“While life in the metropolis becomes more and more difficult for human and non-human animals who try to survive in it, the mayor of athens decided to remind us this year how easily τhe states domination can destroy nature, by placing a 21 meters tree from karpenisi, in syntagma square. Under the tree and the 40,000 lights that illuminated it, uniformed bastards were placed in order to preserve the “festive atmosphere”. After all, they had every reason to be afraid, since on December 5, a cop literally performed his duty by shooting the 16-year-old Roma Kostas Frangoulis, a day before the anniversary of the murder of the 16-year-old anarchist Alexis Grigoropoulos.

The festive atmosphere continued in the municipality of Volos, since real non-human animals were used as accessories to decorate two nativities in the area. Non-human animals have once again been exploited in the name of customs and tradition.

They were sold in pet shops as christmas presents, they became a spectacle of a festive program in the attica zoological park’s prisons, they were abused by the dairy industry and the shelves of the supermarkets were filled with special chocolates, cheese, etc. and were taken to slaughterhouses by the thousands so that their bodies could take a central place at the christmas table.

So we, influenced by the festive atmosphere, could not resist and visited some supermarket in Athens. We destroyed some of the most expensive christmas packages of animal products, making it impossible to sell them, causing a loss of a few hundred euros. This move was the minimum act of opposition to animal farm structures. After all, we still have a long way to go until the total destruction of speciesism.

Until every cage is empty.

“Butyric Acid is a effective liquid to stop people from paying to see animals in prisons, when poured over entrance and cash desk. Stop to finance such violance in zoos! Animals are not here to gape at!

So we reached out to remember them to respect all beeings. Close the Zoo Wilhelma, and all other animal prisons!

Until every cage is empty!”

“it’s a good thing animal safe havens and wildlife rehabbers talk. we got word of a few mink infected with the deadly and contagious aleutians disease. we cared for these animals in their dying weeks, carefully saving the feces and urine.

we then bypassed security measures and entered the zimbal’s mink farm locations at 6437 abraham ct, sheboygan falls, wi 53085 and 9532 sauk trail rd,  oostburg, wi 53070 and sprayed down the cages with urine and infected the feed supply with a liquid mix of feces and urine.

zimbal farms are said to be the largest mink slaughterhouses in so called north america with up to 240,000 mink imprisoned. aleutian disease is highly transmittable, and once a farm is

infected, it spreads rapidly through the mink population. the only ethical (and profitable, if you don’t have ethics) thing to do would be to dispose of the food supply, disinfect the entire property and destroy all exisiting cages and never reopen.  go grow some vegetables.

fur is a disgusting and dying industry. close your farms and figure out how to actually be a contribution to the community.”

“In May of this year, the anarchist prisoner Alfredo Cospito was transferred to the 41bis isolation regime.

The torture method of sensory deprivation aims to break his rebellious spirit and silence him. In order to achieve the removal of his isolation conditions, our comrade began an indefinite hunger strike on October 20. On December 1st – on the 42nd day of the hunger strike – a review of the conditions of detention decided to continue the torture procedure. If the Italian fascist state persists in its practice of isolation, Alfredo may not see the end of this year. But his death will not be a suicide: it will be the murder under torture of a vengeful political judiciary.

Let’s prevent this murder

The most passionate form of revolutionary solidarity is to continue the struggles for which our comrades are behind bars. It was in this spirit that on December 11, during a night-time sabotage action, we went to a pylon of the Fessenheim-Paris extra-high voltage line and unscrewed the bolts. The pylon is still standing, but its stability is clearly compromised. May our revolutionary anger act in alliance with nature, and may a winter storm do the rest!
Alfredo has always been able to tie the question of social revolution with that of ecology and, through his words and deeds, connect the ecocidal plundering of our planet with the struggle against the dominant powers, exploitation and oppression. In his statement on the kneecapping of the Italian nuclear industry leader Roberto Adinolfi (ansaldo nucleare) and later in various statements during the trial for the scripta manenta case, he described the need to anchor a revolutionary perspective in the anti-nuclear movement. In a valuable contribution to the debate, he also spoke in 2018 about the struggle against the CIGÉO project for the burial of nuclear waste in the French village of Bure in Meuse. Referring to the idea of diversity of tactics practiced there, he suggests an intensification of the forms of struggle that are chosen. This is one of the contributions that were later used to justify the tightening of his detention conditions.

As such, we wish to take back up this idea and to continue it following the thread of informal organization and of permanent attack towards all the dominant infrastructures that, in our opinion, have already put us in permanent cages. And this, without dissociating from the strategies that attack the physical integrity of targeted people, as was done for Roberto Adinolfi; not with a strategic document composed of empty words and pompous revolutionary phrases, but by the practical application of direct action.

The power line we attacked was not chosen at random. It is precisely the 400,000 volt line that will in the future supply electricity to the useless and controversial CIGÉO industrial project. At the same time, close to the Cigéo site, the public network operator RTE is planning to build a transformer station on an area the size of 20 soccer pitches, which will be able to satisfy the nuclear monster’s thirst for energy. The Declaration of Public Utility of this summer creates all the legal conditions allowing the expropriation of the necessary lands for this purpose.
The form of action we have chosen involves considerable risks. That is why we will soon publish a new communique with some technical instructions allowing to carry it out as safely as possible.

