Unoffensive Animal

“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.”

“UBS DOCUMENTARY 3.0 – FUCK THE SWEDISH LYNX CULL

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.

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!
