Carrie Litig had previously been visited by the ALF in 2005. Apparently he did not get the message about what happens to those who stay in this barbaric business, so last night we decided to remind him. We saw by his motion lights, cameras and electric fence that he had at least learned to be paranoid, but not paranoid enough. With a little recon, we were able to circumvent these defenses and make our way to the cages.

It is sickening to see such majestic wild animals reduced to a short life in a tiny cage, awaiting a certain and brutal death just to satisfy human greed. We would make sure that that greed would have a price. We ripped open the first cage, then the second and soon we could not stop, even as the brightening sky threatened to reveal us.

Many of the foxes were too scared to leave their cage, but periodically we would look back and notice one after the other had made its way to the ground and was searching for their way out. With the darkness all but gone, we reluctantly made our way to the damaged fence, but not before pocketing a couple dozen of the cards on the cages holding valuable genetic information.

We are far from satisfied with this action; we had to leave many animals behind, but we will be back. We are sure that Kerry Litig will have even more security measures in place next time, that is if he can afford them. He might spare himself some time and money if he read up on the history of the Animal Liberation Front and realized that security systems do not intimidate us. We will find a way in, we always do.

To all the vegans reading this: it’s your turn now! Pelting season is just 3 months away. How many foxes and mink will die in November and how many will live out their natural lives, is all up to you!

No excuses, you know what to do!

“Fuck your prison sheds, we will break in and break our comrades out. With a bellies full of rage for the ones left behind we carried half a dozen ducks to a better life. They will know care, respect and safety. We dedicate this action to comrade Alonso Verdejo, we never met you but through your actions we remember you. May historical memory bury those who condemn taking the offensive!”

Originally reported by NAALPO:

4th July, Ohio USA.

“In the spirit of July 4th, we decided the animals languishing on Tonn’s Mink Farm in Massillon, Ohio deserved their own independence day. The fireflies lit our path through the dark as we made our way to the fence, trusty wire-cutters in hand. We took our time with this part, cutting only the wire mesh and not the larger wires which we suspected could activate an alarm system.

Once we made it through and saw our first mink, we could not start opening cages fast enough. The mink quickly realized what was happening and started making no small amount of noise, unable to contain their excitement as they jumped from their prison cells. A quick lap around the surrounding sheds confirmed that their noise did not travel far at all.

We tore open cage after cage; after emptying several sheds, exhaustion had kicked in and we made our way back to the fence. A single mink was perched on top of it, just to the right of where we had torn it down, as if to say goodbye and reassure us that they would find their way out.

Now, reflecting on this action, all we can think about is how we cannot wait to do it again. Nothing that the cops, government or fur industry can threaten us with could ever come close to unsettling us as much as the possibility of one day having to look in the mirror and say “The animals needed me, they cried out for my help and I did nothing.”

Let us be clear: we are sending this communique for one reason alone. It isn’t to garner support or seek approval. Its not for likes or fire-emojis. This is a call to action! We needed only 2 things to accomplish what we did. Wire-cutters and a means of transportation, along with a will to act. Anyone has the same access to fur farms that we did; the animals are crying out for your help NOW! Stop thinking and doom-scrolling and act!

This action is dedicated to the Northumberland Two, Cara and Celeste. For every prisoner that they take, we will answer with the liberation of thousands!

[editor’s note: whilst there has been no claim of responsibility, photos from the scene show an ALF logo spray painted on one of the machines. This of course does not mean the ALF claimed it, but the indymedia writer did make an educated guess.]

“In early hours of 10th June 2025 the Animal Liberation Front carried out an attack on Slaughterhouse Plukon in Oosterblokker, Netherlands. 9 chicken transportation trucks and one van were completely burned down.

Factory manager Erlend Beltman reports to De Telegraaf (media) that he suspects arson and points to a freshly sprayed logo of the radical action group Animal Liberation Front (ALF) on the dumpster next to the fire.

The damage is estimated at more than 2 million euros. Plukon said they are investigating how they can restore logistics and limit the impact on their transportation and killing of chickens. At the time of the fire, the site was deserted.

According to the fire brigade, an explosion of the oxygen tanks could have led to a much larger “disaster”. Due to the smoke development and possible presence of harmful substances, the forensic police investigation couldn’t start until the next day.

In the past, activists have made pictures of the packed chickens inside the trucks in front of this slaughterhouse adressing the dreadful conditions of the chickens. Plukon and the organising action group claimed to work together?! The slaughterhouse tries to justify their beheading of 300.000 chickens each day, as a “transparent piece of the foodchain”.

