ANARCHISTS GLUE BUTCHER SHOPS AND CHURCH LOCKS IN MEMORY OF ANGRY.

26th December Santiago Chie.

ENGLISH (translation, via darknights):

“The last days of December in the midst of the consumerist frenzy for the end of the year celebrations, we, some anarchic individualities, decided to act in memory of our comrade Sebastian Oversluij, 10 years after his death, who was killed by the guard of a bank branch in Pudahuel, when he tried to expropriate it on December 11, 2013.

We grieve for your death Angry… we grieve for your last moments… but we are proud of the life you chose to live. We embrace your anarchic conviction, we embrace your kaos.

In your memory we seal padlocks of a center of profit and animal exploitation, as well as three butcher shops and two places of religious and authoritarian indoctrination, all this in Santiago, Chile.

Sebastián Oversluij presente!
Solidarity with the anti-speciesist and anarkist prisoners.
Nothing is settled.“

SPANISH (original, via ContraInfo):

“Los últimos días de diciembre en medio del frenesí consumista por las celebraciones de fin de año, nosotrxs, algunxs individualidades anárquicas, decidimos actuar en memoria de nuestro compañero Sebastián Oversluij, a 10 años de su muerte, quien fuera asesinado por el vigilante de una sucursal bancaria en Pudahuel, cuando intentaba expropiarla un 11 de diciembre de 2013.

Nos duele tu muerte Angry… nos duelen tus últimos momentos… pero nos llena de orgullo la vida que elegiste vivir. Abrazamos tu convicción anárquica, abrazamos tu kaos.

En tu memoria sellamos candados de un centro de lucro y explotación animal, además de tres carnicerías y dos lugares de adoctrinamiento religioso y autoritario, todo esto en santiago, chile.

Sebastián Oversluij presente!
Solidaridad con lxs presxs antiespecistas y anarkistas.
Nada está saldado.“

WOLF MURDERERS GO INTO HIDING AFTER BEING TARGETED WITH CALTROPS.

13th January, Norway.

According to pro hunting reports, several wolf hunters in Norway have been targeted over night, with activists placing caltrops around their personal homes.

The wolf cull in Norway seeks to murder 18 wolves throughout the country in 2024. The latest wolf census for the country showed a total of 89 wolves living in Norway.

Environmental minster and known wet wipe Andreas Bjelland Eriksen has publicly condemned the actions, saying “I have full respect for the fact that many people want to challenge predator management, but this is done through democratic processes such as campaigning in front of Parliament and being clear in the media, not through illegal actions that can be directly dangerous for those doing a job for the community,”

The “vandalism” and “illegal actions” referred to by Andreas is the direct attack to several hunters who are actively attempting to kill wolves in Kongsvinger area.

Since the news of the caltrops, the wolf cull in the area has been halted. Whilst the hunting team says it is due to the weather and difficult tracking conditions, the police says it is difficult to know when they’ll be ready to go back out hunting.

LOCKS GLUED AT SEVERAL CAFES.

12th January, Copenhagen Denmark.

received anonymously via email:

“Activists had been in contact with the largest coffee chain in Denmark last year about switching to plant based milk as default, and after applying pressure to the company, they agreed they’d try out plant based by default in Copenhagen from January 2024. They lied.

Because of this, activists put super glue in the locks of many of their cafes in Copenhagen and left a clear message on their doors: “ditch dairy”. Activists also left the same message on several other of their cafes, as well as the entrance to their main office in Denmark.

It’s of course not only dairy that we’re against, but all abuse, exploitation and killing, but dairy seems to be the easiest place to start with cafes.”

“IF THE COPS KILL ME I WANT YOU TO RIOT” AVENGE TORTUGUITA.

anonymous submission:

“If the cops kill me I want you to riot
Burn down their stations and set their cars alight
Know that I went out fighting and wish we all
Could just have peace and be free
…
We cannot have peace until this empire falls. Even then, peace takes work and freedom is a constant struggle. If the cops kill me I want you to riot, to kill as many of them as you can.” – Tort’s diary p. 121

Tortuguita lived and died fighting for the dispossessed, the wild, and the feral; against the world of empire, prisons, and police. It was a true warrior who made the forest its home, devoted their life to the struggle, and was willing to die a revolutionary death rather than be captured. We invite all those who knew Tort, and all who were impacted by its life from afar, to take the anniversary of their death as an opportunity to reflect on our own commitments and deepen our resolve, so that we might invigorate and intensify our conflictuality.

