“During the night of 19th August we visited a partridge shoot of the outskirts of Gloucester and liberated what we believe to be around 5,000 partridges, destined to be shot imminently. After weeks of surveillance of the rearing sheds, we waited until two weeks before the start of the killing season to release them. This was both to ensure that the birds were old enough to survive and to cause maximum economic damage. Our aim is to close this shoot down for good.
Due to the proximity of the farm buildings and the gamekeeper’s house, we built a barricade on the track so if the keeper came out in his vehicle we’d have time to escape should the noise of the fleeing birds wake anyone. We then opened each pen in turn by cutting the zip ties that held the fence panels together and the plastic netted roof before herding the thousands of captives into the surrounding maize and wheat fields.
We will dismantle this industry pen by pen, shoot by shoot.
Until all birds fly free.

“The UK keeps a dirty little secret. Although fur farming was banned almost two decades ago, trading fur considered as a “byproduct” is still alive and well throughout the country.
On the 24th of August we decided to expose one of the main companies still producing rabbit fur within the UK. T&S Rabbits breeds thousands of animals every month in different sites in Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Lincolnshire. They breed from chinchilla to New Zealand whites and many other breeds for their meat and fur.
They disguise the enterprise as free range and healthy, but the reality is very different. Bunnies stuck in the breeding hutches share about 1sqm between four.
We decided to target those specific breeding hutches and took four rabbits with us. Sadly, because the breeding corner was less than a hundred meters away from the farmer’s bedroom, we had to leave many more rabbits behind. The rabbits we took out of there were scared and not easy to grab. Cornering them and snatching them without hesitation but being mindful to support their backs. Rabbits can easily be shocked so be ready with a calm comfortable space with lots of snacks after your speedy escape.
They have now been distributed in safe homes and will live a life away from exploitation, but our work doesn’t end here. So many are still in that place and others like it.
Find T&S and get as many rabbits and chinchillas out of those hellholes. Make the farmers’ lives impossible. We must crush fur farming to the ground. We must end animal exploitation.
We want to dedicate this action to our comrade Matthias, still locked up (for nearly ten months now) without proof and without trial.
Until all are free. Until all prisons are destroyed. Until all chains are broken. Until all mouths are fed.
During the London Animal Rights March we released a new bit of merch and kept it a little quiet, but we are now ready to release it online!
Check our “For The Wild” zip hoodie, designed by Grisdansmavie, featuring two humans and two rabbits getting the fuck away from an animal exploitation facility in the middle of the night.
It is now available on our website alongside our sticker packs and all the other merch you know and love. We’ve attempted to stock all sizes of all designs, so if you’ve been unable to find what you wanted, it is your chance now! Because we’ve been super busy travelling and organising stuff, a helping hand is really needed, so it might be a good time to grab yourself some awesome merch and show some support.
You can find all our merch here, grab yourself something and support UnoffensiveAnimal!
A couple of weeks back we were in Switzerland talking to some folks at Hof Narr about security culture and direct action. We will upload a full report about it, but it was magnificient to meet so many people. Last week we spent a few days at the EF! Gathering and Animal Liberation Gathering in Co Durham. It is always a pleasure to meet with folks from all around the world fighting against climate change and for animal liberation. We did get one of us arrested on silly charges and quite a big group of comrades was arrested for blockading coal mines, so we will keep you updated about support if it is needed. This weekend we are in Sheffield with HeartCure giving a few talks during their Animal Liberation Gathering, so if you’re around pop by!
All this stuff isn’t the only thing keeping us busy. The badger cull is coming up very soon and alongside our comrades at Underground Badger Syndicate we are getting ready for camp and cage smashing.
As you can see, we are super busy and we really could do with support. If you want to give us a ghelping hand, consider donating to us.

“On the night of the 17th of August, 13 rabbits were helped to get free from the farm they were held prisoners in.
They were going to be murdered soon so that some humans could consume their flesh.
They were sequestered into small overcrowded cages and had never seen the sunlight. Most of them were pregnant females.
We took them far away from their torture camp. Today they feel the ground under their paws and the sun on their fur for the first time.
Our thoughts go in the first place to all the people we left behind in the camp, they are the resistants who are surviving in conditions we cannot even imagine. Our actions aren’t heroic, this is the least we can do to become accomplices of those people held prisoners.
It’s a moral duty for every antispeciesist to take action now, to take advantage of our human privilege to open all the gates.
No earthling should be imprisoned.
We have a thought for Matthias, our comrade held in Switzerland, and each activist suffering from the repression.
“This time around it isn’t a factory farm, but a fucking private house that has decided to keep a rabbit locked up in a hatch barely double their size.
As we approach the front garden we can see them moving franticly. With nothing to do, they keep ticking their head over and over. They are bigger than we expect and we have to wrestle them. After a couple of very tense minutes under the living room window, where their abusers are watching TV, they are safely put in their transporter and we walk out and into the car. They will now live in a home that will provide the space they need. They will be able to hop, run and hide, away from their prison.
As we drive away, we name them Eric. Eric has managed to escape their cage, but our comrade Eric King has been suffering in prison. Fascist screws have been throwing him in with Nazis, allowing them to kick the shit out of our comrade. The far right, fascist behaviour of the prison guards is not tolerable, from locking Eric in solitary to not allowing most letters he gets sent to even arrive and not giving him vegan food, he has certainly been having a really bad time in prison.
If you are not willing to break the law, at least support our comrades. Send love to our prisoners.
“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.
“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.”
