23rd March, Utah USA.

According to local press, a farm in Utah was attacked by unknown activists, who destroyed equipment and machinery as well as slashing 14 tyres, leaving a 35k dollars trail of destruction. The graffiti left on scene read ‘Meat is Murder’ and ‘ALF’.

Owner of the farm Ranon Reber said “They drilled a bunch of holes through all the tires and knocked off all the valve stems, just being destructive.” [ … ] “It doesn’t make any sense, if anything, we’re actually making food for the animals. I mean, it’s obvious they don’t know what they’re doing.” According to his wife, activists drilled holes on tyres as well as knocking off air valves.

Police is asking for information regarding the incident and farming lobby groups are offering a 10k USD reward for information about the action.

long run the fox!

“Paris’s Region pork industry has a dark future ahead

On the night of the 4th of April, a well meant anti specist group set fire to a bunch (15-ish) of refrigerated trucks belonging to the Paris Terroir’s slaugtherhouse (formerly know as Guy Harang) in Houdan.

Targeting the logistics behind animal trade is targeting the inner workings of specism and capitalism. Pigs, like all the other animals, do not want to participate in this morbid society !

Fire to the slaughterhouses, end to all opressions !

“Inspired by the liberation of dogs bred for research in the US, but tired of dreaming of ‘the big one’, I decided to take action.

While friends were socialising, I painted two billboards in Southampton advertising a local zoo with ‘ZOO = PRISON’. I know this was a small act, but this was my first direct action for animal liberation. It won’t be my last.

MBR Acres and factory farms across the UK won’t empty themselves through dreaming. We owe it to the animals to build the skills and confidence we need to do it ourselves. That starts with some paint, a glued lock, a broken window… Get out there, and good luck.”

“JBT Marel, Birmingham UK. March 22nd.

This company was targeted for their production of gas chambers in which pigs are tortured in their MILLIONS every single day or as they like to call them “CO2-group stunning systems”.

Their locks were also glued up…. I was just leaving and realised their nice cream wall could do with some colour so “EVIL CUNTS” was also spray painted on (not pictured).”

“A little excursion into the heart of the Cheshire countryside monitoring wildlife habitat turned into a productive life saving mission.

Our little friends underground, the moles who do so much unnoticed work and do so much for the eco system are  targeted by the murderous cowardly farmers who exploit and oppress so many already. 

 Not content with just torturing so many non human animals we share the world with on the land, they turn to torturing those below ground who hurt nobody and go about their life peacefully. 

So when their plastic markers were spotted in the quiet countryside, appropriate action had to be taken.

The evil death traps were swiftly removed and dealt with accordingly so they can do no more harm.

Fck you, murderous farmers.

Where there is torture we will come looking and make it stop. 

This doesn’t end until all are liberated, free and have autonomy.

This is dedicated to all those who liberate the exploited and oppressed, past and present. 

Direct action saves lives.”

“Enslaved egg laying hens liberated from an industrial scale mega farm.

Before even getting to the site, activists could smell the stench of ammonia in the air. Once inside the sheds, the number of birds was overwhelming, endless rows of hens packed in together. Many were riddled with tumours and scabs from pecking, visibly underweight and malnourished, their bodies worn down by constant egg laying. Despite being labelled “free range”, this was nothing more than an industrial scale mega unit housing thousands of birds, with pop holes that are never opened and hens kept indoors for their entire lives. The “free range” label exists on paper only, giving the public a comforting image that bears no resemblance to reality.

Dozens of hens were taken to safety. For the first time in their lives, they will feel the sun on their bodies, experience life without confinement, and live free from manipulation, exploitation, and oppression.”

ENGLISH (translation):

“We would like to start by dedicating this action in memory of Emilia Baucis, antispeciesist activist and anarchist.

Our rage is love, it is fire and it does not fear what might happen. Seeing animals in transport trucks, headed for slaughter, hurts us massively. That is why today we tried to save at least one life from a slaughterhouse truck. We managed, it is one life, one free individual.

A person who’s destiny has changed, someone who won’t have their throat slit, now she will live the rest of her life in freedom with other chickens.

VEGANISM IS WAR.

BREAK THE CAGE, TAKE A CHICKEN, AND RUN!!!

ALL OTHER ANIMALS DO NOT HAVE MORE TIME!!!”

SPANISH (original):

“Queremos empezar dedicando esta liberación a la memoria de Emilia Baucis, Activista Antiespecista y Anárquica.

Nuestra rabia es amor, es fuego y no tiene más miedo a lo que pueda pasar, ver a los demás animales en camiones jaulas camino a su muerte nos lastima mucho, por eso hoy intentamos al menos salvar una vida de un camión de gallinas ponedoras. Tuvimos éxito, es una vida, un individuo libre.
Una persona a la cuel se le cambio el destino, el cual no será ser degollada, ahora vivirá el resto de su vida en libertad con otras de su especie.”

VEGANISMO ES GUERRA
ROMPE LA JAULA, TOMA UNA GALLINA Y CORRE!!!

LXS DEMAS ANIMALES NO TIENEN MÁS TIEMPO!!!

‘ “Zoom”, the zoo settled in Torino: an open-air prison.

In the past days we affixed many posters reminiscent of those with which Zoom filled the city, to sanction it and made people aware. Zoom tries to sell people the idea that they’re better than other zoos, using words like “animals well-being” and saying they respect nonhuman animals’ ecology. We know that many of the species detained are not endangered, and even if they all were it still sells tickets to let people watch nonhuman animals in a voyeuristic way that is stressful and objectifying. Zoom is, actually, another place of enslavement and exploitation of nonhuman animals, just like every other zoo.

Fuck all zoos, support animal sanctuaries.

Translation of the main words of the posters: -“If you really wanna save my specie why don’t you save forests?” -“They could give shelter to us without stressing us with photos, videos and people. They don’t do it.” -“I wanted to be born in a forest, not in a golden prison” ‘

“This global company was targeted for their manufacture and supply of animal abusing/exploiting/killing machinery.

This was my first action so unfortunately adrenaline got the better of me and I ended up making a spelling mistake, still I think they got the message, a lock was also glued up. “
