June 1975 on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, in which two FBI agents were shot and killed. Although there is no evidence against him, and his two co-defendants were acquitted before his trial started, Peltier was convicted in 1977 by a racist court hand-picked by the FBI to get a guilty verdict. Other government misconduct during Peltier’s trial included coercion of witnesses, intentional use of false testimonies, hiding ballistics evidence, and manufacturing a murder weapon. Despite all of this, Peltier has been consistently denied requests for a new trial. Instead, Peltier has spent almost 50 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. Today, Leonard is 80 years old, and he suffers from several health problems. On January 20, the outgoing Biden administration granted Leonard clemency, and he will be released from prison on February 18.

Over the years, many people and organizations have fought for Leonard’s release and freedom. We are now happy to hear of Leonard’s clemency and to know that he will finally be able to spend time with his family and friends, outside of prison walls.

”It’s finally over – I’m going home…”, Leonard said, in a statement released by the NDN Collective.

ACTIVISTS DESTROY 22 HUNTING TOWERS, AGAIN.

10th January, Yonne France.

Received anonymously via email:

“ENGLISH
During the second week of January 2025, in the North-East of France (Yonne), we destroyed 22 hunting towers in one night. Located on three different sites, some of these structures had already been destroyed a few months earlier. Hunting towers help hunters of Yonne to kill innocent people: they hide the hunters, enable them to shoot safely and prevent animals from fighting back. However, all it takes is a few saws to destroy them. So if you see similar structures in your area, put on your masks and take action.

We hope these actions will make it easier for our forest-dwelling comrades (wild boars, deers, birds, etc.) to escape their murderers.

PS: Hunters, you can rebuild them, we will come back.

FRENCH

Durant la deuxième semaine de Janvier 2025, dans le Nord-Est de la France (Yonne), nous avons détruit 22 miradors en une nuit. Situés sur trois différents sites, certaines de ces structures avaient déjà été détruites quelques mois auparavant. Les miradors aident les chasseurs de l’Yonne à tuer des personnes innocentes : ils dissimulent les chasseurs, leur permettent de tirer avec davantage de sécurité et empêchent les animaux de contre-attaquer. Cependant, il suffit de quelques repérages et de scies pour les abattre. Alors si vous voyez des structures similaires près de chez vous, mettez vos masques et passez à l’action.

Nous espérons que ces actions permettront à nos camarades vivant dans la forêt (sangliers, cerfs, oiseaux, etc) d’échapper plus aisément à leurs meurtriers.

PS : Chasseurs, vous pouvez les reconstruire, nous repasserons.”

CASO SUSARON STATEMENT, DECEMBER 2024

Below is a translation of two of the prisoners from Caso Susaron, translated from spanish:

We hope that our first words represent a push of strength for those who are doubting whether the value of their beautiful actions and their consequences make sense or not.

Two years and almost two months after our captivity, we continue to reaffirm that the path of war and confrontation, with all its bitterness and misfortunes, continues to be the only dignified way of life that we understand as valid.

UPDATE:
In recent months there have been several developments in our case.
Comrade Ru was sentenced to 5 years in prison, with the prosecution and the court denying the possibility of a supervised release on the grounds that he is a danger to society, with no intention of reinsertion.

At the same hearing, happily, comrade Tortuga was released to the street. Sentenced to 5 years of tagged probation, joining comrade Ita.

After some appeals that evidently failed, comrade Ru was transferred to the ex-penitentiary.

This transfer was carried out by the gendarmerie in violation of a court order that the comrade could not be moved until a report on the feasibility of transfer to La Colina was issued.

The comrade was received with open arms by the nihilist prisoner Hector Herrera, in 3C Street. In the overcrowding and discomfort that is lived in those facilities.

Days later, without any warning and with an absolutely arbitrary criterion, they transferred comrade Panda without warning from La Colina, where he was already settled after months serving his sentence, to the ex-penitentiary.

The report delivered by the gendarmerie justified the transfer of the comrade on the grounds that he would be a negative leader, a danger to the internal regiment of La Colina and that this prison would not have sufficient security to prevent a possible escape.

The next day, Panda is received by Ru and Hector in 3C Street.

We call to participate in all instances of solidarity. Since this new process requires a greater expense in parcels and in managing the intrapenitentiary benefits, meaning a great economic blow for family, friends and relatives.

To close this message: we are still here. Loving our successes and our mistakes, without regrets or hesitation. Clear that no trick of gendarmerie to hit our spirit will generate that we do not smile looking at the facts that led us to this place lost in time.

Today more than ever animal and total liberation! Veganism is war! Fire to existence!

SPANISH (original):

Buscamos que el inicio de estas palabras representen un vendaval de fuerza para quienes están dudando sobre si el valor de sus hermosas acciones y sus consecuencias tienen sentido o no.

A dos años y casi dos meses de nuestro cautiverio, seguimos reafirmando que el camino de guerra y confrontación, con todos sus amargores y desventuras, sigue siendo la única forma de vida digna que comprendemos como valida.

actualizacion:
En los últimos meses son varias las situaciones en nuestro caso.
El compañero Ru fue condenado a 5 años de cumplimiento efectivo, con la fiscalía y el juzgado negando la posibilidad de una Liberata vigilada por considerarle un peligro para la sociedad, sin proyección de reinserción.

