“1 person, no tools – but you still can smash a hunting tower because every single 1 counts!

So if you are out there in the woods stumbling across something only built to kill, smash it! Don’t walk by, make a difference & destroy the shit!

Holiday greetings from the ALF”

MCDONALDS REDECORATED, ORDERING SCREEN AND WINDOW SMASHED IN SOLIDARITY WITH ACTIVIST AWAITING TRIAL.

15th August, New Hampshire USA. 

Received anonymously via email. 

“Continuing the call to solidarity with our comrades facing trial for disrupting McDonald’s. Through September 12th, cause as much damage to as many McMurder’s as possible. This is the frontlines of animal dismemberment and commodification, and the individuals purchasing from and keeping the machine running must be shown that resistance exists and is happening in their most comforting of places, so long as that comfort is at the expense of others.

We decided to disrupt a small little town in Alton, New Hampshire USA. This small population town, who has never considered the ones they consume, was forced to confront their harmful habits at the country’s most beloved location. We managed to capture two of our many messages on camera before we left. “Fuck Meat, McMurder,” and the ALF symbol were tagged on every side of the store. Once we had our fun redecorating, we absolutely obliterated one of the menu/ordering screens and the biggest window we could find. That should ensure the message is relayed to corporate. 

If we can throw a wrench in your gears and delay your sale of bodies for just one hour; if we can cause just one customer to second guess their purchase and turn around; if we can burn just one dollar from your pocket, we will be there and we will never stop until all are free. 

Respect existence or expect resistance.

FOUR RABBITS LIBERATED FROM A FUR FARM.

3rd August, Spain.

received anonymously via email:

“On the night of the 3rd of August four rabbits were set free from cages and transported to a safe home.

This act was made as a symbolic action part of “Tu Abrigo Su Vida” (your coat, their life), the anarcho-vegan collective that will put an end to the fur industry in Spain.

This is just the beginning.

Expect us.”

HUNDREDS OF TRAPS DAMAGED, DESTROYED OR STOLEN FROM SCOTTISH SHOOTING ESTATES.

A Scottish survey run by the Gamekeepers association has shown that hundreds of hunting items were vandalised in the past year.

Fenn traps, rail traps and squirrel traps were smashed or stolen. Large mammal traps were squished or cut open. Snares taken away. A hunt vehicle was damaged to no repair (with a cost of about £25,000) by rolling it down a hill. Cat traps destroyed, GPS trackers installed in hunt vehicles and cattle grids, high seats dismantled or cut and multiple bird traps destroyed.

Dozens of call birds, crows and magpies, have also been released. Gas crowscarers cut, smashed or broken. Poison grit boxes also stolen.

No further investigation by the cops.

BADGER CULL ORGANISER’S CAR SPRAYPAINTED.

‘Anonymous comminque recieved (photo is from google and isn’t linked to this particular farm):

“Last year Paul Candy & Dan Britten killed nearly 3,000 badgers in the Somerset countryside. We noticed that Candy recieved a lot of attention on facebook and his business was targetted regularly. Paul Candy earlier this year decided to give up killing badgers.

That just leaves Dan Britten, we went round his farm and decorated one of his cars and his yard using spray paint, he should now know; we will be back.

If you kill badgers, there are consequences.

4,000-6,000 PARTRIDGE RELEASED FROM A GAME FARM.

6th August, South East UK

received anonymously via email:

“The night of the 6th of August we headed to Brightling Park and paid a visit to Jon Gaunt’s game farm. Mr Gaunt rears both pheasant and partridge as the gamekeeper of the park. 

 The pheasants were already in the release pens, but two rows of rearing pens full of partridge remained. We cut the ties that held the panel frames together and pulled the end off. Because the partridge was ready to fly, we decided to roll up all the netting, making sure that birds wouldn’t get caught and we made the birds fly away. 

 As many birds were still inside of the rearing shed, we cut the plastic walls and opened doors to give them a chance to escape. The situation in the shed was terrible, with sawdust that had never been changed, dozens of birds dead and piled up in corners and cables dangling in all directions. 

We believe to have freed in between 4,000 and 6,000 partridge in one night. We wish for those birds to have a safe flight away from the guns, and a long and comfortable life. 

We want to dedicate this action to Matthias, a comrade who has spent over eight months in preventive prison in Switzerland, accused of smashing butcher shop windows (without tangible proof) and who is very bluntly being targeted by the state in yet another show of repression. 

 Until all are free. 

 Animal Liberation Front.”

ELEVEN WILD BOAR FREED FROM HUNTING FARM.

7th August, Switzerland.

Received anonymously via email: 

“On the night of the 7th of August we liberated 11 wild individuals out of their imprisonment. These beings were abused for training for an absurd tradition.

Hunting does not protect anyone – it kills only.

The argument of regulation of numbers is just one more excuse from humans to justify the killing and the oppression.

The human species spreads out in a ruthless way, steals the natural habitat of these beings and murders them systematically.

Every life has equal value. We humans have no right and absolutely no necessity to imprison, torture and kill millions of sentient beings.

We won’t stop until every cage is empty.

No one is free until all are free. We think of our friend Matthias and hope to see him in freedom soon. Like these wild boars now.

Let the wild be wild.”

HUNTING TOWER BURNT IN RESPONSE TO THREATS BY HUNTERS.

6th August, Morschenich, Germany.

received anonymously:

“On the night of 6-7 August we set fire to a shooting tower near the village of Morschenich. Thanks to a simple fuse made from incense and matches, we were already tucked up in our beds by the time the fire took hold, but the flames warmed our hearts as we pictured the murder weapon’s destruction.

This attack is a direct response to the hunters who came to the edge of the Hambach Forest, who made threats and called the cops. You do not intimidate us. Bringing the police to the forest was a big mistake.

You say you “love” the forest – like an abuser who “loves” their victim. You cannot love the forest and destroy the lives inside it. The animals ARE the forest, as much as the trees and the plants are.
Either you take down these towers or we will. We will not stop defending nature, no matter how much you threaten us. The boats and the deer will run free and the forest will stay.

We issue a call to action. To all who believe all animals should be free to live out their lives without fear of hunters, that animals are more than just moving targets for twisted blood junkies. Get out there and destroy all the shooting towers you can find – and any other hunting junk – in any way you see fit.

Feuer auf die Jagdtürme! Feuer auf die Jagd! Feuer auf den Jagdschutz!”

THREE PIGS LIBERATED.

“We entered the pig farm at night. The stable was very dirty and full of cobwebs. The mothers were locked up in cages where they could barely take a step. They are now in safe hands and they escaped the slaughterhouse.”
