“It’s gonna be another tearful morning for the scumbag butchers at The Ginger Pig. We’ve gone and smashed some windows and spray painted their shiny new front of shop. Those that kill, sell and profit from using and abusing animals should live in dread.
We don’t know if she’d approve but we thought of Regan Russell, who was crushed under a truck that takes animals to slaughter, it’s been a year since her death and she ain’t forgotten.
“The Daoine Maithe were out in the East of Ireland today, they found two tortured magpies bleeding from their beaks inside a Larsen trap, freed them and they flew off. Trap disposed of. AHAB.”
“In late may in Portland, OR, two and a half liters of bleach were poured into a meat truck belonging to Zenners Sausage Company. This was done in attempt to damage the engine of the vehicle and cause financial harm to a business that profits off the enslavement and murder of other sentient beings. Fuck capitalism and civilization, and solidarity with all the rioters and looters in Portland this past year.
“on 12th June we headed to Stutton shooting estate in Suffolk
we picked this date because it coincides with the birthday of our comrade Annna Campbell, who was killed by the fascist Turkish state while fighting for liberation in Rojava
though once a glamorous shooting estate, it’s now seen better days
many of the woods were thick with undergrowth, while release pens already lay dismantled
that’s good. our job was done for us.
but we found two shooting high seats and an old fox trap. we made sure they wouldn’t be used again
solidarity with everyone facing the horrors of the new policing bill, and all those fighting against it
The folks at Wildfire Magazine have reached out to let us know that the next issue of their magazine is fast approaching but that they need some support in order to finalise it. They are collecting pre-print bulk orders from groups, collectives, bookstores and shops that want to order a bunch of mags to raise funds for their projects. These groups can be worldwide.
Bulk orders of the magazine are at 1 GBP per magazine and minimum order is 30 magazines. If your group or collective wants to raise some funds by selling the magazine, or simply they want to create culture and share an animal liberation based magazine with peers, you can contact Wildfire Magazine for more information.
To contact them send an email to WildfireMagazine (at) riseup (dot) net
If you don’t think you can afford to bulk order, but know grassroots groups, or collectives, or campaign organisers and even bookstores and radical shops, tag them, let them know you’d like to see the magazines stocked by your nearest group, share it with them and encourage some orders!
PLEASE NOTE: Whilst we support the work of Wildfire Magazine, we are in no way connected to the organising, printing or making of the magazine. Please do not direct your questions towards us as we can only redirect you to the email mentioned above.
We don’t have a specific calendar date, but about this time five years ago, we started this huge journey. We were born because we felt the animal rights movement needed to be more exposed to radical action and anarchism and couldn’t find any outlets that were using social media to reach out to the mainstream animal liberation community. At the same time, we felt there was a need to bring animal liberation back into the broader anarchist discussion as the radical anti-authoritarian and anarchist movement hugely lacked antispeciesist conversation. We also felt that amplifying prisoner support voices was extremely necessary.
And here we are, five years on, with those goals still in mind. Folks tend to not understand clearly that we serve as a media platform for voices that decide to be anonymous and that we do not take part in illegal action, nor wish to promote it in any way. We get contacted regularly by people who “want to join” but also by animal agriculture agents that accuse us of actions we have received. Those are not the only groups who are confused about what we do. Freedom of the press is an important part of society, yet private companies running social media platforms and even government entities have targeted us regularly. We’ve lost social media platforms and we have even lost a website to the police.
The only thing we can do is to point out that the repressive nature of the state manifests itself in many different ways, including censorship.
Regardless, that does not discourage us. We have lived too many incredible experiences through this project to feel discouraged by the bumps. We’ve met incredible people in one of the biggest and loudest protest camps in Europe, Hambacher Forst. We’ve reported from the frontlines of huge demonstrations and protests as well as small and well organised civil disobedience actions. We’ve sent thousands to prisoners and their support network and created friendships with folks in prison and their families that will last a lifetime.
But the reality of it is that we do not do this for the experiences we get out of it. This whole project, the effort to bring radical media to you, the effort to amplify anonymous voices, to educate on security and to create networks of prison and arrest support is for you. For you, specifically, and for everybody around you. For you, but also for the earth who provides housing to all of us and that holds mountains and forests and lakes that keep us alive. And indeed, for every single creature that crawls, flies, swims or just stands still, with purpose in their life, with hopes, and dreams and families.
The reason we do this is that we believe we must create a world where mutual aid is an everyday thing. Because we believe we can educate folks into being kind, and into taking action when injustice is in front of them. Because we think that another world is possible if you start working towards it.
