REPORTS



Netherlands: ALF ACTION AT HOME OF HLS CLIENT EXECUTIVE

reported by activists in the Netherlands:

"The DBF visited the house of Eric Gorka in Soest on Thursday, the 24th of January. Eric is an executive at Sandoz, a Novartis company with close connections to HLS. Thursday night we reminded Eric that it is unacceptable to earn money from the torture of animals. His car was paintstripped and all 4 tyres slashed. His house has been spraypainted with the text 'Scum' and 'ALF'. The can blocked so we couldn't spraypaint more slogans, although we think Eric and his colleges are getting the message. Stop dealing with HLS, if not we know where to find you one by one.
DBF"

France: "VIANDE=MEURTRE," BUTCHERS PAINTED

received anonymously:

"In the night of Sunday to Monday, two butchers have been painted with
'Viande=meurtre' and 'ALF'.
Abolish meat!"



UK: ANTI-HLS SLOGANS PAINTED ON PHARMACY

anonymous communique:

"ALF activists paid a visit to an Alliance Unichem store in East Yorkshire, 'VIVISECTION KILLS', 'NOVARTIS/GSK PRODUCTS TESTED AT HLS', and 'HLS CLOSE THEM DOWN' were sprayed all over the shutters and signs. Wherever Novartis and Glaxo sell their products we will target, until both withdraw support for HLS.

On our way back we drove past a butchers so we thought we'd give it the ALF treatment as well, locks glued and 'MEAT = MURDER' was sprayed on the windows.

This is just the beginning, as long as animal torture continues we will be out taking action on behalf of the voiceless. Novartis, GSK, HLS, Butchers, and Slaughter houses are one and the same, they engage in mass murder for mass profits. We say no more, it ends here! We will make you pay for your crimes.

Until all are free,

A.L.F"

Mexico: ATTACK ON RESTAURANT

received anonymously:

"On the night of January 27 in the town of Coacalco, Mexico State, activists from the Frente de Liberacion Animal Mexico (FLAM) dedicated ourselves to an attack on a restaurant selling the dead bodies of chickens and rabbits. We could not sit back and do nothing-- the entire facade of the restaurant (tiles, shelves, windows, walls) were covered with slogans, 'Meat = Death', 'Murderers!' And 'FLA'.
We can all contribute to this fight, do not continue just watching-- take action!
Revenge for the animals!"
