RAT TRAPS DESTROYED.

15th August, South East UK

Received anonymously via email:

“Everywhere there’s humans there’s usually rat traps. Find them and get rid of them as often as you can. Rats deserve to not be poisoned, glued or to have their necks or backs broken in traps just because they exist.

You almost always find rat traps at gas stations and supermarket bins. We found these round the back of a few supermarkets. We covered our faces and cut the thin metal wired attaching the traps to the wall. It was easy. We then took them to a discrete place and smashed them open. Inside we found poison cookies. Don’t chuck the poison in the regular bin or a rat or someone else will probably eat them and die. Dispose of them properly, you can put them in dog poo bins as they will be burned not dumped. The plastic part of the trap we smashed and chucked in the bin.

Smash traps all year and remember the cull starts soon so get ready for smashing badger cages in particular!”

TWO ZOOS TARGETED WITH SPRAY PAINT UNDER THE CAMPAIGN KAIOLAK SUNTSITU. (Double report)

10th August, Basque Country.

Via: Kaiolak Suntsitu

“In Basondo Zoo there are 100 individuals locked up.

In Sendaviva, around 800 non-human individuals are kept in cages for human enterntainment.

Aside from that, this zoo has been having financial losses since it has been open, but the Government of Navarre has given them around 70 million euro so that they can remain open, believing that the profits brought by tourism outweigh these losses.

Non-human animals are not economic resources, their freedom is non-negotiable, close all zoos and aquariums!

FOREST ANTI SPE DAYS – AN ANTISPECIESIST GATHERING.

Folks have contacted us to let us know that an antispeciesist event is being organised in Hambacher Forst this September. We decided to call off Liberate or Die a few months ago due to COVID concerns and although we cannot organise an event in September due to badger cull happening at the same time in the UK, there is an antispeciesist event going on this year in Hambacher Forst.

For more information about it please head to their website.

FOR THE WILD!

SVEN RELEASED FROM PRISON.

We bring some good news today!

Animal rights prisoners Sven Van Hasselt has been released from prison. He was sentenced to five years in prison in 2018 charged with “conspiracy to blackmail”, a charge piggybacking a law that was purposely set up to stop the SHAC campaign. After having served over half of his sentence, he is now out with conditions for the rest of the sentence.

His release marks the first time in 20 years that there is no one in prison in relation to the Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC) campaign which officially disbanded in 2014.

In other news, we have been told that Joseph Dibee (who was arrested over two years ago) in relation to ALF and ELF actions in the US during the 90s is in fact still in prison. You can write to him here:

Joseph Dibee #812133
Multnomah County Jail
11540 NE Inverness Dr.
Portland, OR 97220
USA

Lastly, we’ve been informed that the only way to send correspondence to Peter Janssen, who is locked up awaiting trial accused of arson at a duck slaughterhouse is via their support email, so if you want to send any support, please write to:

ON THE CONNECTION BETWEEN ANARCHISM AND ANTISPECIESISM.

A large, perhaps central tenant of anarchism is a rejection of hierarchy, an opposition to the idea that we need kings, bosses, the police or an authority of some kind to keep us in line and aware of our place, the suggestion being that that place is bellow a superior person or class. A ruling class that thrives off our labour, off our flesh, with no regard for us as individuals or anything beyond what we can provide to those ‘in charge’. Sound familiar? The stripping away of autonomy and the deprivation of an environment that should be abundant is something that not only happens to the masses (humans) but to so many exploited non humans too. Unwillingly we are all stuck in the machine of industrialisation, just bodies making a few much richer.

A system that has turned capable and curious generations into obedient workers who sit in cubicles or stand in factories or stuck behind counters serving all day and all night. Most of us unable to access clean water or food outside of what we can exchange for money earned through endless labour. Our lives are transformed to something so far from nature that life cut off from the system becomes almost impossible. Meanwhile our non human comrades are also deprived of their natural habitat and their bodies, like our minds, are systematically transformed to produce what we want from them as fast and as much as possible. Their bodies are commodified at every turn and they have become such frankensteins that there is no returning to the wild for them. Not that there’s much wild left to return to anyway.