En la misma audiencia, alegremente, el compañero Tortuga se fue a la calle. Condenado a 5 años de libertad vigilada, uniéndoselas a la compañera Ita.

Despise de algulas instancias apelatorias que evidentemente fallero, el compañero Ru fue trasladado a la ex-penitenciaria.

Este traslado fue realizado por gendarmería incumpliendo un oficio del tribunal que ordenaba que el compañero no podia ser movido hasta que se emitiera un informe de factibilidad de traslado a La Colina.

Al comparer lo recibió el preso nihilista Hector Herrera con los brazos abiertos, en la calle 3C. En el hacinamiento e incomodidad que se vive en esas instalaciones.

Dias después, sin ningún aviso y con un criterio absolutamente arbitrario, trasladaron al compañero Panda de manera sorpresiva desde La Colina, donde ya estaba instalado hace meses cumpliendo su respectiva condena, hacia la ex-penitenciaria.

El informe entregado por gendarmería justifica el traslado del compañero en que este seria un líder negativo, un peligro para el regiment interno de La Colina y que esta cárcel no contaría con la seguridad suficiente para evitar una posible fuga.

Al otro día de su traslado, Panda es recibido por Ru y Hector en la calle 3C.

Hacemos un llamado a participar en todas las instancias de solidaridad. Ya que este nuevo proceso requiere un mayor gasto en encomienda y en gestionar los beneficios intrapenitenciarios, significando un gran golpe económico para familiares, amigos y afines.

Para cerrar este mensaje es que mandamos a decir que acá seguimos. Amando nuestros aciertos y nuestros errores, sin arrepentimientos ni titubeos. Claros de que ninguna artimaña de gendarmería para golpear nuestro espíritu generara que no sonriamos mirando los hechos que nos condujeron a este lugar perdido en el tiempo.

!Hoy mas que nunca liberación animal y total! !Veganismo es guerra! !Fuego a la existencia!

HUNTERS SUFFER A TARGETTED DIRECT ACTION CAMPAIGN

9th January, France

VIA: Attaque (from local press)

ENGLISH (translation):

“Étupes hunters are fed up! Since September, their personal vehicles have been the target of several acts of vandalism: flat tires, scratched bodywork… Every three or four weeks, while they are hunting game, a new act of vandalism takes place in front of the hunting lodge where members of the AICA Étupes Taillecourt fusion park. “We don’t understand who could have a grudge against us,” says Eric Ajoux, president of the AICA Étupescourt fusion. says Eric Ajoux, president of the association.

Every month, between five and six cars fall victim to punctures of one or more tires. “The tires are pierced on the sidewall by a knife blade. I’ve already had to pay over 600 euros to repair my car this year. It’s just not possible! says a disillusioned Eric Ajoux.

Some members of this hunting club no longer dare to come hunting for fear of seeing their cars damaged. “What’s it going to be tomorrow, broken windscreens, a car on fire? asks Eric Ajoux. Especially as it’s always the same cars that are targeted. Philippe is also one of the victims. “Both my rear tires were punctured on a Sunday, so I couldn’t get to the garage, plus my door was scratched. I was really angry. If it goes on like this, I’ll end up not coming here any more”, he admits. he admits.

The Etupes hunting association is suspicious of certain individuals.“We think it’s someone from the commune, since we’re the only hunting association in the area to be attacked”, thinks Eric Ajoux.thinks Eric Ajoux.Between 6 and 7 complaints have been lodged with the gendarmerie by hunters who have suffered damage.”

FRENCH (Original):

“Les chasseurs d’Étupes en ont ras-le-bol ! Depuis le mois de septembre, leurs véhicules personnels sont la cible de plusieurs dégradations : pneus crevés, carrosseries rayées… Toutes les trois ou quatre semaines, pendant qu’ils chassent le gibier, un nouvel acte de vandalisme a lieu devant le chalet de chasse où se stationnent les adhérents de l’AICA Étupes Taillecourt fusion. « Nous ne comprenons pas qui peut bien nous en vouloir, nous avons de bonnes relations avec tout le monde, les randonneurs, la mairie, les riverains …« , affirme Eric Ajoux, président de l’association.

Entre cinq et six voitures, sont victimes, chaque mois, de crevaisons d’un ou plusieurs pneus. « Les pneus sont percés sur le flan par une lame de couteau. J’ai déjà eu plus de 600 euros de réparations sur mon véhicule cette année. Ce n’est pas possible« , lâche, Eric Ajoux, désabusé.

Des adhérents de cette société de chasse n’osent plus venir chasser par peur de voir leurs voitures dégradées. « Demain, ça sera quoi, des pare-brises de cassés, une voiture en feu ?« , s’interroge, Eric Ajoux. D’autant plus que ce sont toujours les mêmes voitures de ciblées. Philippe, est également une des victimes. « Mes deux pneus arrière ont été percés, un dimanche donc impossible d’aller au garage et en plus ma portière a été rayée. J’étais en colère. Si ça continue, je finirai par ne plus venir« , avoue-t-il.

La société de chasse d’Étupes à des soupçons sur certaines personnes. « Nous pensons que c’est quelqu’un de la commune puisque nous sommes la seule association de chasse du coin à être attaquée.« , pense, Eric Ajoux. Entre 6 et 7 plaintes ont été déposées à la gendarmerie par les chasseurs victimes de dégradations.”
