“Imprisoned in cage 1 meter from the ground, the hens were forced to survive standing on plastic grills.
Without light and very little oxygen in a dirty and dusty barn, one of them was found dead.
They were looking for comfort in each other, this remarks clearly their will: they do not want to be imprisoned and abused. They want to be free. They want to live.
Free-range is a Lie.”

“Recently we took a hammer and a spray can to the streets of Brighton, UK. We are tired of all the cops and speciesist shit out there.
After writing some much needed messages such as “Don’t talk to cops” and “meat is murder” we too out our rage on the Pizza Hut’s windows. This is a call to action: don’t let lockdown hold you from a smashing time. Brin down these animal exploiting business whilst maintaining social distancing, specially from cops!
We dedicate this action to all the prisoners. Until every cage and cell is empty.”

“SOLIDARITY SMASHING
We read the news that some folks were charged with aggravated trespass for sabbing a shoot in Pangdean Farm near Brighton. Because we hate the hunting scum, the cop scum, the judge scum, the justice system scum and basically anyone who puts profit over everything else, we decided that Pangdean Farm deserved a little visit.
Straight to the pheasant pens and in we go with a shooting tower, a Larsen, two Fenn Traps and a fox trap – with a fucking starved to death fox inside. We decided to keep their dignity intact and not photograph them.
After destroying all the traps we could find, we let the pheasant pen fall by breaking the corner posts and kicking the fencing down. Some holes in the mesh will ensure they need to reinstall the whole lot if they want to use it again.
Let this be a warning. We might not know the comrades who were charged, but we stand alongside them because they too fight against the hunt scum. If they go down for doing what’s right, this shoot will have to be visited again, and again, as many times as it is necessary.
Shoots are the vilest of the vile, breeding millions of animals into existence and killing any others that get in their way, purely for profit and greed. Get active to fuck them up.
For the wild!

On the 19th of August in 2018 activists entered a fur farm during a protest in Hjo, Sweden. 5000 mink were freed from their cages. You can see in the video with what ease and speed so many beings were released from their tiny metal cages. Activists also covered the farmers home in stickers. The farmer, Knut Indebetou, not only tortures mink but also raises hundreds of thousands of chickens for slaughter.
In the hit report activists made it clear that this it was “not the first time he has been targeted and it will not be the last!” They also provided this handy contact info. “If you want to adress you concerns, Contact:

According to Slagteren ved Kultorvet, a butcher shop in Copenhagen, the windows were painted red overnight making their trade “even more difficult” through the pandemic.

According to media reports, Bellefiled pheasant shoot in Warrington, Cheshire, was set alight. The fire burnt pheasant feeders, power generators, chainsaws and other tools as well as four wooden cabins. The estimated damage accounts for about thirty thousand pounds worth of damage. The filth is investigating it as an arson.
After receiving a six month sentence and a fine wrongly accused of assault at a fur farm demo in Falkenberg, Richii appealed the case. The court of appeal did not allow him to be present during the case, excusing themselves on “safety precautions” when in reality they did not want a mass of people showing solidarity outside and the media picking up on a story they are already pretty interested in. The Court of Appeal made the decision to reduce Richii’s sentence by two months, having to serve four months in prison and pay the 30000 SEK (2750EUR) fine.
We will update Richii’s address once there is one to be able to send letters, but for now you can help by sending money to cover the fine. You can use any of this three methods:
Swish: 123 013 42 13
Paypal: [email protected]
Bankgiro: 5310-2174
We’ve just sent 5000SEK as that’s as much money we had in the accounts. It would be amazing if other folks could also donate (even if it is just 10EUR!). Let’s ensure that Richii feels supported and let’s ensure that anyone fighting for a better world knows that we have their back. Donate a few coins and send us a PM via Instagram with a screenshot so we can post it on our stories creating a trail of folks showing solidarity and encouraging more people to do the same. Solidarity is our weapon.
We should mention that we are terribly thankful to everybody that has bought merch and joined patreon or sent some money to PayPal. That’s the only reason we are able to send 4-500 quid to someone that needs it straight away. So to all our supporters, thank you very much.
Now go out and encourage others to donate towards the support fund for Richii! Let’s cover that fine in 24 hours!
UNTIL WE WIN.
