DOG RESCUED FROM ABUSE, IN HONOR OF IMPRISONED ACTIVIST (Spain)

received anonymously (translation):

"In some areas and neighborhoods in Granada people still enjoy watching dogs fight until death. The money passes from hand to hand while the blood flows onto the ground. Some of the dogs, dying, are put into plastic bags to suffocate, and thrown in a dumpster. This was to be the fate of Mel, a young pitbull who we rescued from appalling conditions; it was clear the end that he was destined for.

In honor of our compañero Mel Broughton, we decided to give the same name to this freed dog, as a symbol of the work and effort that Mel, now imprisoned for his work on the SPEAK campaign, dedicated to all animals.

This was for you, you can count on our support.

Frente de Liberación Animal."

THOUSANDS OF MINK FREED FROM CAGES (Italy)

Local newspapers report that late on February 9 as many as 3000 mink were freed from cages at the Italo Rossi fur farm in Fossoli (Modena). Lighting and alarm systems were disabled during the raid, and "ALF" and "Close down this concentration camp" was painted at the property.

MESSAGE LEFT FOR OWNER OF LEATHER COMPANY (Mexico)

received anonymously:

"On Thursday night, the 12th of this month, we once again visited the murderous 'Mendele' leather corporation in Mexico City (D.F.).
This time we painted slogans such as: skin = death, and a message for one of the owners: 'Aaron, you are in the sights of these f.l.a.'; we also sealed the lock on the front door.
If Mendele does not stop murdering animals, the f.l.a. will stop them our way, the only, necessary way to ensure animal liberation.
Frente de liberacion animal...mexico."

FLAMING BARRICADE BLOCKS HIGHWAY (Mexico)

anonymous report:

"We have blocked a major highway in Mexico State with a barricade made by the Luddites Against Domestication of Wild Nature. The fire lit up the dark night of peace and tranquility for those people who carry in large trucks 'raw materials' extracted directly from the earth. The chaos was again before the eyes of the police who arrived on the scene to put out the incendiary fiesta.

We break their precious social order with our wild, insurgent and radical methods of struggle."