More interesting information about the oxygen tanks (used for packaging):

According to the North Holland North Safety Region, immediate efforts were made to limit risks. There were tanks with liquid oxygen on the site. “Those oxygen tanks could have exploded and this oxygen could have acted as a large fire accelerant,” duty officer Ron Zuiderwijk told the Noordhollands Dagblad on Sunday morning.

In response to questions from Streekomroep West-Friesland, the Safety Region does not address the possible risk of explosion. “Although the distance from the trucks to the tanks with liquid oxygen was still quite large, keeping these tanks wet and cooling was given priority. Immediate efforts were also made to cool the façade of the building to prevent overtopping from the burning trucks. In addition, we kept trucks wet nearby to limit the damage as much as possible,” explains a spokesperson.

The tanks with liquid oxygen have a special design with all kinds of safety features to prevent them from collapsing, the spokesperson further explains. “Even under extreme conditions. Yet we do not take any risks in these kinds of incidents. In this case, this meant, among other things, that we actively cooled the oxygen tanks. Oxygen is not a flammable substance, but it strongly strengthens fire when it is released.”

All info is gathered from dutch media and we tried to write/paste everything objectively to not put any unwanted words onto the comrades carrying out the attack (there has not been a claim or communique found on the internet that refers to this specifc action). The police remains clueless, repeatedly asking neighbors to snitch if they saw or recorded something that night.
Spread the word, spread the fire.”

“A crowbar to the door and we were in. Our torches illuminated rows of caged hens cramped together. It stunk, there were no windows, these birds never get to see the sunlight. The whole barn was full of dust, shit and cobwebs, the air felt thick. This is the reality behind so many inconspicuous boxes of eggs.

We didn’t waste time and quickly opened a row of cages, filled our carriers and left. The chickens themselves took no time adjusting to their new home, walking on the ground instead of wire mesh, being able to move around and perch and spread their wings. They are filled with curiosity and can’t get enough snacks. We’ve been pumping them full of vitamins and minerals as everyone was deficient. This industry sees their bodies as disposable and the birds pay a high price for constantly laying eggs.

We think of all those we left behind and we promise to come back. We dedicate this action to Marius Mason and all long term anarchist prisoners. Solidarity knows no bounds. Until every cage is empty.”

“On Midsummer Night (21 June 2025), ALF visited hunters’ grounds in Espoo, Finland, and burned a hunting blind to the ground. While others celebrated the midsummer festivities, activists took gasoline and matches and created their own Midsummer bonfire out of the hunting blind. The flames roared high, and soon all that was left of the blind were its remains. Hunters in Finland are not safe from sabotage, whether on weekdays or holidays. There is no justification for the barbaric and senseless killing hunters engage in; this cruelty must come to an end. We will do everything we can to make their sick hobby more difficult now and in the future.”

“On the evening of 13 June, in Nea Paralia, Thessaloniki, we vandalized the car of the businessman George Galis, who owns a company that sells livestock equipment. This company, through its website, advertises upgraded and modern machinery that contributes to better conditions inside livestock farms.

For us, livestock farms are prisons in which hundreds of millions of animals around the world are forced to endure a lifetime with the sole aim of being exploited by humans for their milk or the eggs they produce and killed for their meat and skin. And all this to end up with the human consumer. Since we oppose confinement and prisons, we do not accept the improvement of their conditions, only their destruction. Thus everyone who in any way contributes to their preservation is co-responsible and is automatically our target. That is why we spray-painted slogans on the luxury car of this particular businessman, a Mercedes 300, worth around EUR 60 000.

The damage we have done may be minimal compared to the torture experienced by animals in confinement, but by increasing our attacks against torturers, exploiters and killers, we animal liberation activists around the world are sending the message that any act against defenseless creatures will not go unanswered and will have consequences until we tear down every farm and free all animals.

PS. One of the products sold by this company is the trap, a machine whose bars trap the animal’s head so that it eats its food motionless, which makes it a torture.

Το βράδυ στις 13 Ιουνίου, στην Νέα Παραλία Θεσ/νίκης, προχωρήσαμε σε βανδαλισμό του αυτοκινήτου του επιχειρηματία Γεωργίου Γαλή, ο οποίος κατέχει εταιρία που εμπορεύεται κτηνοτροφικό εξοπλισμό. Η εν λόγω επιχείρηση μέσω της ιστοσελίδας της, διαφημίζει τα αναβαθμισμένα και σύγχρονα μηχανήματα που συμβάλουν στις καλύτερες συνθήκες μέσα στις κτηνοτροφικές μονάδες.

