“The pet industry have exploited this pandemic like they exploit the animals they sell. Bored and thoughtless people have demanded pets for their entertainment and the breeders have been happy to supply them. During Easter, the objectification of rabbits as things to buy or give as presents increases exponentially, so we thought to raid a pet breeder and take some comrades out.

The breeder we visited has a selection of animals but sadly we couldn’t take all of them. While the breeders slept just meters away we painted some security cameras and quietly entered a shed that housed rabbits and guinea pigs mixed together. To our surprise, a lamb was also locked in the same shed, running around the hutches.

They were confined in small spaces, in disgusting conditions and with very high ammonia smell. We grabbed a few rabbits and disappeared into the night with them. Their nails were so long they couldn’t walk comfortably and they were afraid of human touch, so it will be a long recovery for them.

They will go to loving homes with families who will see them as the individuals they are and not breeding machines or products to sell.

We dedicate this action to all the animals still imprisoned inside the vivotecnia lab and all those fighting to get them out. It has been done before and we can do it again. Break the walls of that lab, liberate those animals!

UPDATE: A few rabbits turn into many rabbits. It wasn’t surprising that female rabbits coming from that hellhole would be pregnant and we have heard that at least one of the females has given birth. There is no better feeling than knowing that those babies will never know abuse and that their mum will never again be bred.

They will only know freedom. ”

anonymous report:

“At the end of May 2021, in the department of Seine-et-Marne (77), we, antispeciesist activists, destroyed a hunting tower in broad daylight.

A few days before the beginning of the killings authorized by the state, we decided to help the inhabitants of the forest against the ones who would like to see them lose life at the tip of their rifle. For this, we have tried to locate the hunting towers in the areas that will be allowed from June 1st… after a few hours of research we saw one. We approached it seeking possible photo-traps on trees on the sourroundings. There were none. Arrived at the bottom of this solid tower of more than 3 meters high, we understood that we will have to saw the 4 feet and try to topple it. After a few minutes of work, the tower was on the floor. We are hoping that this act of solidarity with the forest inhabitants will save their life. We all know it, without their hunting towers, the shooters are less effective and more vulnerable to the defensive responses of our non-human comrades.

The purpose of this sabotage is to reduce the capacities of the hunters to kill, their finances, their available time and their spirit. Destroying what is useful for those assassins will remove what makes them powerful both physically and mentally… So take your saws, your adjustable wrenchs, and your bolts cutter … and fight alongside the inhabitants of the forest!”

“Fin juin 2021, en France, dans le département de la seine-et-marne (77), nous, activistes antispécistes, avons détruit une tour de chasse en plein jour.

Quelques jours avant le début des tueries autorisées par l’Etat, nous avons décidé de venir en aide aux habitant.e.s de la fôret contre celleux qui voudraient les voir perdre la vie au bout de leur fusil. Pour cela nous avons essayer de localiser les miradors sur les zones de chasse qui seront autorisées à partir du 1er juin… Après quelques heures de recherches nous en avons aperçu un. Nous nous sommes approché.e.s en cherchant les éventuels pièges photos sur les arbres aux alentours. Il n’y en avait pas. Arrivé.e.s en bas de cette solide tour de plus de 3 mètres de haut, nous avons compris qu’il faudrait scier les 4 pieds et tenter de la faire basculer. Après quelques minutes de travail, la tour était par terre. Nous espérons que cet acte de solidarité avec les habitant.e.s de la forêt permettra de leur sauver la vie. Nous le savons, sans leur tour de chasse, les tireurs et tireuses sont moins efficaces et plus vulnérables face aux ripostes défensives de nos camarades non-humain.e.s.
L’objectif de ce sabotage est de réduire la capacités des chass-eurs.euses à tuer, leurs finances, leur temps disponible et leur moral.

Détruire ce qui sert à ces assassin.e.s permettra de leur retirer ce qui les rend puissant.e.s tant matériellement que moralement… alors prennez vos scies, vos clés à molette, et vos coupe-boulons… et luttez aux côtés des habitant.e.s de la forêt !”

“We had never seen an intensive bird farm as disgusting as this. Birds shitting on each other whilst standing on wire mesh, a suffocating smell that we will not forget and cages so small the birds could barely stand.

The door proved to be easier than we thought. The lock took some convincing but our trusty bolt cutters were enough to access the shed. Once inside, we took 85 quails to safety.

Thousands were left behind. Crammed, exploited and forgotten, covered in spiderwebs and dust. Whoever is responsible for this shit will be hearing from us often. They don’t deserve to sleep until that fucking farm is closed down for good.

This June 11th, we remember Marius and all long term anarchists locked up in prison. Fuck the cages, fuck the justice system, fuck the cops, fuck the lot.

Now safe for life. Never to be exploited, murdered and eaten!

This action is dedicated to our comrade Rob Ennis who sadly passed away recently.”

