“Report from Strathmore, Alberta, Canada:

Animal rights Activists beautifully redesigned the exterior of a massive chicken harming facility. We acted in solidarity with the animals and other groups of activists in an attempt to resist the significant repression activists are currently facing under the regime of Jason Kenney (the premier of Alberta).

The recently proposed ‘Bill 1: Critical infrastructure defence act’ criminalizes nearly every form of peaceful protest, directly contradicting the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. If this Bill passes, activists who engage in peaceful trespassing, blockading, or interference against ‘critical economic infrastructure’ OR aiding anyone who chooses to do so would be liable for up to $10,000 in fines and 6 months in prison even as a first time offender. This Bill also grants ‘peace’ officers the ability to arrest protestors without a warrant. Before even announcing the Bill, it had passed its first reading with a second reading scheduled for the next morning. Bill 1 was a direct response to the Wet’suwet’en solidarity blockades, but it affects us ALL.

Just months prior to its proposal, Jason Kenney introduced a similar Bill which targeted animal rights activists who trespass onto rural property for the purposes of exposing speciesism or aiding animals towards liberation. That Bill passed in 10 days.

We vandalized this place of extreme violence because Jason Kenney told us not to, and because NO ONE is free until ALL are free.

Fuck your ag gag laws. Fuck Bill 1. Fuck fascism.”

“UK lockdown was announced just hours before we were due to set off. What to do? We had planned another rescue in Lincolnshire already and loving homes were waiting. After careful consideration we decided that with only 2 activists (who had already had contact) we could afford one more venture without increased risk of spreading the virus to anyone vulnerable. The only increased risk we could see was that of our liberty if we were caught; that was a risk we were willing to take in order to save lives.

Under the cover of darkness, we drove to our target, feeling very aware of the increased volume of cop cars at the side of the road. Our greatest fear was being pulled with the animals on board before we could get them to safety. Luckily, the cops did not pull our car.

We knew this location well, it was our third visit this week. Each time we had been careful to leave no trace of our visiting, thus enabling a return to the same target. We couldn’t help but wonder if the scum who abused these animals had noticed that 71 chickens had now been liberated from the hell hole in which they were kept.

Knowing the place well made this a quick and easy rescue. We had found homes for 16 more hens, so we quickly collected 16 from the shed and took them back to the car.

The remainder of the night involved driving round and delivering these hens to their new homes (with no human contact).

Thank you to everyone who is able to provide homes for liberated animals, we could not do this without you.”

“After extensive planning using satellite imagery, we had located some barns typical of egg farms in Derbyshire, UK. For this location, we had to park on a country road and cross many fields by foot.
After reaching the target, we figured out the best point of entry, and 2 climbed in whilst one stayed outside as lookout.

As two of us jumped through the hatch, inside the shed our breath was taken away by the overwhelming stench of ammonia. We were shocked at the poor state of those birds… we’d never seen such pitiful looking chickens – they were naked and thin. One of us scooped up the birds quickly whilst the other arranged them comfortably in the carriers. When the carriers were full my mate called ‘that’s it’… ‘one more!’ I replied, unable to bring myself to leave them, I grabbed the saddest looking chicken and we left with 32.”

“Tonight was our second visit to this location in Lincoln. With just two of us tonight, we had put careful planning into how we could take the maximum number of lives we could carry.

We encountered few obstacles upon entry and were able to save 29 lives.

When leaving the area, we sighted a human on their phone, close to the site. This was a strange sight at this time of night. Were they calling the cops? We didn’t hang about to find out!

All 29 chickens are now living life as they should. They are now truly free-range (as opposed to the pathetic excuse for free-range they previously experienced), their eggs are eaten only by themselves, their bare raw skin will start to heal and, most importantly, they will not be exploited and killed.”

“After much time spent looking through maps, we had identified a ‘free-range’ egg farm that we couldn’t not pay a visit to.

With the exception of an electric fence, which was easily crushed under-foot, we encountered few obstacles upon entering the site.
We undid the latches to the large shed, and two of us climbed in whilst the other two remained outside, keeping lookout and passing through the carriers we had brought with us.

Inside, the stench of ammonia was unbearable. We found our breathing was noticeably different after only a short while in there, and yet these chickens were densely packed in there. This was what they got to call home.

We quickly loaded as many as we could into the carriers, later counted as 26. 26 lives saved. They are now living happy, free lives at an animal sanctuary.

Without animal sanctuaries and individuals who are able to home these animals, we would not be able to liberate them. Please support your local sanctuaries, and if you find yourself with a free night, you know what to do…”

“In a capitalist society, money has power.

When you encounter a butchers shop, full of the bodies of innocent animals that have been murdered, what else to do?

Hit them and hit them hard.

By destroying these places, we not only give them a financial hit, but this has the knock on effect of delaying business, eventually maybe even putting them out of business. It also sends a clear message. You fuck with the animals, and we will fuck with you.

Four activists arrived by car (with a doctored numberplate) into the small town in which the scummy butchers was located. Armed with spray paint and tubs of gloss paint, we parked down a back alley and made our way towards the target. We couldn’t believe our luck when we realised the butcher’s van was parked on the road we had chosen!

Even with extensive planning, we had to hide in the shadows to avoid some late night locals, before we crept round to the front of the shop.

The gloss paint was thrown over the walls and we had fun ‘decorating’ the exterior with slogans that would have left the scum with a very clear message.

As we ran back to our vehicle, we did of course stop at their van for round two.”

“Whilst out and about a ladder trap was discovered under the cover of woodland. Clearly the gamekeeper had been having a lot of success here as carcasses of many shot birds were found. One crow was still alive but most likely only hours from suffering a similar fate. We released them, and watched them fly to their freedom, before we returned to smashing the trap and causing as much damage as we could.

Whilst we know that this action alone won’t bring the shooting to an end, we hope to have sent a clear message to the scum – the torturing and killing of wildlife will not be tolerated and we will continue to protect those who can’t protect themselves.”
