Romania - CRUEL PET STORE PAINTED

received anonymously:

"We are a small group of vegetarians, we love and respect life, nature, animals and admire everything thats being done by ALF all over the world in the name of animal's freedom.

We spotted a pet shop in our home town where they treat animals badly, keep them in small cages, trying to sell them for lots of money. The conditions are terrible, these poor animals have to stay in those small cages 24/7 and practically grow up between bars. So we thought it would be a good idea to spray paint the shop, it was our first action of such kind, it is not much but we think its a good start. We took some pictures but unfortunately we only caught the birds, the animals were in the back. We would be proud to see Romania among all the other countries who are fighting for animal rights.

P.s. The translation is 'Infested with distemper. Do not buy!' and, of course, ALF"

***This is the first reported action to Bite Back from Romania.

Mexico - CIRCUS BIG TOP, CARS PAINTED

anonymous report:

"On December 24, the Animal Liberation Front - Mexico (FLAM) painted on a circus where they have imprisoned our brothers and humiliated and tortured them physically and psychologically. NO MORE CIRCUSES WITH ANIMALS was what appeared on the big top and cars of circus speciests.
No more speciesism, long live the FLAM!"

Spanish:
"el pasado 24 de diciembre, el Frente de Liberacion Animal Mexico (FLAM) hizo pintas en un circo en donde tienen a nuestros hermanos presos de la humillacion y de la toruta fisica y psicologica, NO MAS CIRCOS CON ANIMALES fue lo que aparecio en la carpa y autos de especistas cirquences.
no mas especismo, viva el FLAM!"

USA - STINKING MESS LEFT AT FUR STORE

reported anonymously:

"Today, on Christmas Eve, a fur-selling Brooklyn boutique was visited by the ALF at their peak shopping hours. One activist distributed liberal amounts of Liquid Ass, a product that, when sprayed, is the noxious and overpowering stench of rotting shit.

Fur stinks and your entire store, the carpets, the clothing, and especially the fur and fur trimmed items, were sprayed with the Liquid Ass and all smelled like the inside of an asshole in minutes.

Victory was already beginning as leaving the disgusting fur-filled store, a pair of potential customers walked in, visibly gagged on the rotting, putrid stench and promptly left. It's sure that they're not the only customers who went elsewhere to do their last minute shopping.

A message to anyone who sells fur in Brooklyn: This was only a calling card. STOP SELLING FUR!

Next time you might find your locks glued, your windows broken, or worse...

Happy Holidays,
ALF"

Austria - WINDOWS ETCHED AT FUR STORE

France - ALF VISIT FURRIER AT HOME

received anonymously:

"On a night in December 2007, ALF France visited a furrier at his home in Bordeaux. 'Murderers,' 'GRAMA LIVES AT NO. 16' and 'ALF' were painted on the walls of his street.

We also lit a fire in front of the door to his parking spot.

Nous avons également allumé un feu devant la porte de son parking… C’est notre façon de dire à cet assassin que nous commençons à perdre patiente. Ou GRAMA arrête son cruel business ou on continue mais nous serons moins gentil à l’avenir.

Mexico - PET STORE ATTACKED

received anonymously:

"On the night of December 24 while speciests devoured the corpse of a turkey, we attacked a pet store and painted ANIMAL LIBERATION on its facade, walls and floor.
FORWARD WARRIORS OF FLA!"

Spanish:
"La noche del 24 de diciembre mientras los especistas devoraban el cadaver de un pavo, fue atacada una tienda de mascotas con algunas pintas de LIBERACION ANIMAL en su fachada, paredes y piso.
ADELANTE COMBATIENTES DEL FLA!
FRENTE DE LIBERACION ANIMAL"

Germany - RABBITS LIBERATED

Two rabbits were freed from a hobby breeder in the town of Neumünster. The activists report that the rabbits are flourishing in their new 20m² enclosure. They write, "Although a handful of animals does not compare to the billions of terrified animals, we must always remember that EACH life counts; whether 1 animal or 1000 animals are liberated it is always worthwhile and encourages us to do more." The activists also report that in October, 10 duck chicks were freed from a breeding facility in Lower Saxony.

anonymous communique:
"Vor der Weihnachtszeit wurden bei einem Hobbyzüchter aus Neumünster 2 Schlachtkaninchen befreit, die ca. 7 kg wiegen und wo keiner weiss, ob sie doch an Herzverfettung sterben werden. Wie es aussah waren die Kaninchen bereits reserviert und der Hobbyzüchter wird immerhein einen wirtschaftlichen Schaden von ca. 60€ davon tragen was nun mit der Freiheit der Kaninchen nicht zu messen ist, die beiden Mädels blühen jetzt schon auf in ihrem neuen 20 m² grossen gehege mit Gartenhaus.

Im Oktober konnten bereits 10 Entenküken aus einer Zuchtanlage in Niedersachsen befreit werden.

Auch wenn eine Handvoll Tiere kein vergleich zu Millarden geqäulten Tieren ist, so muss ich doch immer wieder sagen JEDES Leben zählt, ob man 1 tier oder 1000 Tiere befreit es lohnt sich immer und motiviert einen weiter zu machen."
