ENGLISH (translation):

“There are nine of us hiding in the night, lying in wait. Our objective is crystal clear: we must get someone out of those cages—no matter what. On the way to the site (a farm for egg laying hens) we coordinate our roles; each person is vital and essential to achieving this act of animal liberation tonight.

We arrive in the dead of night, the lights in the sheds still on. As we finish cutting through the wire fencing, the lights go out. ‘GO! THIS IS OUR CHANCE!’ We wait a few moments, then slip inside—and there they are, terrified, surrounded by their own excrement and rats.

We begin opening the cages. The cool night air, the tall grass, and our dark clothing helped us reach them. We fill our bags and ensure the area is clear for our exit. Our companions are waiting by the fence, others in the cars; we load them up and leave, looking back at all those we couldn’t rescue today; but perhaps we will tomorrow, because this doesn’t end here.

This is a war against speciesism, a fight to liberate the slaves of an exploitative, murderous system.
Against all odds, and against all authority.
There is no veganism without animal liberation.

We dedicate this action to Nico Rucio (Susaron case); an anti-speciesist, anarcho-nihilist, straight-edge prisoner held within the territory occupied by the oppressive Chilean state.

Warm hugs, wishing for your swift and urgent release.”

SPANISH (original):

“Somos 9 personas merodeando en la noche, al acecho. Tenemos bien en claro el objetivo, sacar a alguien de las jaulas si o si, camino al lugar (una granja de gallinas ponedoras) nos ponemos de acuerdo en nuestros roles, cada unx es importante y fundamental para lograr esta noche la liberación animal.

Llegamos en plena madrugada y las luces de las naves estan prendidas, terminamos de cortar el alambre y se apagan, “VAMOS, ES NUESTRA OPORTUNIDAD” esperamos unos minutos y ya estamos adentro y ahí están ellas, temerosas y acompañadas por sus heces y las ratas.

Comenzamos a abrir las jaulas, la noche fresca, la hierva alta y nuestra ropa oscura nos ayudó a llegar hoy hasta ellas, llenamos los bolsos y nos aseguramos de que la zona sea segura para salir, nuestrxs companerxs nos esperan en el alambrado, otrxs dentro de los autos, las cargamos y nos vamos mirando atrás a todas esas que no pudimos sacar hoy, pero tal vez si mañana, porque esto no termina hoy.

Esta es una guerra contra el especismo, es liberar a lxs esclavxs de un sistema explotador y asesino.
Contra todo pronóstico y contra toda autoridad.
No hay veganismo sin liberación animal.

Queremos dedicar esta acción a Nico Rucio (Caso susaron) presx antiespecista-Anarco-nihilista straight edge en el territorio ocupado por el estado opresor chileno.
Un abrazo cómplice, pronta y urgente libertad”

“1,500 mink were liberated from the Hobbs Fur Farm at 331 Parkinson Road in Franklin, Idaho last night. The farm is operated by Jeff and Jill Hobbs.

The farm is one of less than 100 remaining fur farms operating in the United States.”

“On a full moon night 66 hens were helped to break free from a well known laying farm, famous in the area for its ‘free range’ practices.

Of course the reality is stinking sheds packed with hens deprived of anything a hen would need. There is no ethical farming if it involves animal exploitation!

The 66 are now safe in their new home.

We’ll come back for the others! Until every cage is empty”

“One of us had driven past and seen signs advertising ‘fresh eggs’, a few big barns were visible from the road further down. A few nights later once we’d lined up good homes we came back as a small group with carriers. We had brought a crowbar and some conveniently sized bolt cutters to assist us with entry but the doors weren’t locked, always check the doors. We were greeted by the standard sight of a filthy barn crammed with thousands of hens looking worse for wear. They were good as gold and stayed quiet on the walk back and seemed happy with their new temporary accommodation when we got them home.

We dedicate this action to the T&S rabbits, the ones that got out and the ones that didn’t. We send our greetings to every human that helped pave the way to their freedom. But the fight goes on until every cage is empty.”

“All across the UK, magpies are used as live bait in Larsen cages to trap and kill other magpies. The conditions of these majestic wild birds are horrendous – forced into a tiny wire cage filled with often multiple rotting bodies of other birds, no room to even stretch their wings. We happened to come across one in the countryside and released the imprisoned magpie and destroyed the cage. In solidarity with Des, and imprisoned vegan anarchist on turtle island.

For the wild!”

ENGLISH (translated):

“For politicians, the justice system and those who profit from animal life, there is a difference between an animal being killed in a slaughterhouse to sell its body and generate capital, or starving to death on farms — this represents a loss of invested capital.⁠
⁠
For us, every individual life has value, so we only have one chance, and we won’t waste it waiting for the justice system to decide. Nor shall we waste her begging for mercy and for her murderers to give us a life.⁠
⁠
And there we are, in broad daylight, in full view of some curious onlookers, cutting through the plastic to give them freedom, the freedom they have been denied since the moment they were born.⁠
⁠

We only care about each other so they can be free, because they only have us by their side to break the cage.⁠”

SPANISH (original):

“Para lxs políticxs, la justicia y quienes comercializan con la vida de lxs animales hay diferencias entre que un animal sea asesinadx dentro de un matadero para vender su cuerpo y generar el capital o que mueran por inanición en las granjas, eso es pérdida del capital invertido.

Para nosotrxs la vida de cada individuo vale, así que tenemos una sola oportunidad y no la vamos a perder esperando que la justicia decida.

