“Poking around a local shoot, we stumbled across some Larsen traps. The scum seemed a little protective of them, they were located in view of their scum houses and the prisoners were padlocked inside. So we came back at night with our boltcutters to set them free and smash the shit outta the cages.
Three magpies were released and two traps destroyed. We’ll be back again soon to check there’s no more.
We dedicate this action for freedom to our friend Jess, an incredible warrior. ❤
“Responding to the call to action to take out our rage on speciesist businesses’ windows.
Enough of buying a plant based sausage roll and patting ourselves on the back. Let’s not hand our money and power over to evil corp and fool ourselves believing it’s a win. We want to see the economic sabotage of the blood industry, not support it. We want to see THEM pay. Remember whose side we are on. We stand with the animals whose bodies are being sold. Big and small, local and international, let’s smash the FUCK out of these exploiters. They profit from murder.
Hammer to glass or knife to throat, remember who has lost the most.
In the early hours of the morning, with the owners watching tv above, we glued the locks, left a message and smashed the fuck out of Rogman Butcher’s windows.
We are glad that many feel “This gives a bad name to veganism” because until veganism becomes active and antispeciesist, its name stinks of rotting capitalism.
We hope the butcher claims the loss to the insurance company and has it replaced free of cost, because that will bring the insurance cost up not just for them, but also for any butchers around the area. We hope that with enough windows smashed, all butchers go out of business unable to pay for more windows and insurance.
We hope this form of action catches fire and we see a relentless wave of window smashing through Brighton, through the UK and throughout the whole world.
We dedicate this action to the 13 rangers murdered in the Congo for protecting the wild.
Mask up from the virus, and the bigger killer, the cops.
CONTENT WARNING: The footage featured in the video is disturbing.
In 2008 a group of people calling themselves the ALF Investigation Unit broke into a farm in Berkshire UK and filmed the conditions of the rabbits being exploited inside. They took several rabbits as well as caused several thousand pounds worth of damage. This is the report that was released with the video:
“On the eve of Barry Horne’s death, a group of volunteers accessed a rabbit ‘meat’ farm in Berkshire, U.K. This farm used to harbour hundreds of rabbits in the back of converted box lorries, but have recently upgraded their bunny butchering enterprise to four permanent and highly intensive units. Semi-built and set to be filled with hundreds of rabbits, we entered the site and bypassed top security measures.. the key was left in the door!
One unit was so full of rubble and electricity cables we almost didn’t expect to find any animals in such conditions. Further inspection found rows of cages, many with rabbits inside. All living on wire, many rabbits were blind, had ears missing and were rotting alive inside this windowless hell.
Even within a legal system that legitimises animal abuse, this sicko has still managed to torture animals beyond any legal requirements. The unit was in total disrepair, flooded with a mix of water and excrement, with open electricity wires and strewn with litter. None of the units had ventilation or air conditioning systems, despite being newly built. This farm was an excellent example of what ‘animal welfare’ means for animals: fuck all.
Needless to say we decided to make some legal corrections. After taking several rabbits to safety, who are now recovering in loving homes, we turned our attention to stopping this ‘man’ filling any more cages with defenceless animals. We cut every empty cage into pieces. Fuse boxes and machinery were glued and filled with expanding foam. Messages were left on the outer walls and doors before we vanished back into the darkness with our newly acquired friends.
This action was carried out in the memory of Barry, who continues to be an inspiration to us all despite his death at the hands of the British government
“I’ve delayed the report to keep the rabbits safe.
Seeing that lockdown was going to happen soon and really worried about what pet shops would do with all the live animals they sell I went to a well known store in South East UK to make friends with a couple of rabbits.
Shoplifting is easy, and shoplifting from the pet store feels like a duty, but I had to think twice before taking animals out. I used some social skills and lots of chatter, talked to one of the employees and asked them to put them in the carrier as I wanted two of them. We talked for about five minutes. That was enough screening for the shop to “sell” me two sentient beings.