The state is unnecessary and harmful to both human and non-human animals and that is something that both veganism and anarchism reflect on.
“More than just a refusal to take part in violence against non human animals for food, clothing, etc, veganism is a refusal to take part in the violence that affects society as a whole. Veganism works to expose and end the subtle indoctrination of industry in capitalist society that wishes to desensitize humanity to the violence against the many for the gain of the few.” —Joseph M. Smith “The Threat of Veganism”.

The Animal Liberation Front operates as a decentralised and leaderless group and is an example of how the philosophy for animal liberation and human liberation share a desire for no masters. Oppressive dynamics in social relationships are always based on an “us vs them”. Oppressors being seen and seeing themselves in clear distinction from the oppressed. The comfortable middle class person who is horrified by someone stealing food or other necessities and sees criminals instead of people, is easily comparable to those who see themselves as separate and above the pig whose flesh they eat for breakfast. The wealthy ‘understand’ their big houses and multiple holidays are acquired by ‘fair’ methods and not by the unequal distribution of resources just like the eggs they eat came from ‘free range’ chickens and the lamb they eat for dinner was ‘humanely’ killed. Both oppressor and oppressed are led to believe it is the poor’s incompetence which holds them down, just like the animals who we farm couldn’t possibly exist without the farmer and butcher.

MORE FARMS SPRAY PAINTED IN FRANCE

4th August, Belgium

received anonymously via email:

“Several fattening camps in France, here a turkey farm (belonging to the big group Doux) in Mayenne, a department strongly affected by the Covid19 epidemic, were painted with messages* making the connection between animal slavery and epidemics of zoonotic viruses, past, present & future.

*Translation:

  • ANIMAL AG = VIOLENCE PANDEMIC
  • FOR A NEW WORLD, ABOLITION NOW
  • SPECIESISM IS THE VIRUS”

FRENCH:
“Plusieurs camps d’engraissement, ici de dindes (du groupe Doux) en Mayenne, département fortement touché par l’épidémie de Covid19, ont été tagués avec des messages faisant le lien entre l’esclavage animal et les épidémies de virus d’origine zoonotique, passées, présentes ou futures.”

SEVERAL FARMS SPRAY PAINTED.

3rd August, France.

Received anonymously via email:

(French report below)

“Several fattening camps in France, here a chicken farm in Marne, were painted with messages* making the connection between animal slavery and epidemics of zoonotic viruses, past, present & future.

While number of clusters increases in France, many of them in slaughterhouses, the media continue to obscure the link between flesh consumption and pandemics, governments are NOT taking the necessary actions to protect the population, but are releasing billions from public funds to save the economy.

We have the duty to force them to make that connection and act accordingly. Because beyond the human victims of Covid19, there are trillions victims of speciesism every single year.This thirst for blood is a total nonsense.

Several other farms will be targeted in the following days.
We urge animal rights activists all around the world to do the same.
We do NOT win a war with flowers as weapon.

*Translation:

  • ANIMAL AG FUNDS PANDEMICS
  • ANIMAL AG DOESN’T FEED, IT KILLS”

“Plusieurs camps d’engraissement, ici de poulets dans la Marne, ont été tagués avec des messages faisant le lien entre l’esclavage animal et les épidémies de virus d’origine zoonotique, passées, présentes ou futures.

Alors que les clusters se multiplient en France, principalement dans des abattoirs, que les médias continuent à occulter le lien entre zoophagie et pandémie, les États ne prennent PAS les mesures nécessaires pour protéger la population, mais débloquent des milliards d’euros d’argent public pour sauver leur économie.

Nous avons le devoir de les forcer à faire ce lien et à agir en conséquence. Parce qu’au-delà des victimes humaines du Covid19, les victimes du spécisme se comptent par milliers de milliards chaque année.Cette soif de sang est un non-sens total.

Plusieurs autres fermes seront nos cibles dans les jours qui suivent.
Nous exhortons les animalistes du monde entier à faire de même.
On ne remporte pas une guerre avec des fleurs comme seules armes.”