Tampoco la vamos a desaprovechar pidiendo clemencia y que sus asesinos nos entreguen una vida.

Y ahí estamos a plena luz del día a la vista de algunxs curiosxs cortando el plástico para darles libertad, esa que se les nego apenas nacieron. Solo nos cuidamos entre nosotrxs para que ellxs sean libres, porque solo nos tienen a nosotrxs de su lado para romper la jaula”

“We believe that the structures of speciesism are vulnerable and accessible.

Last week, we – an anonymous group – went to a factory farm in France and helped 100 hens escape from it. A few hours later, the liberated hens were already running on the grass and petting each other.

Rage consumed us when we arrived at the barn. The sky was dark, and everything was silent except for their screams and talks inside.

We entered and took them out, as fast as we could. After that, the night didn’t have the same color. We could hear them talk in their transport cages but we knew that they were free from harm, at last.

And, of course, we still deeply think of the ones who are still inside. We will continue to fight so that, one day, everyone could be free and safe.

If you can, please go inside those places of oppression, open the cages and take them out. You will experience more rage, fear and hope that what you are probably used to but every second of it will be so worth it. Because when you go on with your daily life later, you will know that the people you helped escape are now free and safe.

Thank you to everyone who fight alongside other animals and good luck with your actions.”

Summer, Utah USA.

“On a hot summer morning at a Utah cage free farm, after some surveillance, we were able to identify entrances into the massive death prisons, but quickly realized numerous humans were nearby and entering our building of choice. We pivoted and moved to the furthest shed away and quickly entered. Upon entering, we found hundreds of chickens crammed together, some of them dead stuck underneath metal beams.

When grabbing these chickens, we expected to be met with fear and resistance. Instead we met 2 gentle birds who had seemingly given up on their lives, knowing nothing but suffering and pain. We like to imagine they both willingly got into my arms, knowing we were there to help bring them into a better world, but we think its far more likely that they felt they had nothing to struggle or fight for. They were docile and quiet towards us while being transported despite knowing nothing from humans but cruelty.

We say to those watching and listening, are you not horrified when you see the countless images of animal cruelty? Does your heart, when faced with the images of their torment, not also feel total repulsion and an obligation to act? Now is the time. All you need is an address, a vehicle, and the will to act. Right now there is an animal – whether that be a cow, pig, chicken, mink etc. that could be spared of these human evils and live lives of freedom and safety. They are counting on simple every day people like you and me to go outside of our comfort zones and to save their lives. We are not heroes. If it takes a hero to simply do the right thing when it is needed, then what is a hero? Our animal brothers and sisters needed us yesterday. Hear their cries, see their anguish, and let it guide you to their freedom. Do not let fear of capture guide your heart. Now is the time to liberate in whatever way you can. Now is the time.”

“The Animal Liberation Front claims responsibility for the liberation of nine mice from the University of New Orleans earlier this month.

On September 19, 2026, nine female mice (including four so-called “breeding females”) were loaded up and spirited away from a miserable, windowless cinderblock room on the 2nd floor of UNO’s Psychology Building to begin a new life in safety and comfort. All nine are being lovingly looked after and tended to. None were released into the wild.

The lab chosen was that of Christopher Harshaw, who subjects mice and rats to experiments that purportedly aim to study autism, body temperature regulation and social behavior. This includes injecting them with drugs (including acetaminophen to induce neurodevelopment disorders), shutting them into small lighted cabinets overnight, and putting poisonous chemicals into their water like aniline (known to cause blood disorders and spleen tumors in rodents).

Moreover, Christopher Harshaw and his research assistant Anna are personally responsible for the killing of hundreds of animals per year, sometimes as many as 30-50 in a single day, as noted in Harshaw’s “Euthanasia Log” notebook, which on a previous visit was removed, had its pages photocopied (along with other documents related to animal research) and then put back. His death tally: 323 in 2023 (rats and mice), 575 in 2024 (rats and mice, including one wild mouse caught in a live trap and killed on the premises), and 363 in 2025 (all mice). His method: gassing them to death with co2.

Extensive video was also taken documenting the decrepit conditions of the lab as well as Roberto Refinetti’s animal room full of cages formerly housing squirrels (empty at the time of filming).

As should be clear: the purpose of this action wasn’t to vandalize, nor was it mere opportunism. This was a carefully planned and orchestrated live liberation of mice from Chris Harshaw’s lab. Its only purpose was getting the animals to safety as quickly as possible, therefore no equipment was damaged and no messages left at the scene. The whole operation, from entering the building to exiting with the animals, took ten minutes.

It should also be noted: This action was carried out using a minimum number of tools (none) and a minimum number of personnel (one).

This proves not only that lab raids can still be completed in 2026 but that one person, working alone, can successfully accomplish them.

To Chris Harshaw: Accessing your lab was child’s play, and with the hammer and drill on site it would have been only too easy to decommission every piece of equipment you own. Consider this a warning. In the end you were shown more mercy than the animals you hold captive.

And a word to all you would-be liberators out there: These facilities are not the fortresses you think they are. They are not impregnable. In fact the animal abusers in white coats have become so secure in their belief that no one is watching that they sometimes don’t even bother locking their doors! Use this negligence to your advantage. And while they sleep, go and do your work.

THE LAB RAID IS BACK.

Nine go free…

Another victory for the animals,

ALF”
