Mexico - "PASSIVITY MAKES YOU COMPLICIT"

received anonymously:

"January 11:
Seeing that our brother animals were victims of torture and their torturers were exploiting them to earn more and more money, the Animal Liberation Front - Commando Green Black attacked Rolan's Circo, a circus that uses dogs and sea lions in its 'shows.' Tired of this situation we decided to paint slogans on circus trucks, on the tent, and on walls.
Passivity makes you complicit, use direct action and declare war on speciesm!

Spanish:
"11 de Enero:
Al ver que nuestros hermanos animales estaban ciendo victimas de la tortura y que sus verdugos los explotan para ganar mas y mas dinero, el Frente de Liberacion Animal - Comando Verde Negro llevo un ataque a Rolan's Circo, circo que utiliza a perros y lobos marinos en sus 'shows'; cansados de esta situacion decidimos ir y realizar diferentes pintas en el transporte de propaganda del circo, en su carpa, en su fachada y lo hicimos!
La pasividad te hace complice, utilicemos la Accion Directa y declaremosle la guerra al especismo!
FLA-CVN"