If you think our work is useful to the broader community, we would very much appreciate your support. We are having some money troubles and the last couple of months have been very difficult, making us unable to send money to prisoners and cutting some corners with the website and servers. We have a Patreon you can join if you’re able to support us that way. If you can, that is ok, because we do not do this for money.
We are not going to make this write up even longer. Five years is a very fucking long time, and we hope we last another five or ten, but we also hope that at some point we are not necessary any longer. We hope one day we can celebrate the fucking revolution with you.
For a world without prisons, or cops, or politicians. For a world without machines harming the earth with their teeth. For a world where all animals are considered equal and for a world where no one is exploited for their labour or mistreated because of their skin colour, gender or who they like to fuck.
“The pet industry have exploited this pandemic like they exploit the animals they sell. Bored and thoughtless people have demanded pets for their entertainment and the breeders have been happy to supply them. During Easter, the objectification of rabbits as things to buy or give as presents increases exponentially, so we thought to raid a pet breeder and take some comrades out.
The breeder we visited has a selection of animals but sadly we couldn’t take all of them. While the breeders slept just meters away we painted some security cameras and quietly entered a shed that housed rabbits and guinea pigs mixed together. To our surprise, a lamb was also locked in the same shed, running around the hutches.
They were confined in small spaces, in disgusting conditions and with very high ammonia smell. We grabbed a few rabbits and disappeared into the night with them. Their nails were so long they couldn’t walk comfortably and they were afraid of human touch, so it will be a long recovery for them.
They will go to loving homes with families who will see them as the individuals they are and not breeding machines or products to sell.
We dedicate this action to all the animals still imprisoned inside the vivotecnia lab and all those fighting to get them out. It has been done before and we can do it again. Break the walls of that lab, liberate those animals!
ALF
UPDATE: A few rabbits turn into many rabbits. It wasn’t surprising that female rabbits coming from that hellhole would be pregnant and we have heard that at least one of the females has given birth. There is no better feeling than knowing that those babies will never know abuse and that their mum will never again be bred.
“At the end of May 2021, in the department of Seine-et-Marne (77), we, antispeciesist activists, destroyed a hunting tower in broad daylight.
A few days before the beginning of the killings authorized by the state, we decided to help the inhabitants of the forest against the ones who would like to see them lose life at the tip of their rifle. For this, we have tried to locate the hunting towers in the areas that will be allowed from June 1st… after a few hours of research we saw one. We approached it seeking possible photo-traps on trees on the sourroundings. There were none. Arrived at the bottom of this solid tower of more than 3 meters high, we understood that we will have to saw the 4 feet and try to topple it. After a few minutes of work, the tower was on the floor. We are hoping that this act of solidarity with the forest inhabitants will save their life. We all know it, without their hunting towers, the shooters are less effective and more vulnerable to the defensive responses of our non-human comrades.
The purpose of this sabotage is to reduce the capacities of the hunters to kill, their finances, their available time and their spirit. Destroying what is useful for those assassins will remove what makes them powerful both physically and mentally… So take your saws, your adjustable wrenchs, and your bolts cutter … and fight alongside the inhabitants of the forest!”

“Fin juin 2021, en France, dans le département de la seine-et-marne (77), nous, activistes antispécistes, avons détruit une tour de chasse en plein jour.
Quelques jours avant le début des tueries autorisées par l’Etat, nous avons décidé de venir en aide aux habitant.e.s de la fôret contre celleux qui voudraient les voir perdre la vie au bout de leur fusil. Pour cela nous avons essayer de localiser les miradors sur les zones de chasse qui seront autorisées à partir du 1er juin… Après quelques heures de recherches nous en avons aperçu un. Nous nous sommes approché.e.s en cherchant les éventuels pièges photos sur les arbres aux alentours. Il n’y en avait pas. Arrivé.e.s en bas de cette solide tour de plus de 3 mètres de haut, nous avons compris qu’il faudrait scier les 4 pieds et tenter de la faire basculer. Après quelques minutes de travail, la tour était par terre. Nous espérons que cet acte de solidarité avec les habitant.e.s de la forêt permettra de leur sauver la vie. Nous le savons, sans leur tour de chasse, les tireurs et tireuses sont moins efficaces et plus vulnérables face aux ripostes défensives de nos camarades non-humain.e.s. L’objectif de ce sabotage est de réduire la capacités des chass-eurs.euses à tuer, leurs finances, leur temps disponible et leur moral.
Détruire ce qui sert à ces assassin.e.s permettra de leur retirer ce qui les rend puissant.e.s tant matériellement que moralement… alors prennez vos scies, vos clés à molette, et vos coupe-boulons… et luttez aux côtés des habitant.e.s de la forêt !”