A warm embrace across seas, borders and walls.
For all prisoners in struggle!
Solidarity means attack!

Rage, Transmissions and Riots

Pylon Disconnection Service of all kinds.”

December, Germany.

According to pro hunt magazines, multiple attacks on hunting infrastructure have taken place in the month of December.

In Bavaria, an unknown group of people toppled a hunting tower, dismantled it, set it alight and then cooked a meal using the embers. They left the pan behind when they were finished.

In Lower Saxony, five hunter’s cars had their tyres slashed whilst they were out shooting in the mountains. Whilst nobody claimed the action, the only vehicles targeted in the parking spot were the ones owned by hunters.

In Nordholdz another tower was targeted, using branches to break the windows and doors, then toppling the tower and leaving behind fences and rotting flesh for the owner to find.

No suspects have been identified for any of the actions.

ENGLISH:

“The biggest slaughterhouse in Europe is in Binefar, Huesca, where 30,000 animals are killed ever single day.

The vast majority of the animals killed come from farms in Lleida and Huesca, and the flesh is then exported to China and Northern European countries.

This week, we entered the buildings and sabotaged the electricity boxes that service the fridges and the curing rooms, stopping the production.

We continue with the #HoHoHoChallenge.

We will keep causing economical damage to all ecocidal corporations until the government stops paying subsidies to the animal industry and until they start funding social and ecologically responsible alternatives based on vegetables.

SPANISH:

“El macromatadero de Binéfar, en Huesca, tiene capacidad para matar hasta 30.000 animales al día.

La mayoría de su producción, proveniente de granjas situadas en Lleida y Huesca principalmente, se exporta a países del norte de Europa y China.

Esta semana, hemos entrado en sus instalaciones y saboteado el sistema eléctrico de las cámaras frigoríficas y los túneles de oreo, paralizando la cadena productiva durante horas.

Seguimos con el #JouJouJouChallenge.

Y seguiremos provocando daños económicos a las corporaciones ecocidas hasta que el gobierno acceda a su demanda: dejar de subvencionar la industria cárnica y fomentar las alternativas social y ecológicamente responsables basadas en vegetales.

“Because their lives should never have be seen as anything other than their own. Because taste or tradition does not justify spilling a single drop of blood, or a single cry. Because legal does not equal moral

What will it take for you to not only stop participating in supporting these cruel and barbaric industries, but to actively start fighting against oppression and injustice, to stand up for what is right? As literally trillions of animals are being tortured, exploited, and sent to their deaths every year? What else will it take for you to join the fight against speciesism? Are you angry enough yet??”

“scholten farm and feed supply, at 260 139th ave in wayland michigan, recently woke up to the jubilation of 4,000 mink getting their first taste of freedom.

scholten farms has concrete walls surrounding their mink prisons, but 4 ramps were built (with their own materials) and lots of mink treats were laid along the ramps to entice mink out of the enclosure.

the mink killing machine was located and destroyed. the pvc water pipes that connect to each shed were dislodged and destroyed. to ensure this place closes, all 10 vehicles (including farm equipment) on property were sabotaged, by putting bleach, water, and sand in gas tanks and oil reservoirs.

free all prisoners and give the land back.”

“It is cold outside and the snow makes a crunching noise under our feet. We know our way around the campus, but leaving footprints behind is a bad idea so we decide to change our route. Two people assume their lookout positions whilst another three approach the trusty window we have been checking for months. It is open, like it has been before, but there is a problem. Someone is on the other side, oblivious to our presence.

What kind of animal abusing scum works at 2am so close to Christmas? We retreat annoyed. When we regroup we decide that someone busy at work might not be too bad after all. It means there is no alarms in place and we just need to take our chance when it comes. We reposition the lookouts and wait. The person takes a smoke break, which lasts less than ten minutes. We decide to go for it if it happens again. More than an hour passes when one of the lookouts let us know it is action time, so we pop the window open and climb fast. Without alarms, we don’t need to worry about the doors, so we walk directly to the room. It is disgusting, the smell of urine invades our eyes and noses. We make use of a couple of drawers piled in a corner and scoop out as many rodents as we have homes for, plus a few extra. Have you ever tried to count animals that are piled up in drawers?

It has not taken more than a couple of minutes and we are climbing back out through the window. There is a collective giggle at seeing a Santa dressed comrade passing drawers full of animals through the open window. In hindsight, we didn’t need to come dressed to impress!

In total over 100 rodents were taken to freedom, and they will no longer be just a number, just profit, just a tool. They will know love and freedom from now on.

We dedicate this action to the Atlanta Forest prisoners, locked up for sitting in tree houses to oppose the construction of a police training city.

We also dedicate this action to Mel. The fight goes on.

Lastly, we want to send our most sincere love to Ladislav, we hope your day of freedom is as fruitful as it was for these mice.
