“On the night of April 12, 2025, ALF visited Porvoo on Finland’s southern coast and destroyed two hunting towers, several feeding stations and a hunting trap, as well as burned down a hunting blind and destroyed another one. In addition, a game camera and some tools were stolen. The hunters in Finland can be certain that such attacks will continue in the future. Keep fighting comrades and fuck all the hunters!”

“Fuck them scum, we knew this place were killing birds because it is trap season and we were not wrong. As soon as we hit the shooting estate we found a larsen trap with a decoy crow. Unfortunately there was someone on a tractor so we had to leave the trap for later and keep looking. It didn’t take long for a second trap to appear with two magpies inside. Nobody around meant we could bag up both of the birds for a health check and after having some very stern words with the larsen trap -which rendered it flat – we went back to check on the crow.
The tractor had left, so we jumped the fence and lifted the larsen back into the safety of the woods to check on the bird. Luck wasn’t on our side as as soon as we had jumped back into the woods the gamekeeper appeared with a bucket of corn, baiting hunting towers to shoot deer this evening. We locked eyes and knew we had to run, so run we did!
Two magpies in a carrier and a crow in a massive larsen are not comfortable cargo to lug around while running away from a hunter on a quad bike, but streams are easy to jump and not so easy to drive through and in no time we were collected by someone else and taken to safety.
It was only then that we could check on the crow. They had been very talkative the whole drive, and to our surprise they were not clipped, so we released them after giving some food and water. The caught magpie also looked good and was released the same day, whilst the decoy magpie had the wings cut, so she was transported to a new home where experienced rehabbers will care for them until the clipped feathers re-grow.
All in all an exciting day out, two traps smashed and three individuals helped out of certain suffering and death. Hunters are scum, and scum needs removing. Get out there and fight back.”

“Freeing animals and destroying cages is like listening to Beethoven: beautiful.
With the favor of darkness we searched, found and destroyed 4 trap cages used to capture and kill animals considered “invasive.”
To our surprise in one was a still-living nutria that we promptly released and which, surely, would have been starved and thirsty.
The only truly invasive animal is the criminal human.
Get Out, Release, Destroy.
Always, However, Everywhere.

“Liberare animali e distruggere gabbie e’ come ascoltare Beethoven: bellissimo.
Con il favore del buio abbiamo cercato, trovato e distrutto 4 gabbie trappola usate per catturare e uccidere animali considerati “invasivi”.
Con nostra sorpresa in una era presente una nutria ancora viva che abbiamo prontamente liberato e che, sicuramente, sarebbe stata fatta morire di fame e sete.
L’unico animale davvero invasivo e’ l’umano criminale.
Esci, Libera, Distruggi.
Sempre, Comunque, Ovunque.

“A.L.F Locks Hunters Out Of Lake Colac For The Weekend
Last year a duck hunting season was announced despite a government inquiry that resulted in the recommendation that duck hunting be banned. Multiple actions were taken in response to this including direct action at Jacinta Allen’s office, a rifle club was targeted as well as numerous actions at lakes where hunting is allowed.
This year another season was green lit with an increased period of shooting and an increase in the daily limit of killing. The slaughter of ducks was approved for 83 days and 9 ducks per day per shooter.
Following a report of early shooting on the wetlands and wounded ducks, with video evidence, the A.L.F visited Lake Colac to lock up some gates, and leave some spikes for vehicles to eat up. We chained and locked a fence and for extra measures filled the gaps with expanding foam to make it harder to cut away. Road spikes were also left behind to hit vehicles on their way in for the weekend.
Hunters will be hunted.
In memory of our good friend and amazing activist Liz Dealey. Rest in power.
This action took place on land never ceded. We stand in solidarity with the First Nations people of the land who continue to face oppression.
We acknowledge that all systems of oppression are linked and we call for a free Palestine, Congo, Sudan, and all other lands facing the impacts of colonization. “

“The hunting industry in the spanish state have achieved some goals recently. They will be able to hunt wolves again and in 2025/2026 they will kill 100.000 turtledoves. They will kill also a huge number of other animals. Supported by the far right, they feel strong. That´s the reason we decided it was the time to share with you some contacts of people working on the hunting industry so you can say them what you think about their jobs.
Hunting is murder.

“La industria cinegética en el Estado español ha conseguido algunos logros recientemente. El Congreso de los diputados aprobó recientemente poder volver a cazar lobos y en la temporada de caza 2025/2026 se esperan que maten 100.000 tórtolas, que se sumarán a la enorme cantidad de animales asesinados a manos de cazadores cada año.
Respaldados por la extrema derecha se sienten fuertes. Por eso, hemos pensado que era buen momento para compartir con todes vosotres unos cuantos contactos de personas relacionadas con la industria cinegética para que podáis decirles lo que pensáis sobre su trabajo.
Cazar es asesinar.

“Males and Females of all different species are hours away from dying due to being treated as objects where the employees don’t care about the animals’ well-being.
About 30 individuals of these species are displayed front and center of the store. Each in a small, plastic container. Not more than 4 ounces of water to survive in. Most of these fish are ill, stagnant, colorless, and unable to move; all under burning and bright flourescent lights for at least 18 hours a day. If they do not get sold, they get tossed into the trash!
He is now in a loving place!

“Imola, a city in the province of Bologna (IT), a group of activists have applied stickers, with the word “CANCELED”, on the large posters of the Madagascar circus that during the shows humiliates, exploits and mistreats the captive animals.

We will continue to sabotage the circus until they stop making a profit on the skin of human animals and other species.”

“LIBERATION OF 16 HENS IN EUROPE
For them it’s a life or death question. This emergency convinced us that direct action is an absolute necessity of the antispecist’s fight.
Facing the systemic violence which strikes against these beings made vulnerable, it’s time to organise us into independent groups of activists fighting alongside of animal comrades, exploited and slaughtered, in farms and slaughterhouses. Well then ! We pass fences and doors, security systems and cops. We must be quick, we know the plan, and our camaraderie is rock solid.
We want to change things, abolish their torture, their mutilation, their objectification and all the unspeakable things in their lives. We fight for justice. We want to change the world.
Their world.
And the world changes when we catch their bodies and let them get away. The slaughterhouse will not gas their damaged lungs, the slaughterhouse will not saw their air necks. No, sanctuaries welcome them with care and consideration, our hen comrades discover the liberty, grass, stars and teach us that everything is possible.
Each liberated life is a story, a hope, a victory.

Frente a la violencia sistemática que duele a estos seres hechos vulnerables, ha llegado el momento de organizarse en grupos autónomos de activistas y luchar al lado de los compañeros animales. Estos mismos que son utilizados y matados en la ganaderias y en los mataderos. Por eso, pasamos mallas y puertas, sistemas de seguridad y la poli. Hay que ir de prisa, ya conocemos el plan y nuestra camaradería es infalible.

Queremos cambiar el mundo.
Su mundo.
Este mundo si cambia cuando agarramos sus cuerpos, y que los animales se escapan. El matadero no gazera sus pulmones dañados, no romperá sus cuellos adoloridos. No. Al contrario, los santuarios les acogen y les tratan con consideración. Nuestros compañeras gallinas descubren la libertad, la hierba fresca, las estrellas, e aprenden-nos que todo es posible.

“A local hunting club JODEŁKA is involved in extreme cruelty against a young female bison. She is shot in a leg and left to die. She suffers for 3 long weeks before passing away! This is criminal but police doesn’t do much to discover the guilty one.
March 2025
After the case is made public animal right activists come to retaliate. Six hunting towers owned by JODEŁKA are sawed down. And club members are clearly advised to disclose their guilty mate.”