“We decided to visit some local points of interest during our holiday to the seaside. This butcher shop took a couple of hits last year so we wanted to join the party even if we were pretty late to it. If hacking animals’ bodies to pieces isn’t bad enough, the owners of this particular “family run”, “organic”, “free range”, “blah blah blah get fucked” store hold some eyebrow-raising views on racism and police brutality, proudly displaying messages of “white lives matter” and “police lives matter” on social media. Hope these scumbags appreciated the eyebrow-raising messages of our own.

Fuck you.

“We’re taking the animals back off you animal farming scum, one by one!

Tonight we took 51 chickens from your shitty, mite-infested sheds. We rescued “your” slaves and now they’re safe and free. They won’t live out your plan: to be murdered when they’re no longer profitable to you.

We’re sick of you animal abusers – parasites; draining every last penny out of your victim’s little, depleted bodies until they’re dead.

We fucking hate you! We’ve had enough of your sick, selfish ways. We’re coming to your homes and your places of work. We’re coming for the animals and we’re coming for you! Get another job! Try earning your living not enslaving, oppressing, exploiting and murdering others.”

“We got a call saying that some rabbits were about to sneak out of cages to finally run freely under the starry sky. We decided to help them reach a safe place.

We met them in the middle of the night. They couldn’t fully trust us, being specimens of that specie wich already made them suffer so much. But they were determined to not stay locked up any more time.

We all made in to a hideout, waiting for the perfect time to leave. Meanwhile, they started to wonder around in the grass, jumping and getting more and more confident.
Chewing on local hay for the first time.

Once it was time to go, everyone got driven to a safe place to rest and start recovering, being provided fresh air, vegetables, silence and crisp water.

They are now safe and taken care of. But saying that everything went fine would be lying : we lost two freedom fighters during this process.

One person was not feeling well from the start. Their health state rapidly got worse. They passed away in the grass before we could leave the surroundings. A second person died several days later, caught back by the physical pain they went through there.

It always fill our minds with anger and sorrow when someone physically makes it out of a cage to die hours, days, months or years later because of what they went through. Obviously no one comes out of there totally healthy. Every single one of them will run into medical problems soon or later. But when someone can finally experience running around but gets denied a safe and happy life right after, it’s just heartbreaking !

Fight speciesism forever !
Fight WITH them, not FOR them !
HELP them fight, don’t take their space in their own liberation.
It’s their struggle, not ours. It’s their story not ours.
Fight the state and it’s lockdown and curfew.
Fight curfew. Fight during curfew.
Make troubles and run fast.
Every night is a call for action. Don’t ignore them.
To everyone who’s about to break free, we’ll be right on time waiting for you.
See you tonight friends.”

6th May, Mapuche Territory.

“In the Mapuche territory, in the south of Chile, a beautiful coordinated attack conducted in full day made great noise on Thursday, May 6, 2021 in the region of Araucanía. It is nothing less than eight incendiary attacks in less than 6 hours, from noon to 6 pm, against no less than 26 machines of all types (trucks, carriers, skidders) of the forest industry, On the P90 road that leads from Lumaco to Tirúa, in the fields of Los Laureles, the way to Rilún, in Rilún even and at Pishi PiCheen, operated by the company CMPC. The latter, founded in 1920, is one of the forty greatest in the country and is a major player in the paper and forest industry, which destroys and operates the forests of the large-scale zone, and is the subject of a fierce opposition by certain Mapuche groups.

This destructive attack is one of the most important in southern Chile, with that of 2017 when 29 trucks had gone in smoke in Mariquina, in the region of Los Ríos. In the midst of the cries of various state stooges who are now asking for the choice to reinstate the state of siege in the region or to involve the army to protect the forest operators-in particular because a cop who came to stop the attacks took a shot in his bulletproof vest-, this attack was claimed by the RESISTENCIA WEICHAN AUKA MAPU (WAP) group, which left a message on one of the eight sites taken for target: “freedom For Mapuche political prisoners and those of revolt. Down with the forest industry, gravel, latifundists, hydroelectric dams. Down with the Yanaconas [pejorative term that refers to the “traitors”, or the Mapuche working for the forest industry]. Marichiweu.” This last word, a well-known battle cry in Chile, means in Mapuche “ten and a thousand times we will defeat them.””

“Belgium – winter 2020 | 99 hens were liberated from an egg farm .

All tough these caged systems are prohibited in Europe from 2012, “enriched” caged are not by far better than their previous systems.

The animals at this egg farm never saw daylight, and don’t have access to clean fresh air, and a minimum of food and water. Some animals had severe leg problems, underweight and respiratory problems, their feathers in rough condition.

In two hours, 2 activists managed to liberate 99 birds and still handling the animals with respect and caution, bringing them to a safe location to recuperate and heal before send to adoption.

All now live a life free from harm at homes with excellent accommodations.”
