“During the night between December 26 and 27, Animal Liberation Front cells carried out coordinated sabotage attacks against hunting structures and buildings in the Basque Country. Hunting posts and towers have been taken down and destroyed in Ermua, Eskoriatza, Mendiola, Pasaia, Peralta, Gares, Eunate, Erreniaga, Peralta, and Kinto. 25 towers were taken down in total, and even more posts were destroyed. Another building used by hunters has also been targeted.

We are not going to passively stand by and look elsewhere, while sentient beings are being oppressed, exploited or killed for the sole reason of belonging to another species. There are over 50000 hunting licences in the Basque Country, a single murder by each of those hunter would be an unacceptable massacre, but sadly the ammount of fatal victims caused by this murderers is much higher.

Speciesism creates thousands of deadly victims per second, to overcome this action is essential and urgent.

For those reasons we consider legitimate:
– Any form of protest or fight against the suffering we make non-human animals endure.
– The liberation of non-human animals from their confinement, offering them a new home, suitable for their needs.
– To carry out investigations so that everyone can see what we make non-humans go through.
– To boycott companies and institutions that protect, fund or engage in the oppression of non-human animals.
– To sabotage companies, institutions, tools and infrastructure that make it possible for this oppression to happen.

As long as this actions are carried out whithout causing any physical harm to any animal (human or not).

The goals of last night’s actions are:
– To reduce the number of animals murdered by hunters.
– To deal economic damage to hunters and their industry.
– To fight back against the injustice that non-human animals suffer.
– To show that the Basque Animal Liberation movement is growing stronger.
– To encourage Basque antispeciesists to take an active role in this struggle.

We hereby call all antispeciesists across the Basque Country to step up and take action, going vegan is not enough to end this oppression. If not you, who? If not now, when?

Finaly, we also want to give a shout out to all those who meet every week to conspire in favor of non-human animals, those who carry out investigations to show us what the non-humans have to experience, those who keep informing about our movement, and those who work in sanctuaries taking care of liberated non-humans. Thanks so much for your commitment, your work is essential, keep it up!

Until every cage is empty, every mouth is fed, every prison is a library, and everyone is free!

“Abenduak 26 eta 27 arteko gauean Animalien Askapen Frontearen izenpean batzen diren hainbat taldek ehiztarien eraikinak erasotu dituzte Euskal Herrian. Ehizarako erabiltzen diren dorre eta postuak bota dira Ermuan, Eskoriatzan, Mendiolan, Pasaian, Garesen, Eunaten, Erreniagan, Peraltan, eta Kintoan. Guzira 25 dorre bota dira, eta oraindik postu gehiago suntsitu. Eraikin bat ere erasotu da.

Ez gara pasiboki beste alde batera begira geratuko, beste espezie batekoa jaio izan soilagatik norbanako sentikorrak zapaltzen, esplotatzen edota hiltzen dituzten bitartean. Eukal Herrian 50000 baino ehiza lizentzia gehigo daude, horietako bakoitzak hilketa bakarra burutuko balu, hiltzaile hauek eragindako sarraskia onartezina izango litzateke, baina zoritxarrez biktima kopurua askoz handiagoa da.
Espezismoak milaka biktima ditu segunduro, eta honi aurre egiteko ekintza premiazkoa, eta ezinbestekoa da.

Arrazoi hauengatik legitimotzat jotzen dugu:
– Animaliei eragiten diegun sufrimenduaren aurkako edozein protesta edota borroka erreibindikatibo.
– Animaliei leku duin bat eskeiniz, euren gatibutasunetik askatzea.
– Animaliek bizi duten egoera zein den ikusarazteko ikerketak egitea.
– Animalien zapalkuntza babesten duten enpresa eta instituzioei boikota egitea.
– Animaliek zapaltzen dituzten, edo zapalkuntza hau babesten duten enpresa, instituzio, tresna, edo infraestrukturak saboteatzea.

Ekintza hauek beti animaliei (gizakiak ala ez) min fisikorik eragin gabe.

Bart gaueko ekintzarekin lortu nahi duguna da:
– Ehiztariek animalia gutxiago hiltzea.
– Ehiztariei eta ehizaren industriari kalte ekonomikoak eragitea.
– Animaliek sufritzen duten injustiziari erantzutea.
– Euskal Herriko mugimendu antiespezista sendotzen ari dela erakustea.
– Euskal antiespezistak borroka honetan parte aktiboa hartzera animatzea.