With the rabbits in the carrier, the employee told me they were going to pick up a couple of leaflets I should read. I grabbed some treats and walked to the till. Lefthanding the carrier, I paid 3.99 for the treats and walked out as if nothing had happened. They will never be traded, because their life is priceless.
Shoplifting is easy. You should try it. Be it a sneaky vegan chocolate bar, your new phone or whatever tickles your fancy. Save yourself from the queues and the till, and maybe help our friends.
They now have all the space they want to run around, and climb, and explore, and be themselves, and they will live the pirate-fugitive life for the rest of their lives.
Fuck the pet trade and fuck pet breeders and fuck pet shops. Fuck the lot.”

Throughout March and an extension into April, 108 lynxes in eleven immense cull zones across Sweden had a price upon their heads. The usual safety of the snowscape was plagued with traps and trophy-hunting dickheads, desperate to shoot a cat and lay claim to their skin.
As hunt scum loaded their guns, donned their high vis habiliments and popped radio collars on their dog servants, something sinister brewed in the frozen depths of the forests. A gaggle of filthy scuzzy punks conspired in the snow to make the murderers’ lives a daylight nightmare, fight the killing, and wreak havoc upon all the tools of death we laid our badgery little eyes on.
In this masterpiece video documentary 3.0, you can join us in raising your middle fingers to the pricks and prick gear we encountered during the 46 days of licenced lynx hunting in Sweden. We did not limit ourselves to just fucking with lynx killers, but left a trail of destruction, anger and spray paint where any hunters or hunting gear once stood.
We sent a whole bunch of hunters packing, and as well turning our tools towards smashing lynx traps, ensured our stomping boots got plenty of action smashing cages and traps intended for other wildlife comrades.
One of our favourite targets were the shooting towers that litter almost every fucking forest and field we passed. We lost count of exactly how many we ripped the shit out of, but upon careful enumeration and deliberation, we’re sure the final number was about 75. The feeding stations and salt licks used to lure animals towards the guns were also put the fuck out of action.
Then there were the cameras. Hunt scum in Sweden just love leaving us gifts of trail cams by their hunting towers and feeders. It’s especially nice when they leave the memory cards full of pictures of themselves, their vehicles, and their number plates too. Special shout out to Simon, who donated two full years of data, locations of several other towers and feeders, and some lovely pictures of the wildlife he wanted to kill. Fuck you, Simon.
Of course there were cops. It doesn’t matter what bullshit state borders you’re inside, filth and scum go hand-in-hand. Killers always go crying to the cops, who are always all too willing to protect the state-sanctioned murder. What is “law” does not tally with what is right, and we will shout from the tree tops for ever more: ALL COPPERS ARE BASTARDS.
As of yesterday, the extended lynx hunting licences should have expired. We do not yet know the total number of innocent creatures who were needlessly slaughtered for the entertainment of scum. We are immensely grateful to everyone who chucked coins at our PayPal or bought one of bangin tees during this campaign. The vast sizes of the cull zones and the huge distances required to travel meant fuel costs were fucking high, and we would not have been able to maintain our presence in the forests without your support.
And of course, huge thanks to Hunt Saboteurs Sweden, who we formed a solid crew with during this campaign and who are the fucking bomb. Go check em out, they’re doing some good shit and we’re gonna love conspiring with them again in the future.
We are still out in the wild, causing chaos throughout Europe. Hunters cannot hide from us. Preparations for the looming UK badger cull are already in full swing, plus other projects in other countries. If you have some spare cash floating about, it’d be fucking smashing if you could launch it at our PayPal, which is linked in the comments.
Direct action gets the goods, get inspired and get active for wildlife!”
“The University of Guelph is well known as the Hole-y cow university for their experiments with cannulas inserted in cow’s stomachs, but their veterinary, bioscience and agricultural science torture animals in many more ways.
We spray painted their corridor, doors and the cow statue to remind everybody about the cruelty happening behind doors.
“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.
“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.”
