THE ALF VANDALISES THE CAR OF A ‘LIVESTOCK EQUIPMENT BUSINESSMAN.

13th June, Greece.

ENGLISH:

“On the evening of 13 June, in Nea Paralia, Thessaloniki, we vandalized the car of the businessman George Galis, who owns a company that sells livestock equipment. This company, through its website, advertises upgraded and modern machinery that contributes to better conditions inside livestock farms.

For us, livestock farms are prisons in which hundreds of millions of animals around the world are forced to endure a lifetime with the sole aim of being exploited by humans for their milk or the eggs they produce and killed for their meat and skin. And all this to end up with the human consumer. Since we oppose confinement and prisons, we do not accept the improvement of their conditions, only their destruction. Thus everyone who in any way contributes to their preservation is co-responsible and is automatically our target. That is why we spray-painted slogans on the luxury car of this particular businessman, a Mercedes 300, worth around EUR 60 000.

The damage we have done may be minimal compared to the torture experienced by animals in confinement, but by increasing our attacks against torturers, exploiters and killers, we animal liberation activists around the world are sending the message that any act against defenseless creatures will not go unanswered and will have consequences until we tear down every farm and free all animals.

PS. One of the products sold by this company is the trap, a machine whose bars trap the animal’s head so that it eats its food motionless, which makes it a torture.

Το βράδυ στις 13 Ιουνίου, στην Νέα Παραλία Θεσ/νίκης, προχωρήσαμε σε βανδαλισμό του αυτοκινήτου του επιχειρηματία Γεωργίου Γαλή, ο οποίος κατέχει εταιρία που εμπορεύεται κτηνοτροφικό εξοπλισμό. Η εν λόγω επιχείρηση μέσω της ιστοσελίδας της, διαφημίζει τα αναβαθμισμένα και σύγχρονα μηχανήματα που συμβάλουν στις καλύτερες συνθήκες μέσα στις κτηνοτροφικές μονάδες.

Για εμάς τα εκτροφεία ζώων είναι φυλακές, στις οποίες εκατοντάδες εκατομμύρια ζώα σε όλο τον κόσμο, εξαναγκάζονται να υπομένουν μια ζωή με μόνο στόχο, την εκμετάλλευση από τους ανθρώπους, όσον αφορά το γάλα τους ή τα αυγά που παράγουν και τον θάνατο τους όσον αφορά το κρέας και το δέρμα τους. Και όλα αυτά για να καταλήξουν στον άνθρωπο -καταναλωτή. Από την στιγμή που εναντιωνόμαστε στον εγκλεισμό και στις φυλακές, δεν αποδεχόμαστε την καλυτέρευση των συνθήκων τους, πάρα μόνο την καταστροφή τους. Έτσι ο καθένας που με οποιονδήποτε τρόπο συμβάλει στην διατήρηση τους, είναι συνυπεύθυνος και αυτομάτως αποτελεί στόχο μας. Για αυτό και εμείς γράψαμε με σπρέι, συνθήματα πάνω στο πολυτελές αυτοκίνητο του συγκεκριμένου επιχειρηματία, ένα Mercedes 300, αξίας περίπου 60.000 ευρώ. Η ζημιά που κάναμε μπορεί να είναι το ελάχιστο μπροστά στα βασανιστήρια που βιώνουν τα έγκλειστα ζώα, αλλά πληθαίνοντας τις επιθέσεις μας απέναντι στους βασανιστές, εκμεταλλευτές και δολοφόνους, εμείς οι αγωνιστές της απελευθέρωσης των ζώων ανά τον κόσμο, στέλνουμε το μήνυμα ότι οποιαδήποτε πράξη ενάντια σε ανυπεράσπιστα πλάσματα, δεν θα μείνει αναπάντητη και θα έχει συνέπειες, μέχρι να γκρεμίσουμε το κάθε εκτροφείο και να απελευθερώσουμε όλα τα ζώα.

ΥΓ. Ένα από τα προϊόντα που πουλάει η συγκεκριμένη εταιρία, είναι και η παγίδα, ένα μηχάνημα που τα σίδερα του εγκλωβίζουν το κεφάλι του ζώου, ούτος ώστε να τρώει την τροφή του ακίνητο, κάτι που το καθιστά βασανιστήριο.

