SEVERAL HUNTER’S VEHICLES’ TYRES FOUND WITH NAILS HAMMERED IN.

27th October, France.

Via: Attaque

ENGLISH (translation):

“On their return from a morning’s hunting, several members of the ACCA Le Rallye seurrois had the displeasure of finding nails hammered into their tires. For the association’s president, this was a deliberate act, aimed specifically at hunters.

It’s Sunday, October 27. Johan Tillet, secretary of the ACCA (association communale de chasse agréée) Le Rallye seurrois, a local hunting association, is making the short journey home by car after a morning’s hunting. But he discovers a flat tire caused by a dozen nails.

How did they get there? And especially so many? He says he didn’t realize immediately that his tires were riddled with nails until he got home. “At noon, another hunter called to tell me that he also had nails stuck in his four tires, and then others also contacted me shortly afterwards.”

Johan Tillet decided to retrace his steps to find the origin of the nails, and it was on a communal road leading to the route de Lanthes that more nails were found, as well as in a parking lot not far from Étang-Rouge. “There were several hundred nails across the road and in the parking lot. This represents a strip about 30 to 40 cm wide and 5 to 6 meters long”, he explains.”

[…]

“I think we were targeted,” continues Johan, “since this passageway leads to a hunting cabin.” He passed on a message encouraging those who had suffered this vandalism to lodge a complaint with the gendarmerie. At least seven vehicles belonging to members of the association were affected.

FRENCH (original):

“Au retour d’une matinée de chasse, plusieurs membres de l’ACCA Le Rallye seurrois ont eu le déplaisir de trouver des clous plantés dans leurs pneus. Pour le président de l’association, il s’agit d’un acte délibéré, visant spécifiquement les chasseurs.

Nous sommes dimanche 27 octobre. Johan Tillet, secrétaire de l’ACCA (association communale de chasse agréée) Le Rallye seurrois, une association de chasse locale, effectue un court trajet jusqu’à son domicile en voiture après une matinée de chasse. Mais il découvre un pneu crevé à cause d’une dizaine de clous.

Comment ont-ils pu arriver là ? Et surtout autant ? Il assure ne pas s’être rendu compte tout de suite que ses pneus étaient criblés de clous, seulement en rentrant chez lui. « À midi, un autre chasseur m’a appelé pour me dire qu’il avait aussi des clous plantés dans ses quatre pneus, puis d’autres m’ont aussi contacté peu de temps après. »

Johan Tillet décide de faire le chemin qu’il a emprunté pour en trouver l’origine, et c’est sur un chemin communal menant à la route de Lanthes que d’autres clous ont été retrouvés ainsi que sur un parking situé non loin de l’Étang-Rouge. « Il y avait plusieurs centaines de clous mis en travers du chemin et sur le parking. Cela représente une bande d’environ 30 à 40 cm de large et 5 à 6 mètres de long », explique-t-il.

[…]

« Je pense que nous étions visés », reprend Johan, « puisque ce passage emmène vers une cabane de chasse. » Il a fait passer un message pour encourager les personnes qui ont subi ce vandalisme à déposer une plainte en gendarmerie. Au moins sept véhicules des membres de l’association ont été touchés.”

SHOTS FIRED AT AN EMPTY HUNTING TOWER.

According to local press, the police is looking for witnesses as a hunter found their tower shot at, counting over 10 bullet holes.

The hunter says the occurrence has been very frightening and they cannot imagine who could’ve done it.

The hunting tower that was shot in Sehlem forest declined any comment.

ENGLISH (translation):

“Dolcetto o scherzetto? (Trick or Treat?)
Hunters and anyone who tortures and kills animals deserve only tricks.

On Halloween night, abetted by night and fog, we attacked and set fire to a location from which hunters shoot birds.
The fire devoured and purified this place of death.
The fight for Animal Liberation continues, no ifs or buts!
Animal Liberation Front”

ITALIAN (original):

“Dolcetto o scherzetto? (Trick or Treat?)
I cacciatori e chiunque tortura e uccide animali merita solo scherzetti.