Rather than retreat into the bounds of comfort and safety, let us allow our memory of Tort to remind us of what it means to truly act in accordance with our values, and to challenge ourselves to follow through. We are rendered harmless only when we allow our fear of the enemy to eclipse our desires to defend the land and reduce this capitalist hellworld to ashes. Remember that the mechanisms of subjugation and control encroach all around us. Wherever you are, you need not venture far to find the veins of industry; go out and sever them.

We need not be concerned with optics and media portrayals. We have no interest in seeking validation, recognition, or understanding from the same media outlets — agents of the society we wish to destroy — that deadname and misgender Tortuguita and relentlessly whitewash its life as one of nonviolence and passivity. Additionally, to contort our actions to render them acceptable to the general public is to inevitably dull them to the point of irrelevance. To work only within the confines of the existent is to disarm ourselves completely. As anarchists, we are able to speak to each other in a language all our own. When we redecorate walls, shatter windows, and set fires, we speak to each other in ways that the media and the general public need not understand; we become beautiful. When we refuse legibility, when we refuse sympathy and demands, we refuse cooptation, we refuse recuperation, and we seek out life.

Avenge Tortuguita — Avenge the Forest

BANHADO RESISTE, A FAVELA STRIVING FOR AN ANARCHIST FUTURE.

submission via email:

Dear friends and comrades from the whole world: we’re addressing you this email to show what we are suffering and to show you our struggle.

Down here, in the third world, Latin America, Brasil, things are getting tougher everyday. To live here is to live exploited by the rest of your life receiving a minimum wage, and this talking about those who are privileged enough to receive a minimum wage – but there are those who don’t have nothing.

In the favelas for example, very common in Brazil, we fight everyday for the past 100 years against the State, the Police and the Capital.

In this context, the Favela do Banhado, located in the city of São José dos Campos, Brazil, is leading a “green revolution” against the gentrification and the speculators, against the Prefecture and the Judiciary, and against the Police and the Media.

Through a hard, class counsciousness, grassroots envoronmentalist struggle, Banhado is showing to the world it’s beauty and it’s fight. And this fight, is just like David against Goliath.

We are waging a campaign at FireFund.net to raise 15.000 euros to completely transform our community. It’s sad but it’s true: if the State don’t stand for the people, we can only do things with money.

With your support and the help of other “privileged” countries, we can make huge and even miracle things happen down here, at the third world.

Help us transform the Favela do Banhado into a turistic, left-wing, ecological, spot in São José dos Campos.

THE TALON CONSPIRACY, A GOLDMINE OF HISTORY IS BACK! – ACTIVIST RESOURCES

 Editor’s note: Activist Resources is a new series covering any and all websites that might aid activists in their fight for liberation. Send us any suggestions you have over email! 

Many of you have reached out about Talon, asking if we knew why it was down. Well, we can confirm Talon Conspiracy is back online! 

Talon Conspiracy is an incredible website that has over the years archived magazines, zines, leaflets and periodicals of the earth and animal liberation struggles. 

From a collection of Animal Liberation Front Supporters Group magazines to obscure one-off publications, the website is a treasure chest of historical information and is without a doubt worth spending weeks looking around! 

Those pieces of history don’t just inform us of how campaigns used to be run, or what tactics, strategies and discussions the movement has seen over the years (you’d be surprised about how much conversation there has been about racism and transphobia in the movement over the past decades!) But it also is a good research point for current campaigns. 

Many of the places that once were the target of activism still stand, and names and addresses can be found within all those magazines. 

As far as we can tell, the Talon Conspiracy is going to be rebranded as “archive of animal and earth liberation publications”, we will let you know when that has happened, but for now enjoy all the reading material you could ever desire! 

https://thetalonconspiracy.com

Thank you to those who out of love for the movement worked so tirelessly to create this archive, and thank you to those who are now maintaining it! 

SEE YOU IN THE NEXT RIOT!

THREE DEFENDANTS ARE BEING SENTENCED AT READING CROWN COURT 2ND FEB 2024. – CALL FOR COURT SUPPORT

Over the past years, an animal rights court case has been going on in the UK under a reporting ban, stopping the publicity of it. Folks are now asking for solidarity and support during their sentencing. Read their words below: 


“there is an ongoing animal rights case going through the Crown Court, regarding the rescue of animals. there is still a reporting ban in place, so we are extremely limited on the information we can share with you and the questions we can answer. one defendant was recently found “Not Guilty” by the jury, one is still yet to stand trial, one is awaiting a retrial, and three are due to be sentenced at Reading Crown Court on 2nd February 2024. we are calling for a show of support for them in court on this date, please share widely and come along if you can!

as raw as emotions might be on the day, we ask that you don’t behave in any way that could possibly backfire on the defendants in this case. please refrain from bringing any banners or placards, any that can be used will be provided. if you want to sit in on the actual hearing, it’s worth noting that your bags will be searched and any face coverings will (most likely) have to be removed. you won’t be alone if you choose to stay outside!

please have a read of this court support guide from Bristol Anti-Repression Campaign (@bristolantirepression), if you haven’t attended before. hope to see some of you there!”

