“For weeks we saw the dairy advertising of aldi promoting organic dairy products. Those selling animal products never tell the truth about the products and about how the industry works. So we do.
Armed with spraycans, we went out in an icecold december night.
The billboard said: ” organic that goes further” We corrected it to: “Organic that further exploits” Under the slogan we wrote: “Cows milk is for calves not humans”
On one side wall where everyone that enters the supermarket sees it we wrote: “For (organic) dairy , cows are shiverring inside a slaughterhouse. Live vegan! “
Dairy always means exploitation and murder of innocent, beautiful beings. Organic dairy still means slavery and murder.
We have to stop the brainwashing with which the industry tries to establish a good image for animal abuse products.
Until all calves can grow up with their mother and can experience love and freedom.
“The countryside is littered with farms, most of them easily accessible. We’d scouted this place a few night before and knew the layout. We crept past the farmers house, with the lights still on, and headed quickly to the chicken sheds. Thousands of laying hens in tiny metal cages locked away from fresh air, daylight and grass. It doesn’t take much to help.
We took as many as we had homes for and, carrying a heavy load, walked back past their abusers house towards a better life.
We dedicate this action to Marius Mason and everyone locked up.
Keep your nights busy until every cage is empty and broken.”
“We entered a local pig breeding farm. We saw the mother sows and the piglets in the typical farrowing crates. We just came to liberate, so we quickly grabbed two piglets and put them in our transportation boxes. Befor leaving, we noticed one very small piglet, lying far away from the mother. It had several bruses and looked seriously ill. The other piglets just ran over it and it wasnt able to get up and get to the mother sow. We knew it would die very soon if we just leave it there, so we left the farm with three piglets.
At home we took care of them immediatly and we took the ill one to the vet. But despite of our effort, it died in our home after one week fighting for its life. Fortunately the other two piglets were coming alive and really enjoyed their new freedom.
We found a new permanent home for them and to our surprise the new home offered a place to stay for another two pigs. So we prepared the next liberation. During a night, at the same farm, we liberated another two piglets. One should never liberate just one pig, because pigs are very social animals that form friendships and need social engaging. At home, the new piglets were very afraid at first. They never experienced one drop of human kindness. It took a while until they started explore their new temporary home. But after about one hour both fell asleep, cuddling on our laps. The next morning we brought all four piglets to their new permanent home.
They really gained a special place in our hearts. They loved cuddling and really are very individual, social sentient beings. The exploitation and murder of such beings must stop. NOW.
The people that hurt them will learn the same fear the animals suffer.
The piglet that died really touched our hearts and we will do everything to get its brothers and sisters out of this evil industry.
In the month of January, we’ve received 12 reports of direct action for animal liberation. Most of the actions were sabotages (either of animal abusing shops or of hunting infrastructure) but there were four liberation actions and an arsonn too. By country, this were the numbers of actions reported this month:
Lots of non animal related actions were reported online in memory of Tortuguita, who was murdered a year ago. You can read those reports on Scenes from the Atlanta Forest.
On the prisoner support corner, Ladislav Kuc is finally free (and needs economic support, please donate on the fundraiser), Marius Mason celebrated his 62 birthday, and three people are calling for court support during their sentencing on an animal lib related court case (2nd Feb, Reading UK).
Of course, you can read the complete articles and anonymous reports on our website if you want more info! If you appreciate the work that Unoffensive Animal does, we could do with support to pay for website hosting, serves and so on, as well as to support prisoners and exprisoners.
“In the night we attacked and set fire to a hunting cabin. Animals slaughtered every day, every hour, every minute, every second cry out for revenge. Revenge it is. The Wolf Brigade. A.L.F.”
ITALIAN (original):
“Nella notte abbiamo attaccato e incendiato una struttura utilizzata per la caccia. Gli Animali massacrati ogni giorno, ogni ora, ogni minuto, ogni secondo gridano vendetta. Vendetta sia. La Brigata Dei Lupi. A.L.F.”
“Red paint tossed on fur store along with message “Fur is murder”.
Within a short period, a fur store in Denmark has been hit twice by activists tossing red paint and spraying/writing “fur is murder” on their wall.
It’s easy to make it difficult for animal abusers to profit of abuse and murder. Do everything and anything you can to disrupt their businesses and cause them economic damage.
