“BADGER’S REVENGE – A CALL TO ACTION AND A DECLARATION OF WAR.

For years, thousands of people have opposed the government order to murder badgers in the country. Countless nights and days walking the countryside, looking for cages, scaring shooters away from setts, organising protests and demonstrations to show a glimmer of resistance against a senseless massacre that has been proven a sham by the scientific community and that is only organised by the government to appease farmers who get off on torturing other sentient beings.

We have shown them opposition and resistance, but badgers have continuously been murdered and no material changes have been achieved. For that reason we are calling for the formation of autonomous cells under the banner of Badger’s Revenge. We know where the badger murderers live, we know their fields, their routes, their barns and farms, in many cases we know their names and businesses and their local involvement in community projects. That is probably the biggest riches we have acquired after so many years opposing the cull. Now, it is time to step up and avenge the murders they have committed.

We are calling for all folks that have opposed the cull and gained insight into the badger murderers to create their own informal, autonomous groups and make them pay for all they’ve done. We don’t care what your tactics are, but we believe the memory of hundreds of thousands of murdered badgers deserve avenging. Move swift in the night. Take their tools, break their shit, send a message. You fucked with the wild for little more than peanuts. Now the wild is back to collect the overdue tax.

– On a warm night in June we paid a visit to a badger murderer in Chipping Norton in Oxfordshire. We targeted them specifically as they run a pheasant shoot in the land. We obliterated their tractor, cutting all hydraulics and cables and filling the diesel tank with bird seed. We slashed the tyres, punctured the shooter trailer’s tyres, slashed the seats and bashed larsens, badger cages, fox traps, squirrel traps and a ladder trap. We also found and took four professional chainsaws that have been sold, with all profits supporting wildlife centers that take care of badgers. This is just the beginning.-

//some petrol, a lighter, is all that we need, to light up your life and to show you your greed. the hunt is on you//

BADGER’S REVENGE. “

“A few days ago we visited a shooting estate in the Midlands. Almost immediately, we stumbled upon a Larsen trap. A magpie had been locked inside as bait, so we checked her over and took her to a safe refuge where she could receive veterinary treatment and recover. The trap was torn apart and put out of commission.

In the bushes nearby, we found a big floppy dildo. Presumably, it belonged to the gamekeeper, so after disinfecting it, we gave it back by super-glueing it to the seat of a shooting platform near his house. We left as quickly as we had arrived, but not as silently. Three other shooting platforms were torn to the ground and destroyed as we fled into the darkness with our rescued magpie friend.

Until every gun is silenced, we will be in the forests, the fields, and the country estates to save our wildlife, and to say it loudly: all shooters are big floppy dildos.”

ENGLISH (translation):

“It’s their lives, not ours” is often shouted in the streets among speciesists but how much do we value their lives? Imagine being tortured/slaved and that your destiny is to have your throat slit, would you expect total abolition or at least that someone would risk everything to at least help you escape from that misery? This is what we always ask ourselves with some, very few companions.

There are people who rescue animals from the streets that are abandoned to their fate (dogs or cats) there are other people who rescue together with the police using the few laws that are left on their side to non-human animals, such as horses for example, but what is left to animals from exploitation?

There are no laws that regulate their fate whether they are pigs, cows or chickens. One thing is to rescue and another to liberate.

Even if it is a life “it is their life”.
Animals cannot wait for the end of speciesism, our complacency limits us to what we are doing and “up to here I can do” for the other animals, but is it enough? Do you really believe that you save animals without cutting their cages? We don’t think so.

As we firmly maintain that animals are not anyone’s property, and that it is not even expropriation.  It is an act of liberation of slaves to take direct action in our hands and save lives…which are theirs, not ours. Even if in the act we consequently lose our own freedom because we owe it to them.

Self-organising can be achieved collectively with an objective purpose as long as we are clear about the urgency that the end deserves. We are also clear to those pessimists that we will not free all the animals in the world in this way, but “What if you were in their place?
“IF YOU WERE THE VICTIM?” ”How long would you give your oppressor?” Self-organise now!”

