LAMBS RESCUED BEFORE EASTER

3rd April, Eure, France

received anonymously via email:

Breaking into a farm, opening the cages and taking out the victims is an evidence, and on this Saturday, April 3, day before Easter, justice has been done for seven of our sisters and brothers, prisoners of one of these subsidized concentration camps.

But if for seven of them freedom has been given, for billions of others it is violated daily.
Humans, who can’t find a member of their own species free of vice and perversion, designate one of the most innocent animals as the representative of this purity that seems beyond their reach: the lamb.

Through religions, impregnated with speciesism and revolting hypocrisy, he establishes murder among humans as a sin, but consecrates the barbaric murder of a harmless animal as repentance for all his sins. To shed blood of a newborn baby can’t be an act of goodness, and if in fiction, the sacrifice of this innocent is synonymous with absolution for humanity, the reality of its cruel murder can only be one more proof of the psychopathic perversion of this humanity.

And this same reality, proof of our supremacist ideology, by giving birth to these lambs, by sequestering, mutilating, torturing and slaughtering them, places them as victims and not as privileged ones of a holy sacrifice.

We must opening cages and sheds, breaking the chains of the world’s breeding farms. But for this, many of us will be needed, passivity in front of this holocaust must end, and direct and radical action for liberation must emerge.

More we can be to mobilize against their prison situation, less the speciest repression will reach us.

The fight against animal husbandry and all humanist abuses will be done, whatever happening, joining the animalist resistance is a moral duty.

And if the specieist religious tradition pushes us to the murder of all these innocent people, morality conjures us to give them the freedom they deserve.

The right to freely dispose of one’s life is inalienable for every sentient individual. As long as there are cages, we will be there to open them.

SAUVETAGE AGNEAUX AVANT PÂQUES,

Eure, France, Samedi 3 Avril 2021.

S’introduire dans un élevage, ouvrir les cages et en sortir des victimes n’est qu’évidence, et en ce samedi 3 avril, veille de Pâques, justice a été faite pour sept de nos soeurs et frères, prisonnier.ère.s d’un de ces camps de concentration subventionnés.Mais si pour sept d’entre elleux la liberté a été rendue, pour des milliards d’autres, elle est bafouée quotidiennement.L’humain, qui ne saurait trouver au sein de sa propre espèce un.e membre exempt de vice et de perversion, désigne alors un animal des plus innocents comme représentant de cette pureté qui lui semble hors d’atteinte : l’agneau.Par les religions, imprégnées de spécisme et d’une hypocrisie révoltante, il établit le meurtre entre humain.es comme péché, mais consacre le meurtre barbare d’un animal inoffensif comme repentance pour tous ses péchés. Verser le sang d’un nouveau-né ne peut être un acte de bonté, et si dans la fiction, le sacrifice de cet innocent est synonyme d’absolution pour l’humanité, la réalité de son assassinat cruel ne peut être autre qu’une preuve supplémentaire de la perversion psychopathique de cette humanité.Et cette même réalité, preuve de notre idéologie suprémaciste, en faisant naître ces agneaux et agnelles, en les séquestrant, mutilant, torturant et massacrant, les placent en victimes et non en privilégié.e.s d’un saint sacrifice.Nous nous devons d’ouvrir les cages et hangars, de briser les chaînes des élevages du monde entier. Mais pour cela, nombre d’entre nous seront nécessaires, la passivité face à un tel holocauste doit prendre fin, et l’action directe et radicale de libération doit émerger.Plus nombreuses et nombreux nous serons à nous mobiliser contre leur situation carcérale, moins la répression spéciste nous atteindra.Le combat contre l’élevage et toutes les dérives humanistes se fera, quel qu’en soit le prix, rejoindre la résistance animaliste est un devoir moral.Et si la tradition religieuse spéciste nous pousse au meurtre de tout.es ces innocent.e.s, la morale, elle, nous conjure de leur rendre la liberté qu’ils et elles méritent.Le droit à disposer librement de sa vie est inaliénable pour tout individu sentient. Tant qu’il y aura des cages, nous serons là pour les ouvrir.

BUTCHER SHOP TARGETTED BY THE ALF IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE BRISTOL RIOTERS.

4th April, Bristol UK.

received anonymously via encrypted email:

“In the early hours of the 4th of April we paid a visit to the butchers shop in Hanham, Bristol. Every available shutter,door and wall was painted with slogans such as “scum” “ALF” “go vegan” and “meat kills”.