Nella notte  di Halloween, complice la notte e la nebbia, abbiamo attaccato e dato fuoco a una postazione da cui i cacciatori sparano ai volatili.
Il fuoco ha divorato e purificato questo luogo di morte.
La lotta per la Liberazione Animale continua, senza se e senza ma!

FOX FARM IN MINNESOTA CONFIRMED CLOSED DOWN.

PHOTO UNRELATED. Credit: WeAnimals, Canada 2014.

We received the following information about a fox farm in Dundee, MN USA:

“Earlier this fall, on the lakeside grounds of what we thought would be Sieverding Fox Farm (36414 130th St, Dundee, MN), we found only ruins. Despite being well before pelting season, the area was in complete disuse. The two sheds were broken down and bare of any cages, the dusty breeding cards above the empty space the only reminder of what once took place there. The outdoor cages, once lined up in neat rows, were shoved tightly together and surrounded by chest-high grass.

To ensure we weren’t jumping to conclusions, we checked every other building. There were rusty boats and cars, but no evidence of an active fur farm. Though we’re glad to confirm this closure, we regret that generations of foxes were born to die here and never set free to run wild along the starlit lake.”

WARZONE DISTRO, AN INVALUABLE RESOURCE FOR VEGAN, STRAIGHT EDGE, ANARCHIST ZINES.

via: Warzone Distro

As we all attempt to manage our lives with bodies fatigued by wage-slavery, attention spans manipulated by illuminated screens, and minds desperate for new consumer trends that provide temporary relief, the wilderness around us dies, suffocating beneath the paved roads and metallic infrastructure of a prison world we’re paid to expand. To the critical mind, it becomes clear that industrial society is active warfare, not only against all living beings contained within its social and institutional parameters, but also deep within its own builders.

It becomes clear that no government, president, or politician can ever grant us real freedom, and no officer of the law or court system can keep us safe. The colonial establishment known as “america”, like all other colonized landscapes, is designed to disempower, control, and dominate a mass population of people, starting at the individual level.

Despite the best efforts and intentions of political optimists, there is no reforming it. We are all left with only two choices: surrender ourselves to it or resist.

So some of us chose to resist, fighting back and refusing to surrender our lives to the workforce needed to maintain and expand this colonial empire. We understand that the battle is in the streets but also within us – against a mindset conditioned by a society that wishes to enslave us. We have no desire to wait. Our position is pure negation; a refusal to comply with the governing norms and expectations of society. Our vision: industrial collapse and total liberation by every means necessary.

Warzone Distro is a zine creating and publishing project that covers a wide range of topics including (but not limited to) veganism, straight edge/radical sobriety, anarcho-nihilism, individualist anarchy (no, not ancap bullshit), anti-colonization, anti-civ, queer nihilism, and anti-fascism. All zines on- and off-line are free. Mailed zine requests are welcomed. Donations are welcomed as well.

FIVE HUNTING TOWERS SAWED DOWN BY RABBID RABBITS!

received anonymously via email:

30th October, Talensac France.

[image unrelated, report did not include images]

ENG (translation):

“The counter-attack is being organized in the Talensac forest. Under the cover of darkness, rabid little rabbits armed with saws attacked the death installations that are the hunting stands. Five of them fell to the rabbits’ determined assaults. It was a joy to see these symbols of oppression dismantled, a joy shared by the other animals in the forest.

Will these acts be reproduced as quickly as the rabbits?”

FRENCH (original):

“La contre-attaque s’organise dans la forêt de Talensac. A la faveur de la nuit, des petit.e.s lapin.e.s enragé.e.s armé.e.s de scies ont attaqué les installations de mort que sont les miradors de chasse. Cinq d’entre eux sont tombés sous les assauts déterminés des lapin.e.s. Quelle joie de voir ces symboles d’oppression être démantelés, joie partagée par les autres animaux de la forêt.

La reproduction de ces actes sera t-elle aussi rapide que celle des lapin.e.s ?”

TWENTY THREE HENS LIBERATED IN MEMORY OF BARRY HORNE.