‘”We were in the dark, light never came in even during the day, we were without water, in the dirt. The space was too small for us 6 roosters, 3 chickens and 3 pigeons and we often fought with each other to the point of hurting each other.
One day, in the middle of the night, someone came in, we were so afraid because we knew we were there waiting for death and we thought our time had come. We tried to run away but they caught us.
We were confused because their hands were giving off heat, their voices were urging us to be quiet and they were talking about something called freedom.
Then we made a long journey, we continued to be afraid because experience had taught us not to trust these two-legged animals but our instincts suggested that something extraordinary was about to happen, even if we didn’t want to believe it.
And then…we discovered that there is soft ground called grass, breathed fresh air, admired the blue sky and felt the warmth of the sun.
We met many friends who told us that they were not there waiting for death but to live their lives into old age.
We received care and respect.
From this experience we discovered that there are two-legged animals who do not consider us food or objects to be exploited but individuals who want to live and be free like anyone else. We now know that those hands that took us belong to those who dedicate their lives to animal liberation from all forms of abuse.
With sorrow we always turn our thoughts to our innocent brothers and sisters still imprisoned but our liberators have told us they will continue until cage is empty and we know they will keep their promise.”
We will never regret anything but every animal we could not free.
A.L.F ♥’
ITALIAN (original):
“Eravamo al buio, la luce non entrava mai nemmeno di giorno, eravamo senza acqua, nello sporco. Lo spazio era troppo piccolo per noi 6 galli, 3 galline e 3 piccioni e spesso litigavamo tra noi al punto di ferirci reciprocamente.
Un giorno, nel cuore della notte, qualcuno è entrato, avevamo tanta paura perché sapevamo di essere lì in attesa della morte e pensavamo fosse arrivato il nostro momento. Abbiamo cercato di scappare ma ci hanno presi.
Eravamo confusi perché le loro mani emanavano calore, le loro voci ci esortavano a stare tranquilli e parlavano di qualcosa chiamata libertà.
Poi abbiamo fatto un lungo viaggio, continuavamo a nutrire timore perché l’esperienza ci ha insegnato a non fidarci di questi animali a due zampe ma il nostro istinto ci suggeriva che stava per succedere qualcosa di straordinario, anche se non volevamo crederci.
E poi…abbiamo scoperto che esiste un terreno soffice chiamato erba, respirato aria fresca, ammirato il cielo azzurro e sentito il calore del sole.
Abbiamo conosciuto tanti amici che ci hanno raccontato che non erano lì in attesa della morte ma per vivere le proprie vite fino alla vecchiaia.
Abbiamo ricevuto cure e rispetto.
Da questa esperienza abbiamo scoperto che esistono animali a due zampe che non ci considerano cibo o oggetti da sfruttare ma individui che vogliono vivere ed essere liberi come chiunque altro. Ora sappiamo che quelle mani che ci hanno presi appartengono a chi dedica la propria vita alla liberazione animale da ogni forma di sopruso.
Con dolore rivolgiamo sempre un pensiero ai nostri fratelli innocenti ancora imprigionati ma i nostri liberatori ci hanno detto che continueranno until cage is empty e noi sappiamo che manterranno la loro promessa”
Non ci pentiremo mai di niente ma solo di ogni animale che non abbiamo potuto liberare.

WHAT: Mass protest camp for climate justice. WHEN: 8th-13th August 2024. WHERE: UK
Reclaim the Power has sent us a call to join their action camp in august this year fighting back against Drax, a company chopping woods and burning trees under the disguise of bio fuel who is also the single largest carbon emitter in the UK. Read their words below: “Reclaim the Power Action Camp 8-13th August
Reclaim the Power is back this summer with a mass protest camp for climate justice. As a decade old direct action network we will welcome new faces and old to a mass action camp targeting Drax – the biggest emitter in the UK, the world’s biggest burner of trees and a key driver of environmental racism.
Join hundreds (hopefully thousands) of others from across the country and further afield for six days of workshops, communal living and action to fight the greenwashing eco-genocide of Drax. We will be camping from the 8-13th of August and attendance is entirely free, supported by donations.
Want to help organise with us? Come to the next gathering – a two day space to make decisions, get to know people and learn new skills. Gatherings are for everyone: new faces and those around since the Drax train hijack of 2008.
There will be a crash space, childcare, cheap and vegan food, and it will be wheelchair accessible.
Our next gathering will be on the 24th and 25th of February in York.