ANIMAL LIBERATION ACTIVISTS HELP 27 EGG LAYING HENS FREE.

June, Germany.

received anonymously via email:

“When people think about eggs, most initially think of their breakfast or baking – a chickens egg is often euphemistically referred to as e.g. “breakfast egg”.

Laying hens are bred to produce nearly an egg a day – far beyond what their bodies would have naturally evolved to do. Their reproductive systems are pushed to the limit, their lives reduced to cramped, filthy cages or halls, often shared with tens of thousands of others. There is no daylight. The air is thick with dust and ammonia. Ventilation systems roar constantly. Many hens develop painful inflammations in their cloaca – organ where eggs pass through – and some simply collapse under the strain of production. These are not exceptions. They are routine and calculated in by the industry!

In the midst of this manufactured misery, seven animal rights activists in Germany stepped into action and entered an industrial egg facility under cover of darkness. Inside were roughly 40,000 hens, most of them silent, some featherless, almost all of them showing signs of sickness. From this bleak battery, the activists carried out 27 chickens, giving them a chance at a life that had been denied from birth.

Contrary to popular belief, chickens are intelligent, social beings who can remember many faces, form friendships, and show deep maternal care. Some hens even seek out affection, resting their heads against their companions.

One of the most persistent myths is that no animals die for eggs. Yet even before slaughter, around 6% of chickens in the industry die from illness, injury, or sheer exhaustion. Male chicks, unable to lay eggs, are often killed on their first day of life—by gassing or being ground up alive or -if the named two methods of killing male chicks are illegal in the country they were born in- chicken farms will ship them to different countries to kill them there.

Chickens could live up to ten years. But in the egg industry, most are killed after just 15 to 18 months, when their bodies are “spent”. Just by the time you’ve finished reading over 115,000 chickens have been slaughtered worldwide!

We are taught to see eggs as innocent, everyday food. But if we truly looked at where they come from, the system might resemble something closer to dystopian science fiction than a sunday breakfast.

Let’s start to de-normalize eggs as something that’s ours to use and work torwards a world where everybody can be free – no matter the body they’re born into.

We won’t stop fighting until every cage is empty!

Animal liberation now and everywhere!”

BADGER’S REVENGE SABOTAGE A FARM AND CALL TO ACTION.

received anonymously via email:

June, Chipping Norton UK.

“BADGER’S REVENGE – A CALL TO ACTION AND A DECLARATION OF WAR.

For years, thousands of people have opposed the government order to murder badgers in the country. Countless nights and days walking the countryside, looking for cages, scaring shooters away from setts, organising protests and demonstrations to show a glimmer of resistance against a senseless massacre that has been proven a sham by the scientific community and that is only organised by the government to appease farmers who get off on torturing other sentient beings.

We have shown them opposition and resistance, but badgers have continuously been murdered and no material changes have been achieved. For that reason we are calling for the formation of autonomous cells under the banner of Badger’s Revenge. We know where the badger murderers live, we know their fields, their routes, their barns and farms, in many cases we know their names and businesses and their local involvement in community projects. That is probably the biggest riches we have acquired after so many years opposing the cull. Now, it is time to step up and avenge the murders they have committed.

We are calling for all folks that have opposed the cull and gained insight into the badger murderers to create their own informal, autonomous groups and make them pay for all they’ve done. We don’t care what your tactics are, but we believe the memory of hundreds of thousands of murdered badgers deserve avenging. Move swift in the night. Take their tools, break their shit, send a message. You fucked with the wild for little more than peanuts. Now the wild is back to collect the overdue tax.

– On a warm night in June we paid a visit to a badger murderer in Chipping Norton in Oxfordshire. We targeted them specifically as they run a pheasant shoot in the land. We obliterated their tractor, cutting all hydraulics and cables and filling the diesel tank with bird seed. We slashed the tyres, punctured the shooter trailer’s tyres, slashed the seats and bashed larsens, badger cages, fox traps, squirrel traps and a ladder trap. We also found and took four professional chainsaws that have been sold, with all profits supporting wildlife centers that take care of badgers. This is just the beginning.-

MAY DIRECT ACTION ROUND UP

In the month of May we have received a total of 9 direct action reports from around the world. By country, those are:

GERMANY 3

UK 2

ARGENTINA 2

ITALY 1

USA 1

Interestingly for the first time this year, flesh, dairy and eggs targets landed on top of hunting targets! There were also five different liberations in UK, Argentina, Germany and the USA.