A small side window was also gleefully smashed! We can’t fully comprehend the pain and suffering animals go through on farms and in slaughterhouses so instead we take action for them. Together we can bankrupt animal abusers and create a better world.

Action dedicated to the Bristol rioters – hurt cops not animals!

ALF”

PIZZA RA-T EVICTION

We’ve been eagerly watching people fight back against the English governments push to increase police powers. Their blatant attempt of mass repression has not been taken lying down. As the powers that be are trying to snuff out protest it seems they’ve instead ignited the flames. Hunt saboteurs, travellers, feminist collectives, blm and so many other groups are pulling together to fight back. Today we thought we’d highlight this creative action.

On the 23rd of march rats from @resisting.anti.tresspass squatted a Soho pizza restaurant. They did so in an act of protest against the ‘Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill’ which seeks to criminalise tresspass in the UK. They made and distributed free pizza to the community despite receiving constant police harassment.

On the 25th of march, after the fabrication of a ‘gas leak’, riot police forced entry, beat people unconscious and arrested the four people inside.

Long live the rats and everyone’s right to access the land.

A DOZEN GLUE TRAPPING LOCATIONS AND HUNTING STATIONS DESTROYED

February, Marseille France

via: BitebackMagazine

In February, a dozen glue-trapping* locations and hunting stations were destroyed in a single night in and around Marseille. A couple weeks earlier, similar vandalism was reported in Vaucluse and Var. According to media reports, anti-hunting messages and the ALF logo was found on site.

*In March 2021, the barbaric practice of trapping birds on glue-covered sticks was declared illegal by the European Court of Justice.

EGG LAYING HENS LIBERATED

25th December, Argentina.

received anonymously (translation):

“Liberation of chickens in Argentina. A night out for normal people (Christmas) in which they celebrate with murdered animals on their plates, I, abnormal, anonymous, took advantage of the alienation of those celebrations to join in the celebration by entering a center of kidnapped chickens used as slaves to produce eggs, and be consumed by horrible people who make those places exist. I celebrated by entering, laughing in the face of fear, mocking its construction, and the norms of inaction, and I took several slaves, who are now no longer slaves, now they are alive. They are not, nor will they be used for a human purpose, celebrate! because animal liberation is direct and immediate when you want it!”

Spanish:
“Liberacion de gallinas en argentina. Una noche de fiesta para la
gente normal(navidad) en la que celebran con animalxs asesinades en sus platos, yo une anormal anonime aprovecho su alienacion con esas celebraciones y tambien festejo!, entrando en un centro de secuestro de gallinas usadas como esclavas para que produzcan huevos, y sean consumidos por gente horrible que hace que existan esos lugares. festejo!entrando, burlando el miedo, burlando sus construcciones, y burlando la norma de la inaccion y me llevo varias esclavas,
que ahora dejaron de serlo, ahora son vidas, que no son, ni seran usadas por un proposito humane, festejo! porque la liberacion animal es directa e inmediata cuando se quiere!”

HOW TO WHEATPASTE

In this instalment of Incite, Conspire, Inspire, we bring you the extremely radical and dangerous technique of making wallpaper. Like, seriously. 
 
You see, in a world dominated by paid advertisement and where social media overtakes most of our visual input, wheatpasting is the hero we all deserve. Wheatpasting democratises the streets, allowing you to express your voice, share your leaflets or your artwork. Wheatpasting is the crusty, mouldy poetry of the streets. 
 
Does it sound like something you’re into? Good, because we are into it too. Wheatpasting will allow you to stick the paper to walls in a much more permanent way than duck tape. And we are here to teach you how. 

To make wheatpaste you will need: 
 
A saucepan. 
A whisk, or a spoon, or something to stir your potion. 
Two parts of flour.
Three parts of water.  
A stove, or a fire, or something that will bring your concoction to a boil. 

This is how easy it is to make wheatpaste:
 
 1- Mix your ingredients inside of the saucepan
2- Put it on the stove and bring it to a boil, whisking all lumps and ensuring the mix is homogeneous.
3- Keep on a boil and whisk until it thickens and looks like sticky, runny and very smooth porridge, about thirty minutes.
4- Let it cool, then pour it into a sealable container. 
 
Now for the fun part. Time to take it to the streets!

