“OVER THE HEDGE WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT!

Op Easter Bunny, 17th April 2022

When we heard that the Rutland rabbits at the T&S Farm had been found we decided to join the surprise demo. The idea was simple, come dressed in black with animal carriers, on Easter Sunday, and stage a demo in front of the many families walking around the nature reserve. When we arrived it was to the beautiful sight of a fully masked black bloc. While it was clear that people were there for a peaceful demo there was an atmosphere of wanting more.

A few jumped over the fence and soon it was a tidal wave of people suddenly willing to do more than stand on the sidelines. We wanted to see those rabbits, we wanted to show others the abuse they were enduring, the mistreatment that Phil inflicts on them. Even with the sound of sirens getting closer there was no turning back, we would not abandon the rabbits. We b-lined through the site and past the static homes and straight to the tiny hutches were the rabbits waited.

When we arrived there, everything changed. Those rabbits were living in tiny hutches, skin and bones, infested with mites, some clearly ill. We couldn’t just bare witness abandoning them behind. How could we leave them awaiting their certain death? We wanted those rabbits to be safe and not murdered and skinned as Phil Kerry had planned for them.

Into the carriers and we were running. The cops had arrived but with our precious cargo we all had to try. Our hearts broke as we saw some people getting grabbed by the filth, some who had not even stepped foot on site, but we kept going, we had to give these rabbits a chance.

Adrenaline was high and the carriers were heavy but we made it and saw others did too.

Thirty rabbits that day made it out, they will live long and happy lives in good homes. There was such power in what happened this Easter Sunday, there was messiness and arrests and mistakes but there was such boldness. There was a job to do and people got it done. The beauty of a crowd autonomously taking action, the strength of it.

We don’t know who else was there but we hope you know we love you. And to those of you who left in the back of a police van we hope you know that many rabbits made it out who wouldn’t have without you.

The glory days of animal liberation are not behind us, they are in front of us, they are now if we make it happen.

Love, rage, solidarity and freedom to the T&S Rabbits!

22nd March, Rheinland Germany

According to local police, multiple towers in Rheinland were vandalised. The activists sawed down the stairs used to climb to the top of the stand, leavcing very little trace, for them to break when a hunter were to climb up.

No one was injured after the action as someone realised the towers had been damaged.

The police has no leads on who the culprit is.

8th April, La Hogette, France.

According to local media, the hunting association in la Hogette (Calvados) has illed a complaint with the gerndarmerie due to thirty hunting stands being sawed down and destroyed in their grounds.

They claim that the hunting stands are a safety meassure in order to shoot downwards to kill wild boar. They also complained that they will end up having to pay upwards of 1.4 million EUR to the agricultural farmers in the area this year if they are unable to “control the population”.

Whilst the police is suspicious of a large operative of saboteurs, they do not have any leads relating to the action.

April, Thuringia Germany

According to local press reports, a hunting tower in Thuringia was destroyed by two people, causing around 100 EUR worth of damage. The police is investigating if the damages are related to other hunting towers and seats that were destroyed in the past months in the same area.

“Activists went to a farm to invesitgate and document the conditions of egg laying hens. 

After witnessing the horrendous conditions the animals live under, they dicovered a storage of eggs on the farm.

The machines for packing eggs were sabotaged and the storage of thousands of eggs was completely destroyed.”

“On March 27th, 2022, 50 whitetail deer were given access to freedom by dismantling the electric fence and cutting the deer fence that confined them at Sweetwater deer farm in Bristol, Florida. We watched as at least 20 of them escaped into the night, and it was a beautiful sight.

Let the wild be wild!

Against all prisons, both human and non-human.

“Today, the 24th March 2022, Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, along with the fascist DUP’s Agriculture Minister, Edwin Poots, announced that they have green lit the proposed badger cull. This comes just days after the headline news in the United Kingdom of yet another group of researches finding that the culling of badgers is an inhumane and inefficient method of reducing cases of Bovine Tuberculosis.

The proposal itself was essentially a sweetener for the farmers of the north; who had been, up until Brexit, been getting 100% compensation for each reactor cow. Now that we’ve left the EU, that money has dried up and the farmers have been expected to accept a cut. Badgers are being scapegoated here. Farmers have been let down by DAERA and Edwin Poots for years with inadequate tests. This badger cull won’t bring them the hassle-free days that they are expecting.

We, the Animal Rights Militia of Ireland, call on Edwin Poots and DAERA to backtrack on the cull or face serious resistance. We will no longer stand by and let our native Irish wildlife be tortured by people who deny science. Edwin Poots, a religious fundamentalist, has denied rights to many various groups of humans over the years and is now doing the same to the animals that inhabit the north of Ireland too!

Enough is enough! ARM Ireland, and our Ulster Company in particular, will have boots on the ground to ensure that no cull takes place in the zones outlined in the proposal documents, of which we have acquired. 

We would like to make DAERA and Edwin Poots aware that they are putting contractors lives at risk by offering them the job of culling badgers. Force WILL be met with force. Contractors will be publicly outed and should they harm one singular hair on an animal, they will face whatever consequences we see fit. No action is off limits. We will no longer be bullied by fascists (Loyalist, Eco or otherwise!)

Think carefully.

Delayed report, November 2021, Italy.

According to local media, William Baccini’s hunting lodge was visited by the ALF last year. Taking advantage of the fact that the family home was empty for the night, a group of people entered the building, destroyed all furniture, TV and windows, made holes on the roof using a pick axe, freed over fifty decoy birds and after dousing the place with gasoline, left the building with three rifles that then were decomissioned and abandoned in the woods.

William is head of the “Hunting and Tradition” group, an association of hunting groups who attempt to lobby the government in Italy as well as being very vocal about animal rights activists.

William had set up wildlife cameras outside the abode in fear of attack, but all he got was some blurry photos of masked, hooded up individuals.

“This month we sabotaged card slots of Wells Fargo and Bank Of America in Center City, Philadelphia. This attack was done in solidarity and complicity with those disrupting the construction of a police training grounds in Atlanta. Cops in Atlanta want to cut down a forest to build a mock city to practice squashing uprisings. In response, individuals are occupying, protesting, and sabotaging. People have started staying in the forest and fucking with the construction. The Atlanta Police Foundation is being funded by Wells Fargo and Bank Of America. We are excited to hear about construction workers being chased out and construction vehicles being messed up.

As proponents of self-directed revolt we decided to target the banks contributing to building the cop city. We hope that by communicating our action others feel encouraged or inspired to attack and disrupt the social order in their own context. While it would be preferable if the police project in Atlanta collapsed, for us destruction is an end in itself. We take pleasure in disrupting capital.

Our sabotage involved collecting plastic cards, which we cut into thirds. The purpose of this was to prevent the cards from easily being removed. Before going out we wiped down the pieces with gloves on and dressed anonymously. We inserted the pieces into atm and door card readers after putting a strip of super glue onto them. One benefit of this action is that it fucks up the machine without making a lot of noise or seeming out of place. We feel this is relevant to point out because the cop city is an example of the police preparing for mass unrest and we feel it is strategic to be able to act discreetly in light of increasing policing and surveillance.

Fuck cops
Fuck banks and money
Solidarity and complicity with the feral anarchists in Atlanta
Death to civilization
Long live anarchy
Chaos forever”