In other news, we shared about the boycott of IARC due to their pro-zionist stance. They made an announcement were they sat on the fence, but then in the comment section IARC’s founder showed their true colours with a nice little “not all zionists”. So we doubled down and shared animal liberation summer gatherings we think are worth going to instead of IARC. We are open to sharing more, so please send us your links! For now we have published about EF! Animal Lib stream, Denmark conference for animal liberation, Total Liberation Gathering and International animal liberation gathering. If you know of any other events, do share!

Our paypal also went down and we had to ask for donations over crypto. Unfortunately we did not receive any donations, but a private individual reached out to offer support and paid for our servers. Please, if you can afford it, donate some coins to UA. We don’t do this for money but the infrastructure is costly and we cannot just expect private individuals to cover the costs when we hit an emergency situation!

That’s all for May, keep fighting!

PIGLET LIBERATED FROM A CAGE.

May, Argentina.

via: @anarcoveganismo.arg

ENGLISH (translation):

“ROSITA’S LIBERATION.

Somewhere in the territory occupied by the oppressive Argentinean state.

In Latin America and especially in Argentina animals are traded both officially by the meat industry and in clandestinity. Cows, chickens, hens, ducks and other species are part of the speciesist trade in a large part of the cities and in rural areas.

An activist after having investigated an area of low houses found the exact location where Rosita, a baby pig only a few months old, was being sold in a cage inside the house.

“I spoke to her exploiter on Facebook to get the location, pretending that I was interested in the purchase, it is difficult sometimes to get the address, but I got him to give it to me, then I walked by during the night and saw behind a fabric that the exploiter had several baby pigs in small cages. I left the car running and did not hesitate to jump the not so high fabric but only managed to take one, now she is with me and will have a different fate, she will be free.”

All animals suffer from disdain and commercialism, their bodies are exchanged for objects or even for household appliances and then they are raped and reproduced to be exploited and to sell their offspring. There are no laws that regulate even their commercialization since they are “farm animals” and are considered “raw material” or “merchandise”.

We celebrate every life saved from the knife, every cage that is opened, every slave freed and even if we cannot free all animals, it is a life, the life of a person of another species that deserves to be free just like us.

SPANISH (original):

“Liberación de Rosita

En alguna parte del territorio ocúpado por el estado opresor argentino.

En latinoamerica y sobre todo en argentina los animales son comercializados tanto de manera oficial por la industria cárnica como clandestina.Vacas, pollos, gallinas, patos y otras especies son parte del comercio especista en gran parte del conurbano como de las zonas rurales.

Un activista luego de haber hecho una investigación en una zona de casas bajas se encontró con la ubicación exacta donde vendían a rosita, una chancha bebé de unos pocos meses en una jaula dentro del domicilio.

“Había hablado con su explotador por Facebook para que me pasara ubicación disimulando qué me interesaba su compra, es difícil aveces que te den la ubicación, pero conseguí que me la diera , entonces pase durante la noche y vi detras de un tejido que tenían a varios chanchos bebés dentro de pequeñas jaulas, deje el auto en marcha y no dude en saltar el no tan alto tejido pero solo logre llevarme a uno, ahora se encuentra con migo y tendrá un destino diferente, será libre.”

Todos los animales sufren el desprecio y su mercantilismo, sus cuerpos son intercambiados por objetos o hasta por electrodomésticos y luego son violados, y reproducidos para luego ser explotados y vender a sus hijos. No hay leyes que regulen ni siquiera su comercialización ya que son “animales de granja” y son considerados “materia prima” o “mercancía” .

Celebramos cada vida salvada del cuchillo, cada jaula que se abre, cada esclavo liberado y aun que no podamos liberar a todos los animales es una vida, la vida de una persona de otra especie que merece ser libre igual que nosotros.”

BAVARIA ANIMAL LIBERATION FRONT HELPS FREE FOUR PIGLETS FROM A FLESH FARM.

Delayed Report, May, Bavaria Germany.

received anonymously via email:

“On the 26th of december 2024 the ALF liberated four piglets from a conventionel pig breeding factory farm in bavaria.