Make sure you have:
A brush
The container with wheatpaste
Your prints! This could be artwork, or leaflets, or whatever you want to show to the world
Gloves help if you don’t like a sticky mess over your hands. 
 
 Once you have everything you need, get on the streets! Wheatpaste works best in non-porous surfaces like glass, but you certainly should experiment! If you have leftovers, ideally you should keep the tub refrigerated. If you leave it for too long it will dry up and it could also explode in a disgustingly smelly mess, so maybe just use it all!

Now that you hold this power, what kind go trouble will the world see? 
 
SEE YOU IN THE STREETS!

RODEO RING SET ON FIRE

A rodeo ring in Cañete (Biobío) was heavily damaged in an arson attack. According to media reports, a pamphlet referring to the liberation of Mapuche political prisoners was found at the site.

COMRADE SENTENCED AFTER BEING ACCUSED OF A STRING OF BUTCHER SHOP ATTACKS

Someone in Norwich, UK, was sentenced to a 1000 GBP fine after being found guilty of attacking multiple butcher shops. Whilst the person feels the sentencing was relatively lenient and they have started to pay the fine in small monthly payments, it would be very useful if that fine was paid in full and gotten rid of as it eases the burden of having probation keeping an eye on you and your transactions.

For that reason and thanks to a very generous donation by artist and comrade @goaskforde, we will be organising an artwork raffle to raise the funds.

Because it is quite a lot of money and we doubt we will be able to raise all those funds with just the raffle, we are asking for people to consider sending a donation over PayPal if they can afford it. You can be overly generous if that doesn’t put you in a difficult position, or you can just donate 5 pounds, every little bit that people put towards this fine helps someone feel supported after being caught doing an anonymous action.

If you are unable to donate, please spread the word as much as possible. Liking, commenting, sharing and saving this post all increase the algorithm and help this fundraiser reach as many people as possible.

Keep an eye for the upcoming art raffle, we will publish it very soon, and for the time being if you can donate, send some coins to www.paypal.me/unoffensiveanimal112

SOLIDARITY IS OUR WEAPON!

KILL THE BILL PROTESTS AND ACTIONS

Normally on flammable we bring you two or three different bits of news about other struggles, but seeing as stuff is kicking off in the UK, some comrades felt that focusing it around the proposed “Police, crime and sentencing Bill” would be a good idea.

The UK parliament is pushing a new law that threatens the right to protest, sending people who are taking part in “very annoying or inconvenient” protests away for up to ten years in prison, as well as criminalising the very existence of travellers and Roma folk by criminalising trespass and adding prison sentences to the “crime”. It even mentions the possibility of deportation for foreign folk who accept a caution at a protest, or who are found guilty of being part of an inconvenient protest. It is a dangerous law that affects protest camps, targets homeless folk and ensures hunt sabs will not be able to do their job, for example, and amplifies the already brutal powers that the police has to stop dissenting voices.

For that reason, thousands of people have taken to the streets in major cities across the UK. Protests, demonstrations, and even unapologetically militant actions have taken place to oppose the proposed law, and it is believed to be on the increase.

Folks have taken many forms of creative action. We’ve seen banner drops deployed on trees by climbing activists, people purposely trespassing to liberate animals or smashing traps, and multiple squats have popped up in defiance to the PSCB.

Last Thursday, and after organising a free food share in a pizza squat in London, riot police entered RAT’s new occupied restaurant and launched a violent attack against the squatters inside. Someone was beaten unconscious, and everybody was arrested on bogus charges.

Police brutality doesn’t end there. Bristol has seen riot police repeatedly hitting folk with batons for committing the crime of not moving from the floor, and this morning it surfaced that a journalist was tricked into getting close to the police just to be arrested and another journalist was badly beaten whilst filming the demonstration.

Folks are taking action to protect the right to protest and they are doing so in whatever manner they believe is right. In an interview, someone who was present during the first Bristol protest said “Soon we will not be able to go out on the streets to demonstrate, so it does not surprise me that someone burnt that police van. If we are gonna go to prison, we might as well give them fire”. 

From squatters to folks fighting for the earth, ALF activists and even folks without any political background are fighting this bill. If you are in the UK, leaderless demos are being called in multiple cities. They advise folk to wear black and to mask up to keep safe. From abroad, folks are calling for over and underground actions in solidarity to make as much noise as possible about the new authoritarian law. 

 Solidarity with our comrades in the UK fighting this madness. 

 LIBERATE OR DIE.