Beganoa izatea ez da nahikoa zapalkuntza honekin amaitzeko. Ez bazara zu, nor? Ez bada orain, noiz?

Amaitzeko, besarkada handi bat bidali nahi diegu astero gizakiak ez diren animalien alde konspiratzeko biltzen diren asanbladei, esplotatuen egoera erakusteko ikerketak egiten dituztenei, mugimenduaren berri ematen dutenei, eta animaliak zaintzen dituzten santutegiei. Eskerrik asko zuen konpromezuarengatik, zuen lana ezinbestekoa da, segi horrela!

Kaiola guztiak hutsik dauden arte, sabel guztiak janariz beteta, espetxe guztiak liburutegi bilakatu arte, eta denok aske izan arte!

“Västmanlands länsstyrelse (Västmanlands county administrative) have allowed hunting on two lynx next spring. There are very few lynx left in Sweden,
this only got allowed because of the amount of hunters that are politicians/manipulate politicians.

We glued 4 locks and covered one of the entrances with red paint.

We will attack them plenty of more times unless they change their minds.

“Tuesday, November 27, the day before the start of the course ‘introduction to research on genetically modified animals’ that took place at the official veterinary school in Madrid, the door of the building was glued, the facade and ground were painted, and posters against genetic research were pasted.
The State has been promoting these courses and this type of research for years where animals are tortured with the aim of applying these results to human life, thus being able to control all aspects of our life and the environment.
It is necessary to know the types of projects that are being promoted in order to confront the techno-scientific advance.

“The website of Syntex, one of the largest producers of pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG), was hacked and information about thousands of its customers leaked.

PMSG (also known as eCG, equine chorionic gonadotropin) is a hormone extracted from the blood of pregnant horses. The hormone is sold to pharmaceutical companies who manufacture PMSG-based drugs for the animal agriculture industry.

Thousands of horses suffer on “blood farms” operated by Syntex in Argentina and Uruguay.”

“As was already announced, the first coordinated statement from the ALF/ELF in Temuco, $hile. December 11, 2018, exactly 5 years since the death of Sebastián Oversluij in combat. This coordination is a minimal tribute to his memory.

On the night of December 11 our hearts and minds turned to another anniversary of the death in combat of our comrade ‘Angry’ as he was preparing to carry out a bank expropriation in the outskirts of Santiago. We still have the images of that morning recorded in our minds as well as the strange circumstances in which the assault itself took place.

We will not forget, but we do not want to just remember, we want to leave our mark wherever we go. And on this 11th we started a new journey.

We claim this propaganda and these actions in memory of compañero Sebastián Oversluij: Posters glued at rural bus stops. We hung a banner which read ‘ANIMAL LIBERATION “ANGRY” IS HERE’ in a base transceiver station (BTS) that destroys biodiversity. We tore signs for a Club de Huasos that was preparing to hold a shitty ‘juegos criollos’ day. We destroyed pine trees which cause droughts in the habitat where we were, thanks to a forestry company in the area. Finally we claim the theft of wood that was carried out some time ago which we will use for individualistic purposes.

It is necessary to express how difficult it is for us to try to make changes to the way that people see Animal Liberation. The radical problem is that in this region (as in others in the south) it is common to steal animals for commercial purposes, and kill them to eat, and mistreating others is their daily bread. People follow the logic that ‘if an animal is not useful, what is it for?’ The animals are killed without any kind of remorse; the life of cows, lambs, horses, cats and dogs, among others, end as if they were nothing.

We are anarchists and vegans, but with respect to the last thing we are not interested in only a change in eating, we want to go for more. Although it is difficult, as we said before, our propaganda will reach people and communities, and the actions of harassment will cause –at least– terror to the executioners and exploiters of animals. It is the least we can do for those who live a daily life of death.

In the memory of the Anarchist Warrior/Expropriator/ Vegan Sebastián Oversluij, we will continue contributing and advancing in spite of what it will cost us because although the road is uphill, we are always thinking about our brave compañero Angry.

We send greetings to the Liberating Warrior/Expropriator/ Vegan Marcelo Villarroel who is serving his sentence in the High Security Prison in Santiago, the words he regularly shares fuel the fire that we carry within us.

For the spread of ALF/ELF cells!
For memory as a weapon!
Sebastián Oversluij, present!
Prisoners of the Social War, to the street!