It was a quick hit and run action. We told ourelves for the animals safety it is best to be as quick as possible. We went in, found the mother sows wiht their piglets, took four of them in our carriers and left, disappearing in the cold darkness.

Although we were in the facility for just a few minutes what we saw inside still haunts us to this day.

Behind the first door we entered, we found sows lying cramped in crates. Their backs were turned towards us, the direction of the door.

Noticing us from behind they tried to stand up, moving around, started to make a lot of noise. They clearly were in fear and tried to just escape the situation. But the steel crates did barely allow any movement so they hit their bodys against the steel crates. This sight of terrified beings, cramped so tightly in a crate that every attempted movement just resulted in hitting against the steel bars of the crates, completely unable to change their situation, THIS sight broke our hearts.

Because of the loud noise we quickly left again and closed the door. In this room were the mother sows without piglets.

We opened another door and here they were: Mothersows lying on blank concrete, fixed in one position, unable to even turn around, their piglets all over the place.

We took four of the older piglets, not the just born ones, because we assumed the older ones have a higher chance of survival, are almost weaned of and will be taken from the mothersow not later than a few days anyway.

At home we took care of them as good as we could, went to the vet withing the next days.

Now for the piglets the beautiful part of their story began. It did not take a long time until they really enjoyed their new home and discovered their new enviroment.

We worked around the clock to find a new permanent home for them. And eventually we did. Now they are having a permanent home at a sanctuary. (see picture)

It brings undescribable joy to our hearts seeing these animals , whose fate should have been the filthy, lifeless enviroment of a factory farm and a cruel death in a slaughter house, now running around on a sanctuary, breathing fresh air, playing and sleeping in hay.

This experience strengthend the will to see this injustice end! The recall of what was inside this factory farm reinforces the determination to fight back even harder.

We never, never surrender to injustice and evil.

We keep fighting for freedom and justice.

Until every cage is empty.

Lets make the ALF a threat for animal abusers all over the world.

Greetings of Love and Resistance from bavaria ALF”

INTERNATIONAL ANIMAL LIBERATION GATHERING IN APPELSCHA, NETHERLANDS.

WHAT: Anarchist, animal liberation gathering

WHEN: 7-10th August

WHERE: Camping tot Vrijheidsbezinning, Appelscha Netherlands.

BiteBack NL organises an animal liberation gathering in the anarchist camping grounds of Appelscha.

Coming up to their second year, the international event features workshops, lectures, vegan food, community, rest, movies, bands and stalls. The even is fully in English.

Interestingly, the event is hosted in a very historically important landmark for anarchism. The camping ‘Tor Vrijheidsbezinning’ was once upon a time a potato field, purchased by anarchists back in 1933 and turned into a place of gathering and camping where many activist events have been organised ever since. The location has multiple venues as well as a few toilets and showers, but you’ll need to bring a tent to sleep!

Food is provided by Le Sabot, an activist political kitchen run by anarchists. They cook fully vegan and organic. The organisation asks for an 8.50 EUR donation per day for food, which includes breakfast, lunch and diner, but if you can’t afford it, donate less, and if you can afford donating more, please do so so it helps others!

The event asks for signing up so that they know how many people to expect, and they ask for a 30 EUR contribution for the whole three days. If you can’t afford that, please drop them a message so they know you’re coming, you will not be turned away if you can’t afford the ticket.

They’re also still looking for contributors! Do you have something to say? Some workshop to give, or a movie to show, or a stall to set up? Drop them an email as there are still spaces!

WHEN: 11th-13th July.

WHERE: Sumac Centre, Nottingham UK.

Their aim is to provide a space where the vegan movement and other liberation movements can unite under a philosophy of Total Liberation.

They are looking for people to give workshops on any topics related to antispeciesism, activism, intersectionality, veganism and total liberation. Contact them if there is some knowledge you can offer!

Food will be provided by Veggies Catering, which is always vegan. There will be limited spaces to sleep at the Sumac Center, but you might need to bring a sleeping bag and mattress.

They have a contact form so you can register as an attendee and so they can keep an eye on numbers for food and other organising bits!

They are also asking for donations at the minute to cover costs of the event, but as far as we can tell the event does not have ticket costs.
