According to local media, Barnards Green Butcher shop in Malvern had their windows smashed at midnight on the 27th of September. The action caused a local stir, with Facebook comments reading “they are closed, are there no real butchers left?”. Later, the butchers confirmed it was not closed and that they had to board up the windows.
West Mercia Police’s PCSO Bullock begged for snitches to come forward with information. At this time, we have not received a report of the action.
“During BournemoutH Air Festival, actionists sent the message that incursions of military equipment and the glorification of the arms industry into spaces of nature will not be tolerated, by splashing a battle tank, a display helicopter, and army recruitment boards with red paint. This action was taken in solidarity with Palestine and all other peoples and land under occupation, and those under the long shadow of British colonialism, with the hope of disrupting the normalisation of the UK’s continuous involvement in war and genocide, and that others will also act against all targets of oppression and domination wherever they see them. It’s true that at first it felt like an intimidating task to go unnoticed in a makeshift military village with military personnel, police and stewards patrolling to protect the equipment, but with the sound of the waves and the darkness of the beach acting as our accomplices, we were able to leave our mark and disappear again. There was no media coverage of our action which we assume to be because of the deep and burning embarrassment caused to the armed forces, security, police and the council who paid for this debacle and trying to keep it secure.
Our message to everyone reading this is that any expression of domination can be a target, and that we are not unique or better equipped to cause trouble to our oppressors than you are. Don’t be inhibited by the idea that something should be impossible – go and see for yourself if you can make it possible. Take every precaution you can, stay ready to change your plans, and know that those who want to stand in your way are not infallible in the way propaganda would have you believe. In testing the boundaries, we so often find how unprepared oppressive forces are for any form of resistance because they expect us to remain passive, and we can start to free our own minds from these artificial cages and empower ourselves and others to act in ways that pursue life with more freedom.”
“During a walk in the Dorset countryside, we happened upon a strange fence in a small area of woodland.
Behind the fence were several hundred young pheasants, who we realised had been bred to be chased across nearby fields and shot.
They looked so innocent, so unaware of the violent fate that lay in store for them, so we simply could not walk by.
After disconnecting and removing the battery for the electric fence, we removed several fence panels, and the door to the enclosure. Once we had emptied all of the feed and water, to ensure the birds had no reason to return, we helped usher them out of their prison and into freedom. Run free little ones, you’re safe now x”
“We liberated a badly abused dog from the Raubeckhof in Dürnau. Many people are aware of the many problems there, the veterinary office knows about it for months, the public prosecutor’s office is active and yet almost nothing is happening. Once again, it took people like us to bring about change.
He now lifes a happy life. With very good food that nobody has to die for. We left a letter and sent it to the people of the region.
“Every year about a million pheasants are bred in captivity in Denmark and released into the wild, so that insecure men, who like to kill innocent beings, can go out and shoot them for fun.
14 pheasants was taken from one of these farms a few days before they would be released, and moved to a different forest, where hunting isn’t allowed. We know of the problems with releasing animals bred in captivity into the wild, but these pheasants would be released either way. The main difference is that now they were released into a forest where humans aren’t allowed to shoot them, instead of being released on “hunting grounds”.”
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.”
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.
“In the early hours of the World day for the end of Speciesism, four animal liberation front volunteers sneaked into an egg farm and liberated twelve chickens that now live free and safe in different homes owned by vegan people.
‘The wet and cold night was our accomplice. After having reccied the location we cut the fence to get access, we crossed the farm and approached one of the most accessible barns in the farm. There, chickens slept inside of cages, with shit tiles of shit almost reaching their deformed legs, with their combs and nails destroyed. We couldn’t liberate all and we know that other hens will fill in the gaps, but at least these 12 will never be exploited again. Today they can open their wings, stretch their legs, run, jump and breathe in freedom.
To us there is no veganism without animal liberation. We must risk it all, against all odds, against all oppression. Organise, mask up and take action. Our animal friends don’t get to liberate themselves.’”
SPANISH (original): “Anarquistas Liberan 12 gallinas de un criadero.
En la madrugada del dia de “La Jornada mundial por el fin del Especismo” 4 activistas del frente de liberación Animal se escabulleron en un criadero de gallinas “ponedoras” y liberaron a 12 de ellas que ya se encuentran a resguardo en distintos hogares con personas veganas libres.
“La madrugada de lluvia y frío fue cómplice en esta acción. Luego de hacer un reconocimiento del terreno cortamos el alambrado para embarrarnos, cruzar el criadero y llegar a una de las naves más accesibles del centro de explotación. Alli estaban ellas, durmiendo enjauladas, sus heces llegaban casi a tocar sus patas deformadas con uñas y crestas largas, descoloridas. No pudimos liberar a todas, y sabemos que otras de sus hermanas ocuparán sus jaulas. Pero estas 12 no serán más explotadas, hoy pueden abrir sus alas, estiran sus patas, corren, saltan y respiran libertad.
Para nosotros no existe Veganismo sin liberación Animal. Debemos arriesgarlo todo, contra todo pronóstico contra toda opresión, organízate, encapuchate y actúa. Nuestros hermanos animales no se liberaran solos.”
“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 ”.
“In solidarity with Palestinians all across the world. No one should be imprisoned, persecuted or murdered because they are ‘othered’ by the oppressors.
We waited for the unknowing farmers to turn off their lights and go to bed, then we crept across a field and found a giant barn. A vast, concrete building with no windows. Not a sign off life to be found. We found our way into the shed where we were met with a wall of hens. Thousands and thousands of birds on metal levels. Each one, an individual, who will never get to be treated as such. Apart from the 41 hens who we were able to set free from a life of abuse. We carried them to safety, but we had to leave behind thousands of others.
Let this be a clear message to everyone reading this: we can all change the world for so many animals, we just need to plan, execute and fuck some shit up!
Some anarchists.”
