“On the evening of 13 June, in Nea Paralia, Thessaloniki, we vandalized the car of the businessman George Galis, who owns a company that sells livestock equipment. This company, through its website, advertises upgraded and modern machinery that contributes to better conditions inside livestock farms.

For us, livestock farms are prisons in which hundreds of millions of animals around the world are forced to endure a lifetime with the sole aim of being exploited by humans for their milk or the eggs they produce and killed for their meat and skin. And all this to end up with the human consumer. Since we oppose confinement and prisons, we do not accept the improvement of their conditions, only their destruction. Thus everyone who in any way contributes to their preservation is co-responsible and is automatically our target. That is why we spray-painted slogans on the luxury car of this particular businessman, a Mercedes 300, worth around EUR 60 000.

The damage we have done may be minimal compared to the torture experienced by animals in confinement, but by increasing our attacks against torturers, exploiters and killers, we animal liberation activists around the world are sending the message that any act against defenseless creatures will not go unanswered and will have consequences until we tear down every farm and free all animals.

PS. One of the products sold by this company is the trap, a machine whose bars trap the animal’s head so that it eats its food motionless, which makes it a torture.

Το βράδυ στις 13 Ιουνίου, στην Νέα Παραλία Θεσ/νίκης, προχωρήσαμε σε βανδαλισμό του αυτοκινήτου του επιχειρηματία Γεωργίου Γαλή, ο οποίος κατέχει εταιρία που εμπορεύεται κτηνοτροφικό εξοπλισμό. Η εν λόγω επιχείρηση μέσω της ιστοσελίδας της, διαφημίζει τα αναβαθμισμένα και σύγχρονα μηχανήματα που συμβάλουν στις καλύτερες συνθήκες μέσα στις κτηνοτροφικές μονάδες.

Για εμάς τα εκτροφεία ζώων είναι φυλακές, στις οποίες εκατοντάδες εκατομμύρια ζώα σε όλο τον κόσμο, εξαναγκάζονται να υπομένουν μια ζωή με μόνο στόχο, την εκμετάλλευση από τους ανθρώπους, όσον αφορά το γάλα τους ή τα αυγά που παράγουν και τον θάνατο τους όσον αφορά το κρέας και το δέρμα τους. Και όλα αυτά για να καταλήξουν στον άνθρωπο -καταναλωτή. Από την στιγμή που εναντιωνόμαστε στον εγκλεισμό και στις φυλακές, δεν αποδεχόμαστε την καλυτέρευση των συνθήκων τους, πάρα μόνο την καταστροφή τους. Έτσι ο καθένας που με οποιονδήποτε τρόπο συμβάλει στην διατήρηση τους, είναι συνυπεύθυνος και αυτομάτως αποτελεί στόχο μας. Για αυτό και εμείς γράψαμε με σπρέι, συνθήματα πάνω στο πολυτελές αυτοκίνητο του συγκεκριμένου επιχειρηματία, ένα Mercedes 300, αξίας περίπου 60.000 ευρώ. Η ζημιά που κάναμε μπορεί να είναι το ελάχιστο μπροστά στα βασανιστήρια που βιώνουν τα έγκλειστα ζώα, αλλά πληθαίνοντας τις επιθέσεις μας απέναντι στους βασανιστές, εκμεταλλευτές και δολοφόνους, εμείς οι αγωνιστές της απελευθέρωσης των ζώων ανά τον κόσμο, στέλνουμε το μήνυμα ότι οποιαδήποτε πράξη ενάντια σε ανυπεράσπιστα πλάσματα, δεν θα μείνει αναπάντητη και θα έχει συνέπειες, μέχρι να γκρεμίσουμε το κάθε εκτροφείο και να απελευθερώσουμε όλα τα ζώα.

ΥΓ. Ένα από τα προϊόντα που πουλάει η συγκεκριμένη εταιρία, είναι και η παγίδα, ένα μηχάνημα που τα σίδερα του εγκλωβίζουν το κεφάλι του ζώου, ούτος ώστε να τρώει την τροφή του ακίνητο, κάτι που το καθιστά βασανιστήριο.

“When people think about eggs, most initially think of their breakfast or baking – a chickens egg is often euphemistically referred to as e.g. “breakfast egg”.

Laying hens are bred to produce nearly an egg a day – far beyond what their bodies would have naturally evolved to do. Their reproductive systems are pushed to the limit, their lives reduced to cramped, filthy cages or halls, often shared with tens of thousands of others. There is no daylight. The air is thick with dust and ammonia. Ventilation systems roar constantly. Many hens develop painful inflammations in their cloaca – organ where eggs pass through – and some simply collapse under the strain of production. These are not exceptions. They are routine and calculated in by the industry!

In the midst of this manufactured misery, seven animal rights activists in Germany stepped into action and entered an industrial egg facility under cover of darkness. Inside were roughly 40,000 hens, most of them silent, some featherless, almost all of them showing signs of sickness. From this bleak battery, the activists carried out 27 chickens, giving them a chance at a life that had been denied from birth.

Contrary to popular belief, chickens are intelligent, social beings who can remember many faces, form friendships, and show deep maternal care. Some hens even seek out affection, resting their heads against their companions.

One of the most persistent myths is that no animals die for eggs. Yet even before slaughter, around 6% of chickens in the industry die from illness, injury, or sheer exhaustion. Male chicks, unable to lay eggs, are often killed on their first day of life—by gassing or being ground up alive or -if the named two methods of killing male chicks are illegal in the country they were born in- chicken farms will ship them to different countries to kill them there.

Chickens could live up to ten years. But in the egg industry, most are killed after just 15 to 18 months, when their bodies are “spent”. Just by the time you’ve finished reading over 115,000 chickens have been slaughtered worldwide!

We are taught to see eggs as innocent, everyday food. But if we truly looked at where they come from, the system might resemble something closer to dystopian science fiction than a sunday breakfast.

Let’s start to de-normalize eggs as something that’s ours to use and work torwards a world where everybody can be free – no matter the body they’re born into.

We won’t stop fighting until every cage is empty!

Animal liberation now and everywhere!”

“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!”
