ACTIVISTS LIBERATE A CALF FROM EXPLOITATION.

24th July, Argentina

ENGLISH (translation):

“RUFI IS FREE.

This little baby, barely a month old, was tied up inside a building in a rural area, as if ‘punished’. He could barely move. The morning was just beginning, and perhaps he had escaped to the street on several occasions, which is why he was in this situation.
We had to be very quick and take advantage of the fact that no one was awake or near the place, either inside or outside the farm.
We successfully managed and quickly loaded him into the car and left, but not before covering the license plates and our faces.

Today we have the assurance and information that Rufi is now in a safe and secure shelter.

Calves in Argentina are raffled off, sold, or given away to slaughter workers who work in meatpacking plants or slaughterhouses.

These babies are often born inside the slaughterhouses themselves or on the truck on their way to hell.

And there is no law prohibiting their sale, which is why we applaud this action.

Many people rescue animals of this species alongside the police, but they must prove excessive abuse, and the animals must be in very poor condition. A lot of evidence must be gathered for the law to help these animals, which are misnamed “farm animals.”
Others choose to buy them so they won’t be killed, but that condemns many more to continue being sold by these people. Furthermore, the life of a non-human animal is priceless.
Taking direct action and removing them from these places and changing their fate, even if we run the risk, is the right thing to do, the most noble thing, what we owe them: total animal liberation.

SPANISH (original):

“RUFI EN LIBERTAD.

Este pequeño bebé de apenas un mes se encontraba atado dentro de un establecimiento en una zona rural, como “castigado” apenas podía moverse, la mañana apenas comenzaba y quizás había escapado a la calle en reiteradas ocasiones por eso se encontraba así,
Tuvimos que ser muy rápidos y aprovechar que nadie se encontraba despierto o cerca del lugar tanto dentro como afuera de la zona.
Tuvimos éxito y rápidamente lo cargamos al auto y nos fuimos de ahí, sin antes haber tapado patentes y haber cubierto nuestros rostros

Hoy tenemos la seguridad y la información de que Rufi se encuentra ya en un refugio a resguardo libre y seguro.

Los terneros en argentina son rifados, vendidos o regalados a los matarifes qué trabajan en frigorífico o mataderos,
Estos bebés muchas veces nacen dentro de los mismos mataderos o arriba del camión camino al infierno.
Y no hay ninguna ley siquiera que prohíba la venta de los mismos , por eso aplaudimos esta acción.
Muchas personas rescatan animales de esta especie junto a la policía, pero deben comprobar un maltrato excesivo, y tienen que estar en muy malas condiciones y hay que reunir muchas pruebas para que la ley ayude a estos animales mal llamados “de granja” .
Otrxs elijen comprarlos para que no sean asesinados , pero eso condena a que muchos más sigan siendo comercializados por esas personas, además la vida de un animal no humano no tiene precio.

Tomar acción directa y sacarlo de esos lugares y cambiarle el destino aúnque corramos el riesgo es lo que corresponde, lo más noble, lo que le debemos, la liberación animal total.”

ENTRANCE TO THE ZOO VANDALISED IN MEMORY OF WAKA.

September, Midlands UK.

“FUCK YOU TWYCROSS ZOO

We paid a visit to Twycross zoo, a prison notorious for abusing the animals they exploit in the name of entertainment. There’s nothing wholesome about taking your family out to gawk at mistreated animals who belong in the wild. This zoo pretends to care about ‘conservation’ but really just imprisons animals in small unsuitable enclosures so they can make money from visitors, no matter the cost to the animals trapped there.

We made our stance opposing this abuse clear, we covered the entrance of the zoo with red paint and spray painted over their signs.

Fuck you Twycross Zoo, we know what you do and have heard what’s happening when the visitors aren’t looking.

Captivity is not entertainment, empty all the cages!

We dedicate this action to Waka who fought against oppression in so many forms and gave it everything they had, we remember you and we keep fighting.”

HUNTING TOWERS DESTROYED JUST BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THE HUNTING SEASON.

September, France.

received anonymously via email:

“TO CELEBRATE THE OPENING OF THE HUNT, WE DESTROYED WATCHTOWERS.

On the nights before the opening of the hunting season in september, all over France, dozens of hunting tours were sabotaged to oppose the opening of the hunting season.

Hunters use these towers to counter any defense of the hunted animals and so we chose to destroy them out of solidarity.

Hunting is a masculinist murderous practice that harms first and foremost non-human people murdered by hunters, but also all minoritized people. It reinforces the violence of cis men. Weapons in hand, they think they control non-humans and their habitats, but also women, gender minorities and children. We act in solidarity with all forest dwellers and all other people who are damaged by the hunters.

Some figures about France:

  • 97% of French hunters are men
  • 1/4 of femicides are committed with hunting weapons
  • There is no law prohibiting children from going hunting from the age of 15, a minor can practice “accompanied hunting” from the age of 16, a minor can take his hunting license and use a weapon
  • in 2023, the State has committed to paying new aid to hunters (€60 million over 3 years)
  • More than 1.5 million euros have been distributed to the federations for various “educational” projects

Anti-speciesism is a political struggle connected to all the others. When we normalize the violence of speciesism (a system of domination based on species), we fuel racism, sexism, ableism, MOGAI phobias…

The animalization of bodies makes it possible to justify all oppressions, an “animal” body is a body that can be crushed.

We cannot envisage the total liberation of oppressed people without our non-human comrades!

The only pests are those who enjoy power and domination. Let’s eradicate their power to cause nuisance, let’s BLOCK EVERYTHING!”

