“On february 6th, the ALF dismantled 10 hunting towers around Meiningen/Thuringia in solidarity with wildlife- and forest defenders all over the world. While forests get evicted and destroyed, activists get harassed, jailed, criminalized or even killed the capitalist system and its killers & supporters have to understand we are everywhere and we are willing to fight and to destroy them.”
1st February, France.
According to mainstream press, L’Amicale des chasseurs La Perdrix cabriéroise has reported that twelve hunting stands were found destroyed. The hunters say that “the act of vandalism is a clear show of the desire to harm the hunting activities by the perpetrators”.
A complaint was logged with the police. No claim of responsibility has been received by UA.

“NO MORE HIBERNATION, UBS IS BACK!
After the main intensive cull dies off, Underground Badger Syndicate goes into semi-hibernation, like badgers, and spends less time out and more time grunting indoors to survive the winter.
We’ve had enough now and are ready to make hunters upset with our antics, and as every year, the spring trapping season is about to start and we cannot wait to see how many scumbags we can make sad this year!
Just to kickstart it, after checking on some local setts that had been fucked with by the hunt the week before, we decided to check around the main house in a very posh estate. As it was expected, we found mole traps littered all over their incredibly pristine and obviously lifeless grass field they’d call a garden.
We wasted no fucking time and pulled a total of twenty traps from the ground. Because that was not enough, we decided to nick a spade they had in their garage and made sure their green and flat excuse of a garden gained a few extra holes, mounds and imperfections.
You truly need to be a posh twat to want to kill moles. Fuck posh twats, and fuck mole killers.”

“TODAY THE M90 BEAR SONNY WAS MURDERED! A REAL EXECUTION BY THE TRENTINO ADMINISTRATION LED BY MAURIZIO FUGATTI. THE BEAR WAS “GUILTY” OF WALKING IN THE WOODS-HIS HOME-AND MEETING TWO PEOPLE. THIS WAS ENOUGH SO THAT A DECREE OF CULLING WAS IMMEDIATELY SIGNED AND A FEW HOURS LATER AN INNOCENT MAN WAS EXECUTED! IN TRENTINO A REAL MASSACRE OF PLANTIGRADES IS TAKING PLACE: FUGATTI’S NEFARIOUS PROJECT IS TO KILL 8 SPECIMENS PER YEAR!
WE WILL NOT STAND IDLY BY TO WITNESS SUCH INJUSTICE: TONIGHT WE WERE ALONG THE HIGHWAY NETWORK IN MILAN AND LEFT WRITINGS ON THE WALLS TO COMMUNICATE OUR DISSENT! OF COURSE WE WILL NOT STOP AT JUST THE WRITING! THEY HAVE DECLARED WAR ON WILDLIFE SUPPORTED BY HUNTERS AND WE WILL RESPOND ACCORDINGLY. THE ALF IS WATCHING AND THERE IS NO PLACE TO HIDE.

“During the night we visited a local dairy farm. In front of the building in which the enslaved mothercows are held, there were the calf boxes. The very little calves were kept alone in one box. The bigger ones were kept in a group of four. We started opening the boxes. We opened about 8 boxes. As soon as we opened the box of the bigger ones, three calves ran out right away and started playing with each other. We started our way home into the night. The sky were full of stars, but the view of this beautiful night sky was not as beautiful as what we would witness next.
At first we just heard a undefiniable sound, just some feet away from us. Looking around we spotted the three calves running over grass , into the fields, like they were following us. Soon they dissapeared in the darkness. We hope they had an amazing night and run far away. But unfortunately they will be caught again very likely. Thats why we need everyone to help destroy all animal abusing industries. This was just a small sabotage of a small dairy farm. But if this small action, that just takes a few minutes , will be carried out systematicaley , from activist everywhere, where animals are kept in cages/boxes, it will effectively disrupt the dairy industry. Please join us and visit your local dairy farms and open every calf box and in the best case also destroy them all.
We did this action three times within some weeks at the same dairy farm.
Until every cage and calf box is empy!!! :D”

“A new McDonald’s has opened in Copenhagen in December, and since then they have been the target of many protests and disruptions. They have also faced more direct consequences of their murderous actions, as documented in this material.
This video shows three different occasions where activists toss red paint on their store and spray paint “murder” and “meat is murder” on their windows.
Animal abusers will have no rest. It doesn’t matter if it is a small butcher or a massive murder chain like McDonald’s, none of them should ever feel safe. Not until they stop the exploitation.”

“In one cold night we visited a big factory farm that helds about a hundred thousand chickens for the meat industry, seperated in several barns. All the doors were locked, but we know theres always a way in. We discovered small openings in the wall, probalbly for ventilation. The openings had plastic covering. We just stripped them away and there was one small hole in the wall now.
One of us climbed through it and landed between thousands of small chicks. Without hesitating, the person started handing the chicks through the hole. After 4 chicks were in the transportation box, the person noticed one chick that tried to, but couldnt run away anymore. The person couldnt resist taking it with us, so it was also handed to the person packing the chicks in the transportation box. Before this libeartion, we checked the farm out and found trashcans full of dead chicks next to the farm. We didnt want the last one of the chicks end up in one of these.
So with 5 chicks we left the farm and dissapeared in the forests. The next day we brought the chicks to their new home where they can live out their life in freedom. Sadly the one chick that couldnt get up in the farm died after a few days. We are happy though, that it died in a caring home and did not end up in a fucking trashcan. We are happy that the other ones can now enjoy their freedom and that they wont end up in a slaughterhouse or trashcan.
Never hesitate to liberate. There is always a way in these torture chambers to get the animals out of there. Through axe, crowbar or drill the ALF is coming through your walls.
Compassion and Love will defeat all evil.”

“Last year the state of Victoria in so-called Australia held a public inquiry into duck shooting. The results of that inquiry saw a recommendation to ban duck shooting in Victoria given a majority vote for the ban. On the 29/01/2024, Jacinta Allan went against her own party’s recommendation and has allowed this cowardice “sport” to go ahead. Following the decision, Jacinta Allan went into hiding and has not yet made a statement. Just some little info on Jacinta, she personally supports duck shooting and her husband Yorick Piper, has been seen in photographs with Field and Game representatives.
Fortunately, Jacinta Allan cannot hide from the A.L.F and we are here to show her just what happens when you let personal factors influence political decisions that go against the people’s wishes. We adhered to passive techniques in our fight for the native waterbirds that have been slaughtered over the years to respect the course of this inquiry, but that will no longer be the case.
This time it’s personal.
Hunters and their political affiliates will be hunted.
We acknowledge that this action took place on the land of the Dja Dja Wurrung and Taungurung people. We stand in solidarity with First Nations people in their fight against colonialism.
Jacinta’s office is located at 140 Mollison Street, Bendigo East. Feel free to pay her a visit

“For weeks we saw the dairy advertising of aldi promoting organic dairy products. Those selling animal products never tell the truth about the products and about how the industry works. So we do.
Armed with spraycans, we went out in an icecold december night.
The billboard said: ” organic that goes further”
We corrected it to: “Organic that further exploits”
Under the slogan we wrote: “Cows milk is for calves not humans”
On one side wall where everyone that enters the supermarket sees it we wrote: “For (organic) dairy , cows are shiverring inside a slaughterhouse. Live vegan! “
Dairy always means exploitation and murder of innocent, beautiful beings. Organic dairy still means slavery and murder.
We have to stop the brainwashing with which the industry tries to establish a good image for animal abuse products.
Until all calves can grow up with their mother and can experience love and freedom.
Justice for all animals”
