According to national press, Balsall Heath City Farm in Birmingham was the target of a theft where seventeen chickens were stolen. The farm works as a “farm animal zoo” within the city.
the ‘stolen’ hens.
This is not the first time the farm has been targeted. During December 2022, the farm was raided four times, where multiple rabbits, guinea pigs and turkeys were taken away.
They say they do not know why anyone would steal the animals and that they are preparing to build a ‘chicken fortress’ that ‘can’t be broken into’.
According to local media, a group of people paid a visit to a farm near Bridport, Dorset UK, stealing a trailer where they also loaded seventy turkeys being fattened to be murdered for christmas. We do not know what the intentions of the thieves were with the seventy turkeys, but the farm reports that they have ruined Christmas for “at least seventy families”.
It is speculated that the sales price for each one of the turkeys was 80GBP, costing the farm 5600 without taking into account the cost of the animal trailer.
Italy, 1/12/2023 Tonight, abetted by a full moon, we attacked two sheds for hunting by rendering them harmless. The War for Animal Liberation will continue until they are ALL free from the violence of the criminal human. A.L.F.

Italia, 1/12/2023 Questa notte, complice la luna piena, abbiamo attaccato due capanni per la caccia rendendoli inoffensivi. La Guerra per la Liberazione Animale continuera’ fino a che saranno TUTTI liberi dalla violenza dell’umano criminale. A.L.F. “
“In solidarity with all animals being murdered for the “Christmas celebrations” and inspired by folks in Australia, in Midlands and in Luton UK, we decided to break into a turkey farm and take six birds with us.
They were mere days away from being murdered. One of the barns had already been wiped, so we can only guess that all birds we left behind in the second barn are now dead.
We want to amplify the call to action that our anonymous comrades in Midlands wrote about. In this capitalist world of slavery to consumerism and complete tethering to employment, Christmas tends to be a time to celebrate, to spend and to switch off. We believe it is the perfect time for animal abusing scum to feel our wrath.
Every fucking day from today to Christmas, make sure you do something to some abuser that will make them enjoy their Christmas a little less. Most turkeys might’ve been kllled already, but butcher shop windows are still intact, milk parlours are still functioning and there is so much Christmas spirit in liberating dogs from a hunter or slashing the tyres of a vivisector.
This is directed at you, the reader, wherever you are. Get out there and cause the chaos deserved by animal abusers for their constant disregard to animal suffering.
According to pro-hunting media, the four hunting stands that Didier Fresnau built as the president of the of the Amis de la grange hunting association had one of the four legs sawn off, then repositioned so it looked like it wasn’t damaged.
According to Didier, this was a premeditated act to hurt or kill the hunters using the stands: “the legs were cut off with a saw, but the towers remained standing on three legs. There was a will to cause harm.”
The hunting towers had been built in August 2023, lasting an impressive three months before someone decided they did not match the surrounding aesthetics of the countryside.
According to pro-hunting press, all the hunting towers in the hunting ground near Jahrstedt in Saxony Anhalt were destroyed or damaged in between the 6th and the 7th of November. Leaseholder Christian Neumann says that they celebrated Hubertus Day with no anomalies, but that a few days later they were met with the unpleasant surprised of having lost all their towers to unknown individuals.
“Can you imagine being born into this world for the sole purpose of being slaughtered for your flesh, at the hands of those who never recognised you as an individual?
How hard would you want those who could see your suffering to fight? And at what extreme would you be okay with them stopping?
Because their lives should never have been seen as anything other than their own. Because taste or tradition does not justify spilling a single drop of blood, or a single tear.
Because given the opportunity, they would show us nothing but love.
We wish we didn’t have to be ‘vegan’. We wish that ‘vegan’ was just ‘normal’. That is the day we are fighting for.
To those we left behind, we are sorry. We wish we could have shown you what freedom looks like.”
“On a chilly night last weekend, members of the ALF visited Grand River Fur Exchange in Rome, Ohio (6310 US Highway 6) and liberated 30 foxes being held captive there, destined for imminent slaughter so their skins could be sold for profit.”On a chilly night last weekend, members of the ALF visited Grand River Fur Exchange in Rome, Ohio (6310 US Highway 6) and liberated 30 foxes being held captive there, destined for imminent slaughter so their skins could be sold for profit.
One thing we noticed about this particular farm, though at first glance it seemed moderately secure…..we didn’t even need bolt cutters. The wire encircling the pen where the foxes were held we were able to rip open with nothing but our hands. Once inside, the cage doors, held fast with a little bit of wire, were also able to be torn open with just a strong pull. It just goes to show that anyone, without requiring any special tools or know how, can visit a fur farm at night and save animals’ lives.
Most of the foxes were terrified of us, knowing humans come only to deliver abuse and death. But within minutes most of them had leapt from their cages, some escaping through the holes we had created in the enclosure. All of our efforts that night were repaid in an instant, seeing the foxes that had escaped into the outside world, knowing these were their first moments of a new and long life when minutes ago they had been condemned to death in mere weeks. No amount of chanting at street protests will give you anything close to the feeling of seeing animals you just freed get away.

Mark Gutman, we would have been happy to empty your entire stock had we had more time. We will not forget the animals we left behind. Best consider a career change before you are left with nothing.
The fur industry is close to collapse. It’s all up to us, there’s no one else coming to push it over the edge. Now is the time.”