SPANISH (original):

“Son sus vidas, no las nuestras” se suele gritar en las calles entre especistas pero que tanto valoramos sus vidas? Imagínate estar siendo tortutado/esclavizado y que tu destino sea ser degollado , esperarías la abolicion total o al menos que alguien lo arriesgue todo para al menos ayudarte a escapar de esa miseria? Es lo que siempre nos preguntamos con algunxs, muy pocxs compañerxs.Hay personas que rescatan animales de las calles que son abandonados a su suerte(perros o gatos) hay otras personas que rescatan junto a la policía utilizando las pocas leyes que les quedan de su lado a los animales no humanos, como a caballos por ejemplo, pero que les queda a los animales de la explotación? No hay leyes que regulen su destino si son cerdos ,vacas o pollos. Una cosa es rescatar y otra liberar.Aun que sea una vida “es su vida”Los animales no pueden esperar por el fin de el especismo, nuestra autocomplacencia nos limita a lo que estamos haciendo y “hasta acá puedo hacer” por los demás animales, pero es suficiente? De verdad creen que salvan a los animales sin cortar sus jaulas? No lo creemos así. Como sostenemos firmemente que los animales no son la propiedad de nadie,y que no es expropiación siquiera. Es un acto de liberacion de esclavxs tomar en nuestras manos la acción directa y salvar vidas…que son las suyas , no las nuestras . Aun que en el acto por consecuencia perdamos nuestra propia libertad porque se lo debemos.Lo autogestivo puede lograrse de manera colectiva con un propósito objetivo siempre y cuando tengamos en claro la urgencia qué merece el fin. Tenemos también bien en claro para esxs pesimistas que de esta manera no liberaremos a todos los animales del mundo,pero “y si estuvieras en su lugar?” “SI FUERAS VOS LA VÍCTIMA?” “Cuanto tiempo le darías a tu opresor?” Autogestionate ya!”

ENGLISH (translation):

“[Anarcoveganismo does not claim responsibility for any crime or vandalism, but we think it is important to spread all the news sent to us through anonymous messages].

It was learned that during the early hours of Saturday morning three double trailers with crates transporting live chickens to slaughterhouses were set on fire (the crates were empty).

A local source described this event as “doubtful”, since no “electrical failure” was found and it seems to have been intentional. Even though it was not related to any insurance issue, there is no way that only one of the trailers could have caught fire out of nowhere, nor is it understood how the three trailers could have caught fire at such a distance from each other. Everything indicates that since there were no birds in any of the trailers, they were set on fire.

This news makes us happy, regardless of the purpose of this fire, in those trucks full of crates thousands of chickens are transported to slaughterhouses, they have no chance of escaping death and even if some arrive already lifeless, most of them can see how their brothers are killed under the supremacist human hand. We believe that those who directly fight the murderous speciesist machinery fight speciesism with a bare fist by boycotting, and destroying against all odds, or against all consequences.”

SPANISH (original):

“[Anarcoveganismo no se atribuye ningun hecho delictivo o vandalico, pero nos parece importante difundir todas las noticias que nos envían mediante mensajes anónimos]

Se supo que durante la madrugada del Sábado se incendiaron tres acoplados dobles con cajones qué transportan pollos vivos a mataderos (los cajones se encontraban vacíos)

Una fuente local tildó de “dudoso” este hecho, ya que no se encontro algún “fallo eléctrico” y al parecer fue intencional. Aun que no se lo relacionó con algun tema de seguro, no hay forma de que de la nada se pueda incendiar solo alguno de los acoplados, tampoco se entiende como los tres se terminan incendiando de manera total estando distanciados uno de los otros. Todo indica que al no haber aves en ninguno de los acoplados se procedió a incendiarlos.

Estas noticias nos alegran, mas alla de con que fin se haya hecho este incendio, en esos camiones repletos de cajones transportan miles de pollos a mataderos, no tienen ninguna chance de escapar de la muerte y aún que algunos llegan ya sin vida la mayoría pueden ver como son asesinados sus hermanos bajo la mano supremacísta humana. Creemos que quienes combaten de manera directa la maquinaria especista asesina combaten el especismo a puño limpio boicoteando, y destruyendo contra todo pronóstico, o contra toda consecuencia.”
