PAYBACK TIME FOR NOVARTIS WORKERS (Germany)

anonymous communique:

"On a night in December 7 Novartis executives and lab workers got a visit at home. The head office of Novartis is located in Basel, Switzerland and that's where these cowards work. These scumbags have been trying to hide by living just across the border of Switzerland in Germany. We will track down every single of one of you and make sure you will all get the treatment you deserve. Dealing with Huntingdon Life Sciences means getting a visit at your homes, family, friends and every single thing that is part of your private life. Novartis is dealing with Huntindon Life Sciences and that means we will give you HELL Novartis.

This time we took out our skimasks, spray paint, tools, paint stripper and petrol bombs. Next time we will just take out our SKIMASKS and BASEBALLBATS. It's less expensive, more easy and more effective. So ask yourself, who will be next?

We started our payback time at the house of Martin Morawietz, an executive at Novartis. This man has been smart by hiding his car but has a nice big white house which was covered in red spray paint saying things like drop hls, scum, murderer and on his garage we spray painted in huge letters 'Murderer lives here' so all his neighbors could see he's a murderer.

We have been spying from the bushes in your garden on you Martin while you were having dinner with your family. We noticed you are having a son, is he someone close to you Martin? Remember what we wrote earlier, who will be next?

Next was Matthias Staufenbiel, we paint stripped his big van in front of his house and slashed the tires. The house was covered in slogans. We know you are having your acupuncture centre at home Gabriele (Matthias his wife). This means you're home alone sometimes? The fire brigades in front of your house won't come and save you, we are professionals in sneaking around silently and breaking inside places.

Juergen Brokatzky-Geiger, executive at Novartis, did you like your paint stripped car, flat tires and spray paint on your house? We hope you do too Karin! It was funny how we were spray painting your house while you and your wife were still awake with the lights on. If you didn't see us, we were just sitting underneath your kitchen window! Good thing for you, you didn't come out..

Barbara Lücker was next having her car paint stripped, tires slashed and slogans sprayed on her house. You should watch your back too Achim!

The next house of Volker Brinkmann was quite funny. We found 3 cars in front of the garage doors next to your entrance, we weren't sure which one was yours so we just pain stripped them all and slashed the tires. To make sure your neighbors knew who to blame we covered your entrance with slogans.

Next visit was a special one and the final blow. These 2 murderers of Novartis, Beate Sachers and George Martiny-Baron are neighbors. Bad decision, you just make it so easy for us! We first spray painted the house and car of Beate Sachers and slashed the tires. To finish the night we placed petrol bombs under two cars belonging to Sofia Baron, the wife of George Martiny-Baron who works at Novartis. You've got something to explain to your students of your dancing school at home Sofia for what your husband is doing! Your students could easily be followed home... We hope your cars burned to ashes Sofia!

It is clear to you Novartis, DROP HUNTINGDON LIFE SCIENCES or things will turn out bad for you. The animals in HLS live in a hell so will give you back what you did to them, WE WILL GIVE YOU HELL. We will continue the war by attacking your executives and other workers one by one, petrol bomb by petrol bomb, until you DROP HLS.

FLAMES DAMAGE BULLRING (Mexico)

received anonymously (translation):

"On December 16 we climbed the walls of a bullring that is in under reconstruction, in Mexico State, and we found ourselves inside, in that place where dozens of defenseless bulls are murdered and where they had been planning to go back to torturing. We made the following sabotages:

· Tools that were hidden under old blankets were expropriated for future actions.

· Dozens of slogans against bullfighting were painted inside of the concentration camp, such as "Shitty Bullfighters', 'Where there is torture, there can be neither art nor culture', 'Speciesists!', 'If you go back to torturing animals you should accept the consequences!', 'Frente de Liberación Animal' among others...

· Incendiary devices were placed at strategic points in the bullring.

· At 50 meters from the plaza a large ad said 'Plaza de toros,' now you see 'Plaza de tortura.'

These sabotages were done in response to the unforgivable torture of the bulls before and after leaving the ring by the bloodthirsty sadists.

We will not tolerate the torture of any animal and we will stop it with sabotage and animal liberation.

After the action a few meters from the plaza of torture, the flames of the avenging fire could be seen in small windows of that place, the smoke coming out in large amounts from inside and a beautiful full moon was lighting our path.

DOGS RESCUED FROM FILTHY CITY POUND (Mexico)

received anonymously (translation):

"December 15:

A municipal dog pound in Mexico State received a visit from the Frente de Liberación Animal – Comando Verde Negro (FLA-CVN) at night when we cut a hole in one of the gates that surround this center of torture and endless murder of hundreds of dogs each year; while one of us was distracting the 'guard' dogs in the front, we went along the side to the prisoners.

The cages were very small and more than 5 animals were housed in each one, all these prisons were very dirty, the floor was stained with filth and diarrhea and the doors were covered with wire.

Human beings play with the lives of others, play at being a god, because of this many times the different breeds of dogs (in this case) are disposable objects for the human. The dogs who are sick and weak end up at the dog pound where they sacrifice some, they send others to be experimented on at places where their agony is prolonged... many say that a dog is a man's best friend, but what kind of friend is the man who at the moment that 'their' dog is sick will give him to the dog pound, where he will suffer cruel treatment and will have an unjust and painful death?

Quickly through the hole that we got open with some cutters, we managed to take 25 of these dogs from their respective prisons where they were crowded in.

After a short period of time, the guard dogs, at seeing the others running out, joined them by another gate that we opened.

And to end the 'night of dogs' we put an incendiary device in one of the vans in the dog pound, so that it is now unusable; the capture of more dogs has been complicated for them, because after the fire they will have to buy another van.

We will not allow animals to lead a shitty life and we will rescue them from their cells!
If the animal abusers impart terror, we will terrorize them in the same way!
Celebrate animal liberation with actions not just words!

FLA –CVN – México"