Για εμάς τα εκτροφεία ζώων είναι φυλακές, στις οποίες εκατοντάδες εκατομμύρια ζώα σε όλο τον κόσμο, εξαναγκάζονται να υπομένουν μια ζωή με μόνο στόχο, την εκμετάλλευση από τους ανθρώπους, όσον αφορά το γάλα τους ή τα αυγά που παράγουν και τον θάνατο τους όσον αφορά το κρέας και το δέρμα τους. Και όλα αυτά για να καταλήξουν στον άνθρωπο -καταναλωτή. Από την στιγμή που εναντιωνόμαστε στον εγκλεισμό και στις φυλακές, δεν αποδεχόμαστε την καλυτέρευση των συνθήκων τους, πάρα μόνο την καταστροφή τους. Έτσι ο καθένας που με οποιονδήποτε τρόπο συμβάλει στην διατήρηση τους, είναι συνυπεύθυνος και αυτομάτως αποτελεί στόχο μας. Για αυτό και εμείς γράψαμε με σπρέι, συνθήματα πάνω στο πολυτελές αυτοκίνητο του συγκεκριμένου επιχειρηματία, ένα Mercedes 300, αξίας περίπου 60.000 ευρώ. Η ζημιά που κάναμε μπορεί να είναι το ελάχιστο μπροστά στα βασανιστήρια που βιώνουν τα έγκλειστα ζώα, αλλά πληθαίνοντας τις επιθέσεις μας απέναντι στους βασανιστές, εκμεταλλευτές και δολοφόνους, εμείς οι αγωνιστές της απελευθέρωσης των ζώων ανά τον κόσμο, στέλνουμε το μήνυμα ότι οποιαδήποτε πράξη ενάντια σε ανυπεράσπιστα πλάσματα, δεν θα μείνει αναπάντητη και θα έχει συνέπειες, μέχρι να γκρεμίσουμε το κάθε εκτροφείο και να απελευθερώσουμε όλα τα ζώα.

ΥΓ. Ένα από τα προϊόντα που πουλάει η συγκεκριμένη εταιρία, είναι και η παγίδα, ένα μηχάνημα που τα σίδερα του εγκλωβίζουν το κεφάλι του ζώου, ούτος ώστε να τρώει την τροφή του ακίνητο, κάτι που το καθιστά βασανιστήριο.

“When people think about eggs, most initially think of their breakfast or baking – a chickens egg is often euphemistically referred to as e.g. “breakfast egg”.

Laying hens are bred to produce nearly an egg a day – far beyond what their bodies would have naturally evolved to do. Their reproductive systems are pushed to the limit, their lives reduced to cramped, filthy cages or halls, often shared with tens of thousands of others. There is no daylight. The air is thick with dust and ammonia. Ventilation systems roar constantly. Many hens develop painful inflammations in their cloaca – organ where eggs pass through – and some simply collapse under the strain of production. These are not exceptions. They are routine and calculated in by the industry!

In the midst of this manufactured misery, seven animal rights activists in Germany stepped into action and entered an industrial egg facility under cover of darkness. Inside were roughly 40,000 hens, most of them silent, some featherless, almost all of them showing signs of sickness. From this bleak battery, the activists carried out 27 chickens, giving them a chance at a life that had been denied from birth.

Contrary to popular belief, chickens are intelligent, social beings who can remember many faces, form friendships, and show deep maternal care. Some hens even seek out affection, resting their heads against their companions.

One of the most persistent myths is that no animals die for eggs. Yet even before slaughter, around 6% of chickens in the industry die from illness, injury, or sheer exhaustion. Male chicks, unable to lay eggs, are often killed on their first day of life—by gassing or being ground up alive or -if the named two methods of killing male chicks are illegal in the country they were born in- chicken farms will ship them to different countries to kill them there.

Chickens could live up to ten years. But in the egg industry, most are killed after just 15 to 18 months, when their bodies are “spent”. Just by the time you’ve finished reading over 115,000 chickens have been slaughtered worldwide!

We are taught to see eggs as innocent, everyday food. But if we truly looked at where they come from, the system might resemble something closer to dystopian science fiction than a sunday breakfast.

Let’s start to de-normalize eggs as something that’s ours to use and work torwards a world where everybody can be free – no matter the body they’re born into.

We won’t stop fighting until every cage is empty!

Animal liberation now and everywhere!”
