FIVE CHICKENS LIBERATED
14 RABBITS LIBERATED.
29th January, Zug
“The night of the 29th we liberated 14 individuals from their prison in Zug, Switzerland. Cramped in a really confined space and completely isolated from each other, these creatures survived a torturous existence with only one purpose, to be fattened and murdered for our taste buds.
They didn’t even have names, just numbers. We could not accept it. We saw as our duty to free these creatures from their captivity because non-human animals feel exactly like us and have the same right to live as we do. From now on they will live in a beautiful place where they can fulfil their natural needs.
Two animals are killed every second in Switzerland alone. With this action, we were able to spare 14 lives, but we also see this liberation as a symbolic act. As a call to arms to all animal-liberating beings!
it is possible and necessary to liberate any oppressed sentient being!
Join us! Create your own affinity group! Free the animals!
For animal and human liberation!”

USA CONSULATE TARGETED WITH PAINT GRENADES AND NOISE BOMBS.
18th January, Spain.
anonymous report:
“Under the ‘CALL FOR WORLDWIDE SOLIDARITY WITH THE J20 DEFENDANTS’, an autonomous group of anarchists decided to take action against the so-called ‘United States of America’ consulate.
We set off in the early morning with bags full of Christmas balls filled up with paint. On arrival, we redecorated the consulate with black, red and green all over the building.
Taking advantage of the many banks around the consulate, we allowed three noise bombs to explode causing the alarms to go off and aiding our voices of rage and solidarity to be heard even further in the middle of the night.
This murdering system is rotten and we stand in solidarity with our compañeros against Trump and the democratic system we are forced to live in.
This is just the beginning, our anger can only increase, our fight against the state and the system will prevail until all political class and upper class drown in it.
Drop the charges against our comrades at J20.
Be warned.
some anarchists.”
HUNTERS’ CARS VANDALISED, TYRES SLASHED, HUNT SUPPORTING BUSINESS TARGETED.
21st January, Spain
anonymous report:
“Spain seems to have no shame. Yesterday I heard of an organised hunt that was being publicised openly in a town over the public megaphones. The lack of organised hunt saboteurs brought me to the realisation that the hunt needed to be stopped differently.
“Spain seems to have no shame. Yesterday I heard of an organised hunt that was being publicised openly in a town over the public megaphones. The lack of organised hunt saboteurs brought me to the realisation that the hunt needed to be stopped differently.
I arrived at their meet and waited for all cars to be parked and emptied, leaving only the dogs inside whilst the hunters drunk coffee and alcohol in the bar. I approached the building to glue the locks with some hair clips and superglue. The owner won’t be too happy when they try to close the place up! Maybe that makes them think about hosting hunters at their place again.
I then deflated the tyres of three cars. The other two had protection so they had the luck to be slashed instead! After I was sure that cars would not be moving anywhere in the morning, some of the car windows were destroyed with a rock. Wondering about the noise and the dogs barking some of the hunters came out, so I had to flee leaving the job half done.
Next time, they won’t have a single window standing.
Stop the hunt. Stop the killing.
Sabotage”

RWE COMPOUND SABOTAGED.
4th January, Hambacher Forst.
RWE COMPOUND SABOTAGED.
anonymous report:
“2018 has begun – RWE are smashed!
We are a group of autonomous anarchists. We are nature defending itself, acting to protect the Hambacher Forest and the world from RWE and capitalism.
In this action, an area of RWE was destroyed. The area was previously part of the forest. RWE cut all the trees, destroyed the habitat of the living beings, built new structures, fenced it off, and observed it with cameras. These structures would help them to destroy the rest (226 hectares) of the 12,000 year old forest (originally 5500 hectares) for their profit with lignite/browncoal, which produces 90 million tons of CO2 per year.
This are was opened by us again and given back to the forest. The material they used to kill the forest is now being used to protect the forest. The structures inside are no longer available to RWE, so they cannot use them to destroy the forest further. We left messages to RWE, expressing our feelings towards them.
As RWE cut trees in the Hambacher Forest outside of the winter cutting season, it shows that they do not care about the law any more than we do. We do not want them to claim this area of mutilated forest for themselves, and will make it as difficult as possible for RWE to build new structures here and anywhere else in the Hambi.
RWE bribe local community organisations, and put pressure on local resistance groups. Police claimed that more militant action would result in greater repression, and would cause them to evict and cut the forest, making it the fault of activists that trees are cut. This action is to show that the resistance will not stop just because they are trying to scare us.
This is just the start of the fight back for 2018. The resistance will be really intense now, and will escalate to be even worse if there are any evictions. It was said before the cutting season that no tree will be cut for free – the more they cut the more expensive it will be. The same for evictions. Therefore it would be better for RWE if they shut the mine now and leave the forest.
Happy new year! RWE bleibt nicht!”