4th November, UK.

received anonymously via email:

“23 years later and we are still thinking of Barry Horne. Those who take action for liberation are never forgotten.

Barry gave his all and fought like hell. If you don’t know about some of the things he was involved in; from fighting to save Rocky the dolphin, to raiding Interfauna, to smashing fancy wine bottles at a vivisectors conference and so much more! You need to go learn some history and get inspired.

We thought of you Barry as we broke our way into a ‘free range’ egg farm and the stench stung our eyes. We thought of all the fire inside you that fueled you to fight so hard for animal liberation, right till your last breath. May that fire burn as bright for all of us and spur us on till we win.

Fuck fur farms, fuck vivisection labs, fuck zoos, fuck oceanariums, fuck your ‘free range’ farms, fuck the hunts, fuck prisons, fuck all cages everywhere!

In his own words “If you don’t act then you condone. If you don’t fight then you don’t win. And if you don’t win then you are responsible for the death and suffering that will go on and on.””

A FEW SHOP UPDATES, WE HAVE STICKERS, AND WILDFIRE VOL3 AND MORE!

Hey folks! Many people have been asking for Wildfire volume 3. We have found a very small bunch of them, so we’ve listed them on the website. When they are gone, they are gone, we were lucky to find this bunch hidden in a shelf!

We have also brought stickers back in stock. Please note that the sticker image is not necessarily indicative of the stickers you’ll get. It depends on stock and what we have around, but you’ll get a mixed pack of 25 stickers of whatever designs we have available!

We have also found a few old t-shirts and hoodies we are thinking of putting up soon, they will be very limited (and odd sizes) because we are no longer printing the old designs. Before anyone asks, the Defend Direct Action in Medium is NOT available (but many people ask for it, so if we hear a lot of interest we could look at doing a run for the DDA design? Let us know in the comments!)

We are working with talented artists to release a limited drop fundraising t-shirt and prints to raise some coins for the mink liberation arrestees. This will have to be pre-order only, but last time when we did the Susaron print it took a long time to reach the minimum. We want to ask you all if the pre-order, fundraising style drop of merch is something that you like and can get behind, because if we want to ensure we print tees before the Christmas holiday rush (specially to send abroad) the preorder time will be short (probably two weeks?) so we will be needing your support either by grabbing one or by sharing it as much as possible!

Let us know your thoughts, we really value what you folks think about it. We would also like to hear about what kind of garments you like most. Do you like the designs on the front or the back? Is our usual black garment getting boring now and we should be looking at other colours? Should we do tees or hoodies, or both? Are zip hoodies better or would you give them a miss? Just talk to us so we know what to roll out!

Just a reminder that UA is not a shop, and we don’t “sell stuff”. We have a few bits and bobs we print cos they are cool as a method to reward donations by our supporters. For that reason, you can chose what you pay on our website, and can make the decision to donate much more than the suggested price!

If you want to check the few products we have up at the minute, this is the address:

All profits are used to support arrestees and prisoners and to upkeep the costs of the website and servers and other associated tech expenses. We do not make a wage from this and have never done in the almost decade long that the collective has existed.

FOR THE WILD!

OCTOBER KICKS OFF WITH 13 DIRECT ACTION REPORTS!

Over the past month we received a total of 13 reports from around the world. The UK came on top with 5 direct action reports, but France, Germany and Italy made the list too, and we added Serbia as a new country we’ve heard of direct action for animal liberation! The USA had a report too, where a mink farm was raided.

Most of the actions reported were related to hunting, although 4 of them were related to animal agriculture liberation reports.

On the prisoner support front we had a busy month too. Zerofoursixeight is selling stickers to raise funds for animal liberation codefendants. We also wrote about Osman, who has been locked up in turkey for decades. We heard news about the sentencing of the Susaron prisoners and head the first public information about the two people accused of liberating mink in the USA.

As always, if you appreciate UA as a platform for prisoner support and direct action, you can support us on patreon or donate to us on PayPal. We genuinely appreciate every single donation and do not get paid for the job, we use every penny for arrest and prisoner support and to upkeep costs of servers and website.