LADISLAV KUC IS FREE! – PRISONER SUPPORT

Ladislav Kuc is a Slovakian animal liberation activist who has served a 12 year sentence after an explosive action in front of a McDonalds that resulted in no injuries or harm to anyone.

He was imprisoned on the 1st January 2012 and over the years his sentence was appealed over and over, at some point facing 25 years with the terrorism enhancements. He has served 12 years and is now out of prison.

His time in prison has been difficult and he has been denied basic medical care so he has spent the past few weeks sorting out doctors appointments.

On communications with him, he sounds incredibly grateful for all the support he has received, from donations to letters and has sent love to all who have reached out over the years.

Life back from prison is not easy transition. Lado has been in prison for over a decade, so a lot of things have changed, but also he still owes a big fine and money to his lawyer. We haven’t worked out how much is owed yet, so for now we are just re-sharing PhillyABC’s fundraiser for him, until we work out better options to get money to him and how much is actually needed.

Please join us in wishing Ladislav a huge welcome back to the outside and please, please donate a few coins to the fundraiser. He owes 1000s and needs all the support he can get. Even 5 USD is a massive help.

WELCOME BACK LADO!

Received anonymously via email: 



ENGLISH (translation):



“The only toast and the only celebration in which we participate is animal liberation!

40 of our brothers will start the new year as free individuals.

Tonight 15 hens, 1 rooster, 9 white doves and 14 pigeons were freed from captivity and a situation of severe mistreatment. Locked up without water or food, they were seen by the human tormentor as objects for his own use and consumption!

We will never stop until every cage is empty!

“L’ unico brindisi e l’ unica festa a cui partecipiamo è la liberazione animale!

40 nostri fratelli inzieranno l’ anno nuovo da soggetti liberi.

Stanotte 15 galline, 1 gallo, 9 colombe bianche e 14 piccioni sono stati liberati dalla prigionia e da una situazione di grave maltrattamento. Rinchiusi senza acqua né cibo, erano visti dall’ umano aguzzino come oggetti a proprio uso e consumo!

FOLKS FIGHTING THE MURDER OF WOLVES IN NORWAY NEED YOUR SUPPORT RIGHT NOW!

Help wolf activists pay fines! (Link below)

“Six wolf activists saved wolves that were confined by hunters and received fines of 73,000 Norwegian kroner (EUR 6,500) for it. This fundraising campaign aims to gather enough money to cover the fines for the activists. Any remaining funds will be used for legal expenses if the case goes to court and for a fine fund if similar actions occur again.

In the early hours of Tuesday 2 January six Norwegian wolf activists entered the hunt area of Aurskog-Høland in southern Norway. Hunters had been tracking a number of wolves from the Fjornshöjden pack, limiting the animals’ movement with flag-lines.

It is common practice in Norway for hunters to harry wolves using flag-lines, temporary fences many miles long that the wolves do not dare to cross. The fenced area is tightened until the wolves have little freedom of movement. At this point all the wolves within the fenced area are shot.

The hunt began on New Year’s Day, and by nightfall a number of wolves were trapped in the flag-lined area. The hunters decided that the flag lines should stand over night, so that the wolves would be easier to kill next day.

Wolves from the pack were heard calling to each other across the flag-lines. The trapped animals were in all likelihood highly stressed, unable to return to the safety of the pack.

At the darkest point of the night six activists slipped quietly into the area. The activists removed large parts of the fence, allowing all but one of the animals to escape and return to their family members. Sadly, one wolf did not escape. This was the alpha female, mother of this year’s litter of cubs. She was shot on 2 January. But hunters confirmed that several of the cubs survived.

Five of the six activists were arrested. They spent the night in police cells, and were fined a total of NOK 73,000 (EUR 6,500).”

Please donate generously. At the time of this post, they have already managed to raise 62k NOK. It would be incredible if we could help get them over the 11k NOK left, so donate if you can afford it but if you’re unable to, please share to every platform you can think of!
