“On the night of Thursday, September 12, 2019, in the Paris region, we, animalist activists, destroyed a hunting tower and tagged on the ground “stop speciesism”.

The hunting towers are not directly visible by satellite images (google maps), so we spotted it by walking around fields near the edge of a wood. We then used the satellite images to verify that the spotted tower was at least 100 meters away from the surrounding dwellings, as destroying a tower makes noise and takes time.

Photo traps are sometimes placed in the trees by the hunters, so we looked for the tower and acted with masked faces.

We attacked the tower with saws with big teeth sawing at strategic locations and then finished the job by twisting the pieces to make them break.

In order to make this sabotage visible as a political act in favor of the victims of speciesism, a message “Stop Speciesism” was left on the ground with a spray can.

We wish by this report to invite all those who know that killing other animals is not a necessary act, to train themselves and take action, for the victims of speciesism.

Until the abolition of all dominations!”

“Dans la nuit du Jeudi 12 septembre 2019, en région parisienne, nous, activistes animalistes, avons détruit une tour de chasse et tagué sur le sol “stop spécisme”.

Les tours de chasse ne sont pas directement visibles par images satellites (google maps), nous avons donc repéré celle-ci en en nous baladant proches de champs, à la lisière d’un bois. Nous avons ensuite utilisé les images satellites pour vérifier que la tour repérée était bien à une distance d’au moins 100 mètres des habitations environnantes, car détruire une tour fait du bruit et prend du temps.

Des pièges photo étant parfois disposés dans les arbres par les chasseur.euse.s, nous avons repérer la tour et agit à visage masqué.

Nous avons attaqué la tour avec des scies à grosses dents en sciant à des endroits stratégiques puis nous avons fini le travail en tordant les pièces pour qu’elles cèdent.

Afin de visibiliser ce sabotage comme un acte politique en faveur des victimes du spécisme, un message “stop spécisme” a été laissé sur le sol à la bombe de peinture.

Nous souhaitons par ce communiqué inviter tou.te.s celles et ceux qui savent que tuer les autres animaux n’est pas un acte nécessaire, à se former et à agir concrètement, pour les victimes du spécisme.

Jusqu’à l’abolition de toutes les dominations !”

“After driving for hours to find some specific places without any success, we bumped into a slaughterhouse and this death truck payed all the price.

All 4 wheels pricked and destroyed windshield with some bricks we found there.

We will not tolerate violence, not in the Baske Country, not anywhere.”

“After visiting this farm a couple of times during the day to check for activity we visited the place one night and rescued two baby female goats.

After 15 minutes of walking through the night, we reached the car with the other member waiting ready and we left.

These goats will live out their lives naturally and peacefully, free from human exploitation.”

“During the night of the 11th and 12th December, in France, we, Animal Liberation Front activists, helped what we think to be hundreds of pheasants to escape from their prison.

Using cutters, we cut a large part of the net preventing them from flying away. Then we went in the end of the cage to incite them to escape through the opening we made. Seeing them disappear in the sky has touched us deeply.

We also wrote a tag to leave a mark of our passage.

We wish all of them will live happily and freely, and have a thought for all the other animals still prisoners.

Until every cage is empty.

Dans la nuit du 11 au 12 septembre, en France, nous, activistes du front de libération des animaux, avons aidé des centaines de faisan.e.s à s’échapper de leur prison.

A l’aide de cutters, nous avons découpé une large partie du filet qui les empêchait de s’envoler, puis nous sommes allé.e.s derrière elleux pour les inciter à fuir. Les voir s’échapper dans le ciel nous a profondément touché.e.s.

Nous avons également marqué notre passage d’un tag.

Nous souhaitons une vie libre et heureuse à toutes ces personnes, et avons une pensée pour tous les autres animaux encore prisonniers.

Jusqu’à ce que toutes les cages soient vides.”

“In the night from Sunday 1st to Monday 2nd of September 2019, activists have open the doors, the trapdoors and hundreds meters of fences from a “organic” chickens farm. There were 3 concentration camps confine, in total, more than 13000 chickens!

So, the chickens had a chance to run away.”

“On the night from Sunday to Monday, we worked in a broiler farm. This action – far from being an act of pure vandalism – consists in restoring stolen freedom to unjustly exploited animals. 

We are part of a social movement that fights speciesism. Speciesism supports a train of thought that establishes an arbitrary hierarchy between different species. 

Organic farming is not free of agony and death and killing with respect is nonsense. We encountered many emaciated remains in our path, while the others, in a pitiful state, were living in their own excrements. 

It is not necessary to breed and raise individuals for slaughter  (to consume their flesh). The society in which we live allows us to live perfectly on a plant based diet. It is imperative to strongly condemn the procreation and slaughter of non-human animals. This oppressive system as a whole must be stopped and/or denounced.

Let’s stop looking away and put an end to this infernal chain of torture and exploitation.”

September, Midlands UK

Received anonymously via email: 

“After driving by the farm a couple of times to check for activity we approached the barn from the rear, furthest away from the house.

This was a free range egg farm with doors running down one side of the barns which led out onto a small section of outdoor space with a mesh floor. We tried each door until we found one which was slightly loose, after a few firm kicks it gave way allowing us to crawl inside. We quickly filled our bags with 17 hens who were being exploited for their eggs. Just as we filled our last bag a team member calmly alerted us to the farmer approaching with a torch. We scooped up all of our bags and disappeared into the dark. 

These hens will live out their lives naturally and peacefully, free from human oppression.”

In the night of the 7th of september in France, a partridge farm was sabotaged and some individuals were released.

We entered the pen by sectioning the wire grid and electrified cables. The net at the top of the pen was easily and quickly cut with cutters, leaving a great opening so that the partridges could escape. We then left a trace of our visit by tagging the hangar with “ALF says hi” and “Hunters will be hunted”. We dispersed the partridges out of the hangar so that they could flee away.

They were going to be sold to hunters to be killed. The hunters are murderers, there is an urgent need to do everything we can to stop them. 

Find your local farm and open their gates, until all the other animals are free.

Dans la nuit du samedi 7 septembre en France, un élevage de perdrix a été saboté et des individus ont été libérés.

Nous sommes entré.e.s dans l’enclos en sectionnant le grillage et les fils électrifiés. Le filet surplombant l’enclos a été facilement et rapidement coupé à l’aide de cutters afin de laisser une grande ouverture pour que les perdrix puissent s’évader. Nous avons ensuite laissé une trace de notre passage en taguant le hangar : “ALF says hi” (Le Front de Libération Animale passe le bonjour) et “Hunters will be hunted” (les chasseur.euse.s seront chassé.e.s). Puis, nous avons dispersé les perdrix hors du hangar pour qu’iels puissent s’enfuir.

Iels étaient destiné.e.s à être vendu.e.s à des chasseur.euse.s pour être tué.e.s. Les chasseur.euse.s sont des assassin.e.s et il est urgent de tout mettre en oeuvre pour les arrêter.

Trouvez un élevage et ouvrez leurs prisons, jusqu’à ce que tous les autres animaux soient libres.”
