CALL FOR SOLIDARITY WITH TWO GREEK ANTI-HUNTING ACTIVISTS IN COURT.

In 2018 on the Greek island of Evia two individuals confronted a hunter as he attempted to murder free-living animals. They took his gun and threw it away, and were later arrested by multiple police officers not far from the scene. They were charged with robbery, which is a felony, despite the motive clearly not being to steal the weapon that was found in the woods.

Since the arrest, both the local and national hunting associations have unsurprisingly taken a great interest in the case. The hunting association of Greece (D’KCSE) has frequently attacked the anti hunting activists in the press and is even paying the legal costs for their prosecution.

The trial is set for this month, 26th of May 2022 and there has been a call for folks to show solidarity “in any way you like”. Since the call for solidarity there have been demonstrations, banner drops and the hunting association of Athens was spray painted.

In the words of the accused, “our attempt to protect an animal from being murdered, was an instinctive move that in our opinion should be the obvious thing for everyone.”

FOUR TURKEYS LIBERATED.

14th April, Shoby Poultry, Leicestershire UK.

received anonymously via email:

“In the early hours of Thursday 14th April a group of activists liberated 4 turkeys from their intensive factory farm.

Too long has this area in Leicestershire remained untouched and able to get away with their abuse, so in the early hours a plan was formulated to enter one of their many farms and start the liberation.

Let this be a warning to all animal abusers and factory farms around this area, we are here and we will not stop our efforts.

Until all are free ✊🏽🏴

SIXTEEN RAINBOW TROUTS LIBERATED

April, France

received anonymously via email:

“Liberation of 16 rainbow trouts

16 rainbow trouts obtained freedom on an April night. We were able to rescue them from their dirty pool where hundreds of them were surviving fattened to be eaten. We let them go in a river where they will finally be able to express their natural behaviors and be happy, alone or with chosen companions. We first made sure that they would be able to survive after being held in captivity and that they would no threaten the local free animals.

The fish are not commonly helped by direct actions, while there are so many of them exploited and killed. Fish farms and trawlers should be privileged targets as well.

Until everyone is free !”

BRISTOL BUTCHER SHOP SMASHED… AGAIN.

27th April, Bristol UK

Received anonymously via email:

“Bristol Butcher Bashing!
In the early hours of wednesday the 27th of april we visited sandy park butchers in Brislington,BRISTOL.

A attempt was made to smash both front windows. We know one shattered nicely but are unsure how badly the other was damaged. We had made a bit of noise and were feeling flighty so fucked off before we could tell if the second was damaged enough.

For animal liberation

ALF”

EDITOR’S NOTE: Sandy Park Butchers was targeted by the ALF in march last year. As the current report did not include any media, we have used the photo received in that report, that you can read here: https://unoffensiveanimal.is/2021/03/15/butcher-shop-window-smashed-2/

SIX HUNTING TOWERS VANDALIZED

April , Quebec, Canada.

received anonymously via email:

“After a 5 km walk, we take a break in the bush, impatient, waiting for the sun to set. Tonight, we are finally gonna knock down some hunting towers we had previously spotted from the road in the country.

We hope to send a clear message to the animal killers and inspire our anti-speciesist comrades to take action for the wild animals.

HELP RICHII KLINSMEISTER WITH A COURT FINE – PRISONER SUPPORT.

Richii is a Swedish activist who has faced the law a few times because of his work fighting for animal liberation. Two years ago, during a demo at a fur farmer’s house in Falkenberg, Richii used the megaphone’s alarm sound. A journalist who was present at the demo claimed that it damaged their hearing (the press has been dealing a lot of low blows against activists in Sweden), and took him to court.

In court, he was trialed for the megaphone sound but also for a trespass action inside the fur farm. He was found guilty and ordered to pay fines, which the Swedish activists managed to raise funds for. Sadly, the fundraiser did not cover the court costs and they are in immediate need of funds to pay for them before the deadline, which is is approaching rapidly. He owes the courts 9000SEK which is about 870 EUR (720 GBP / 910 USD).

If anyone is able to donate it would be highly appreciated. Send Richii and the activists at Djurfront all your love and solidarity and share far and wide so we can all fundraise enough to cover the costs!

The best donation method is PayPal, you can send some coins to: paypal.me/DjurfrontSE

SOLIDARITY IS OUR BIGGEST WEAPON!

STRING OF ARSON ATTACKS ON HUNTING INFRASTRUCTURE

February/March, Bavaria Germany.

According to local press, a string of arsons against hunting infrastructure is being investigated. The people involved have targetted multiple different counties and have burn hunting towers, hunting lodges, body disposal bins and other hunting infrastructure, totaling a huge 20,000 EUR worth of damage in between February and March 2022.

The police is begging for clues about any of the multiple arson cases as they are unaware of any details besides the date and location something was burnt.
