Unoffensive Animal

10th February, Bavaria Germany.

According to local media, a hunter in Ansbach has faced continuous sabotage for the past two years. A year ago he fell from a tower that had been sawn and put together again, breaking his hand. The latest attack was fire, and the hunter found his tower burnt to the ground. He estimates the latest attack to have costed him around 1400 EUR. The police say they have no clues as to who the culprits are.

“Last year the state of Victoria in so-called Australia held a public inquiry into duck shooting. The results of that inquiry saw a recommendation to ban duck shooting in Victoria given a majority vote for the ban. On the 29/01/2024, Jacinta Allan went against her own party’s recommendation and has allowed this cowardice “sport” to go ahead. Following the decision, Jacinta Allan went into hiding and has not yet made a statement. Just some little info on Jacinta, she personally supports duck shooting and her husband Yorick Piper, has been seen in photographs with Field and Game representatives.

Fortunately, Jacinta Allan cannot hide from the A.L.F and we are here to show her AGAIN just what happens when you let personal factors influence political decisions that go against the people’s wishes. Two weeks ago, we visited Jacinta Allen’s office with bricks – now we have returned with hammers, spray cans and more determination!

This time it’s personal. Hunters and their political affiliates will continue to be hunted. We will see your pals on the wetlands.

The Labour government that Jacinta represents has not only sentenced native waterbirds to death but is also complicit in the ongoing genocide in Palestine. They continue to supply Israel with arms to carry out their vile acts. This action was taken for the native waterbirds but also for the lives that have been displaced and taken by the IDF. From the river to the sea.

We acknowledge that this action took place on the land of the Dja Dja Wurrung and Taungurung people. We stand in solidarity with First Nations people in their fight against colonialism.

Jacinta’s office is located at 140 Mollison Street, Bendigo East. Feel free to pay her a visit

5th February, Limbaud Forest, Var, France.

According to local media, hunters from Var discovered fourteen hunting towers destroyed earlier this month. They are used to the odd tower being smashed, but they were left perplexed by the amount of destruction unknown perpetrators left behind this time. Anchoring posts dug up, structures knocked down, fittings dismantled: all that remains of the hunting cabins is a pile of wood scattered across the woods.

“Every year, we have tree stands destroyed. Here, or further down, at Le Fraye. But this is the first time we’ve had fourteen in one go” says one of the hunters. “I went to the gendarmerie but, like the other years, it won’t do any good. I’m fed up.”

“Often, we’re insulted, even though walkers or motorcycles and quads aren’t allowed to pass here. We’re not murderers,” says another hunter, who remembers one year when the watchtower was vandalized without the hunter stationed above noticing. “The construction cracked when it was almost two meters high. We had to hoist the colleague out by helicopter – it could have been very serious.”



So far, no one has claimed the action.

14th February, Wettin Forest Germany.

According to local reports, four hunting towers in Wettin Forest, Germany, were found destroyed during Valentine’s day. Wolfgang Buchholz, who organises the hunting in the forest, says that they are suspicious of the Animal Liberation Front due to graffiti they have found in the broken towers reading “ALF” and “hunt hunters”.

“The four best high seats have been knocked over.”, says Wolfgang. A roofed cabin, a particularly high hunting seat and two conveniently located towers were destroyed. Over 2000 EUR worth of damage was done.

Wolfgang believes the attack wasn’t intended to hurt hunters, but believes the methods are unacceptable. “If they really believe that animals should not be shot in the forest, then they can campaign for this through democratic processes”. Wolfgang also laments that there is no insurance to cover the costs of vandalism against hunting structures, so he must pay for the repairs himself.

28th January, Val-De-Dagne France.

According to local media, on the 29th of January when two hunting parties joined forces to hunt during saint Hubert’s day, patron saint of hunting, they discovered their hunting platforms destroyed. No one has claimed the action.

“Within the last 2 weeks the ALF destroyed 15 hunting towers around Meiningen/Thuringia in solidarity with all forest and land defenders around the globe. We are punished, jailed, criminalized or even killed but we are not stepping back!”