WEST FLORIDA ALF REMOVES INSECT GLUE TRAPS

16th September, West Florida USA.

received anonymously via email:

“Following the first action a few years ago, work has kept up work on finding and removing insect glue traps. Three were removed in a recent outing bringing the total to about fifteen. so far. It’s funny seeing the government employees placing them in increasingly hard-to-reach areas to deter their removal. Good fucking luck.

When you go out, look to the trees. Admire their beauty and keep an eye out for white, triangular shapes. Also, hurricanes make for a great cover to go out.

ALF PESTS VISIT PEST CONTROL COMPANY IN BRISTOL.

5th June. Bristol UK.

[editor’s note: The anonymous ALF activists send two images of the action, but unfortunately they were corrupted and we have not received any other files. The image accompanying the report is unrelated.]

received anonymously via email:

“In the early hours of Tuesday 5th June, the Bristol branch of Rentokil, “the worlds largest pest control company” got visited by some uncontrollable pests, who took their time to make sure every tire was slashed on the 4 vans, then spraypainted and smashed at least one passenger window on each. Hidden away on a quiet industrial estate in south Bristol they had a surprising lack of cameras for the “the worlds largest pest control company”, any and every company that is complicit in the murder and torture of non human comrades is a target. A local shout out to the animal lib anarchists in the midlands and up north who are maintaining their attack on such targets and the liberation of comrades, let’s see some more of that down these neck of the woods! An international shout out to the ALF comrades in the Netherlands for the burning of 9 slaughterhouse trucks!

CERTAIN DAYS 2026: FREEDOM FOR POLITICAL PRISONERS CALENDAR

Once a year organisers and prisoners put together a new calendar, ”Certain Days, Freedom for Political Prisoners Calendar”, with the help of awesome artists, in support of prisoners. All proceeds goes to political prisoners and grassroots organisations.

The calendar includes wonderful artwork, interesting essays and important date from social justice history.

Certain Days has been published for several years. It is a good way to support prisoners, in a project that includes prisoners. Much of the artist in the calendars are, or has been, prisoners. Folks who read stuff that we published on Unoffensive Animal will recognise artists like Krime, and prisoners like Marius Mason, which participate in the work with Certain Days 2026.

To order a calendar, check your local info shop, or Burning Books: https://burningbooks.com/products/preorder-certain-days-the-2026-freedom-for-political-prisoners-calendar

If you wanna read more about Certain Days 2026, check out: https://www.certaindays.org/

”The Certain Days: Freedom for Political Prisoners Calendar is a joint fundraising and educational project between outside organizers in Montreal, New York, and Baltimore, and current and former political prisoners, including currently imprisoned Xinachtli (s/n Alvaro Luna Hernandez) in Texas. We were happy to welcome founding members Herman Bell and Robert Seth Hayes (Rest in Power) home from prison in 2018, and David Gilbert in 2021, each of whom spent over forty years behind bars. All of the current members of the outside collective are grounded in day-to-day organizing work other than the calendar, on issues ranging from legal aid to community media, radical education to prisoner solidarity. We work from an anti-imperialist, anti-racist, anti-capitalist, feminist, queer- and trans-liberationist position. All proceeds from the calendar go to abolitionist organizations working for a better world.”

THE ALF DESTROYS 12 HUNTING TOWERS.

14th August, Germany.

received anonymously via email:

“One Night, One Activist, and 12 Hunting Stands

On the night of August 14–15, 2025, I set out to ruin the hunters’ plans and to protect individuals from a cruel death at the hands of humans.

Seven hunting stands had been planned, which I had to leave standing on my last outing when I heard gunshots in the night.

To my frustration, I had to realize on the way that the hunting aids I had previously destroyed had been restored.

Hunters justify their killings with species and environmental protection. Yet they cause these very problems themselves by feeding wildlife in the winter, so that the animals do not migrate to other areas—if that is even possible.

This creates overpopulation, since there is enough food even in winter. The size of the herds increases the risk of disease, which is then combated with medication in the feed, resulting in weak and sick animals not dying naturally. These large herds then harm the forest, and in this way the hunters have created their own justification for killing.

To break this cycle, their tools—such as feeding racks, hunting stands, decoys, etc.—must be repeatedly destroyed so that they suffer significant financial losses and can no longer afford these schemes.

Such actions can and must also take place alone, regardless of the weather or whether friendly company is present.

As long as human animals kill non-human animals, we must fight for them and break all chains, open cages, destroy laboratories, and topple hunting stands.

With love,

ALF”

PRESS OFFICER FOR NAALPO JOSEPH BUDDENBERG RELIVES LIBERATION AT CONRAD MINK FARM 12 YEARS AGO.

via NAALPO:

“This is one of the many sheds at the Conrad Mink Farm in Keota, Iowa.

Twelve years ago today, I parked my car in a nearby cornfield and then liberated over 500 mink from Conrad.

I’ve been on nearly a hundred fur farms. All are abhorrent, every single one a desecration of nature.

This is still the most haunting fur farm I’ve ever seen. To this day, I have nightmares about this place. I saw mink crammed four to a cage. Wild animals stacked on top of each other, trying desperately to escape.

After opening hundreds of cages and watching nearly 550 mink escape the property to begin new lives, it was time to leave for another fur farm.

I jogged back to my vehicle. A mink followed me. She was mutilated and I knew she wasn’t going to make it. She stood at my feet and stared up at me. This was the moment I realized I was going to prison. I made a promise to her that I would do everything I possibly could to destroy the fur industry. I would not stop raiding fur farms until I was captured and caged myself.

This farm haunted me so much that I returned a few weeks later intending to open every cage and hopefully shut them down. I set off the newly-installed motion alarms and I was forced to flee.

As the fur industry approaches collapse, I have never regretted or rescinded my promise. And with tens of thousands of animals liberated from fur farms in the years since, many more are making the same promise I did. Fur farmers will never experience another peaceful killing season again.”
