“Large mammal trap baited with a dead bird found while having a nosey around a farm. Most likely intended to trap a fox.
Go out and look, these things are easy to find and easy to flatten and fold. Leave no cage unbroken and let the wild be wild.”

“24 laying hens were liberated in France from a free-range farm.
It was a quick action filled with rage, love and hope. Places of speciesism are vulnerable and accessible and we will not stop until every cage is empty.
The 24 feathery persons are now safe, loved and free.
Long fight to all who fight alongside animals and good luck for every future actions.
Together, we change worlds and dismantle speciesism, night by night <3″

“Larsen trap found and swiftly crushed. These nasty traps target crows, magpies and other corvids but not on our watch!
Our hearts are warmed by the news that Marius Mason will be released from prison next month. This made us jump even higher. Love and solidarity to you Marius from across the pond.”

Shame on breeders.”
23rd March, Utah USA.
According to local press, a farm in Utah was attacked by unknown activists, who destroyed equipment and machinery as well as slashing 14 tyres, leaving a 35k dollars trail of destruction. The graffiti left on scene read ‘Meat is Murder’ and ‘ALF’.
Owner of the farm Ranon Reber said “They drilled a bunch of holes through all the tires and knocked off all the valve stems, just being destructive.” [ … ] “It doesn’t make any sense, if anything, we’re actually making food for the animals. I mean, it’s obvious they don’t know what they’re doing.” According to his wife, activists drilled holes on tyres as well as knocking off air valves.
Police is asking for information regarding the incident and farming lobby groups are offering a 10k USD reward for information about the action.
long run the fox!

“Paris’s Region pork industry has a dark future ahead
On the night of the 4th of April, a well meant anti specist group set fire to a bunch (15-ish) of refrigerated trucks belonging to the Paris Terroir’s slaugtherhouse (formerly know as Guy Harang) in Houdan.
Targeting the logistics behind animal trade is targeting the inner workings of specism and capitalism. Pigs, like all the other animals, do not want to participate in this morbid society !
Fire to the slaughterhouses, end to all opressions !

“Inspired by the liberation of dogs bred for research in the US, but tired of dreaming of ‘the big one’, I decided to take action.
While friends were socialising, I painted two billboards in Southampton advertising a local zoo with ‘ZOO = PRISON’. I know this was a small act, but this was my first direct action for animal liberation. It won’t be my last.
MBR Acres and factory farms across the UK won’t empty themselves through dreaming. We owe it to the animals to build the skills and confidence we need to do it ourselves. That starts with some paint, a glued lock, a broken window… Get out there, and good luck.”

“JBT Marel, Birmingham UK. March 22nd.
This company was targeted for their production of gas chambers in which pigs are tortured in their MILLIONS every single day or as they like to call them “CO2-group stunning systems”.
Their locks were also glued up…. I was just leaving and realised their nice cream wall could do with some colour so “EVIL CUNTS” was also spray painted on (not pictured).”

“A little excursion into the heart of the Cheshire countryside monitoring wildlife habitat turned into a productive life saving mission.
Our little friends underground, the moles who do so much unnoticed work and do so much for the eco system are targeted by the murderous cowardly farmers who exploit and oppress so many already.
Not content with just torturing so many non human animals we share the world with on the land, they turn to torturing those below ground who hurt nobody and go about their life peacefully.
So when their plastic markers were spotted in the quiet countryside, appropriate action had to be taken.
The evil death traps were swiftly removed and dealt with accordingly so they can do no more harm.
Fck you, murderous farmers.
Where there is torture we will come looking and make it stop.
This doesn’t end until all are liberated, free and have autonomy.
This is dedicated to all those who liberate the exploited and oppressed, past and present.
Direct action saves lives.”
