Two hunting towers were put out of action in the Belgian Ardennes. In solidarity with everyone fighting for liberation across the world, and for the animals, always.”

25th August, Chile.

According to local press, a council owned bullfighting square in Cabrero, Chile, was intentionally set alight by unknown activists a couple of weeks before it was due for opening. In an interesting exercise of mental olympics that somehow forgets both colonialism and speciesism, the mayor has condemned the attack and saying the only reason this has occurred is to attack the traditions of the countryside working class.

We have not received any claim of responsibility for this action.

“I saw a broken down lorry in Wilton, near Salisbury. In the back, the lorry driver was trying to re-stack crates filled with thousands of chicks; the noise of their cheeping was deafening. There were loads of dead chicks on the floor of the lorry, crushed by the falling crates. The driver was trying to sort them into piles of dead chicks or throw them into a crate if they were still alive. Lots of chicks were rolling off the back into the road. I stopped beside the lorry to block all the traffic, shocked that everyone was just going about their day.

I picked some chicks off the road and placed them in my glove box. Another lady was doing the same. Pedestrians were horrified that the chicks were off to be killed by factory farms and grabbed a few to take home. I kept filling my truck until the lorry driver turned his back. I grabbed the crate he had filled with the escaped chicks, put it in my pick-up, and drove. I took them home to Dorset to figure out what to do next. There were 70 of them!

I contacted Dorset Animal Action and other local groups, and word soon spread. A sanctuary got in touch, and 20 minutes later, the chicks and I were back on the road. I’ve had an update several days later, and all 70 babies survived their traumatic experience and are doing really well.”

These beautiful chicks will now get to live out their full lives in the safety of a sanctuary, but billions more are suffering inside factory farms. Be vegan for them ”.

23 July, Greece.

[editor’s note: Tsakiris egg factory runs 19 separate egg farms in the area. On the night of the 22nd of July, their main egg sorting facility was completely destroyed by fire. Greenpeace took the opportunity to say that thousands of birds had been murdered by the blaze, which ensured that a big percentage of the news coverage was about the imaginary death of chicks at a factory where no animals are housed. This action did not result in the death of any egg laying chickens as it was the central sorting and packaging factory that was attacked.]

ENGLISH (translation): 



“We take responsibility for the arson of the egg production company TSAKIRIS FAMILY in the area of Thessaloniki.

Your regret for your destroyed “property” is a source of amusement for us. You are not businessmen, you are murderers of millions of animals. Thousands of animals every day die under miserable conditions for the taste of their flesh, providing incalculable profits to their masters. Sentient beings that can feel every emotion we feel are treated as raw material for capitalist production.

In a world where the extermination of the defenseless (animals) is a normality, we refuse to be part of it. We refuse to passively watch the slaughter and fight with fire. We do not wait for the “time” to come to deal with animals as the graphic professional revolutionaries ask us to do. We determine that the time is now and we move forward with unyielding struggle.

Until the last animal Auschwitz is closed.

PS1: If you rebuild it, we’ll burn it again.

PS2: There is a lot of garbage that in one way or another contributes to the extermination of animals. By far the most miserable of these are the meat-eating environmentalists.”

GREEK (original):

“Αναλαμβάνουμε την ευθύνη για τον εμπρησμό της αυγοπαραγωγικής εταιρίας TSAKIRIS FAMILY στην περιοχή της Θεσσαλονίκης.

Η λύπη σας για την κατεστραμμένη «περιούσια» σας αποτελεί πηγή διασκέδασης για μας. Δεν είστε επιχειρηματίες, είστε δολοφόνοι εκατομμυρίων ζώων. Χιλιάδες ζώα κάθε μέρα πεθαίνουν υπό άθλιες συνθήκες για τη γεύση της σάρκας τους, προσφέροντας ανυπολόγιστα κέρδη στα αφεντικά. Αισθανόμενα όντα που μπορούν να νιώσουν κάθε συναίσθημα που νιώθουμε κι εμείς, αντιμετωπίζονται ως πρώτη ύλη της καπιταλιστικής παραγωγής.

Σε ένα κόσμο που η εξόντωση των ανυπεράσπιστων (ζώων) αποτελεί κανονικότητα, εμείς αρνούμαστε να είμαστε μέρος της. Αρνούμαστε να κοιτάμε παθητικά τη σφαγή και πολεμάμε με φωτιά. Δεν περιμένουμε να «έρθει η ώρα» να ασχοληθούμε με τα ζώα όπως μας ζητάνε οι γραφικοί επαγγελματίες επαναστάτες. Ορίζουμε εμείς ότι η κατάλληλη ώρα είναι τώρα και προχωράμε με ανυποχώρητο αγώνα.

Μέχρι να κλείσει και το τελευταίο Άουσβιτς των ζώων.

ALF/KLM.

ΥΓ1: Αν το ξαναχτίσετε, θα το ξανακάψουμε.

ΥΓ2: Υπάρχουν πολλά σκουπίδια που με τον ένα τροπο ή τον άλλο συμβάλουν στην εξόντωση των ζώων. Μακράν τα αθλιότερα από αυτά είναι οι κρεατοφάγοι οικολόγοι.”

‘The target was a Portland and Western Railroad bridge/trestle over the Willamette River between Lake Oswego and Milwaukie, Oregon.

We will respond to the civilisation that destroys the earth and the possibility of free life with destruction in turn.

“The track is closed to railroad traffic at this time.”

“P&W (PNWR) traffic will be rerouted for quite a while, so Cornelius Pass may see a lot more action for a long time.”

“There is some structural damage to the trestle, which is operated by P&W Railroad.”

PNWR has a diverse traffic base based on carload commodities. Woodchips, paper, agricultural goods, and aggregates are all major sources of traffic. Primary amongst the road’s over 135 customers are Stimson Lumber Company, Cascade Steel Rolling Mills, Georgia Pacific, and Hampton Lumber Sales. The rail also transports Oil from Exxon Mobile, Asphalt, and petroleum products.

Rail is a primary method of transportation of materials for the industry that makes war possible.

The industrial activity responsible for climate collapse has no real interest in stopping its devastation but instead insists on pretending to be environmentally friendly and using terms such as “green energy”, with new sources of extractive energy that are still harmful to ecosystems and our lives; And above all, with the clarity that each of us are the only ones who can combat the advance of devastation, we see the urgency of attacking the industry that destroys the earth, adding our initiative and action to the internationalist campaign. Switch Off!” switchoff.noblogs.org

May this action be a warm greeting of solidarity to those who have stuck blows such as the attacks on Cement Plants in Germany, the Mapuche Warriors fighting in Chile, Saboteurs of the Mountain
Valley Pipeline in West Vriginia, attackers of the techno-fascist progressive “green energy” project “Tesla”, efforts against the military production companies such as Elbit powering the genocide of Palestinians, those steady fustrating the efforts of Cop City in Atlanta, GA, and all those who take action recognizing that attack must be immediate and everywhere the facilities and means of those
responsible for the devastation are located, contributing to dialogue through direct action and attack.

For those who we walk with on the offensive we greet warmly.
We take this action as a carrying of our dead.
We have not forgotten and we carry on.
Switch Off! The System Of Destruction

25th August, Valencia, Spain.

According to pro-hunting media, a hunter in Marines, Valencia, came back from a day of murdering to find their car scratched and nails placed just under the tyres with the intention of popping the tyres when driving away.

The Valencia hunting federation said the attack was extremely worrisome and (whilst they did not offer economic support to the hunter) they did offer to share the attack on social media.

They say this is not the first time hunters in the area are attacked by unknown locals.
