BIRDS FREED FROM AVIARY (Chile)

anonymous report (translation):

"During the night of Friday, April 10th we headed toward the financial center of Santiago, located in one of the most bourgeois parts of the city, Las Condes. There we arrived at the Plaza Peru where for decoration there is a large bird cage that houses about 50 birds, and which prevents them from flight. In this plaza there is a guard whose guardhouse is about 4 meters from the cage and in one of the corners there is a police station.

Upon arriving at the place we noticed that the plaza guard was inside his guardhouse and we could act behind his back, but in the station that is right in the corner of the plaza the police make rounds at specific times, walking or in patrol cars. Yet nothing intimidated us and we decided to go ahead; with the help of some pliers we managed to open a large hole in the cage so that the birds could escape. We do not know exactly how many birds managed to escape, we hope that there were many.

As bitter enemies of authority we want the destruction of all the cages that lock up humans and animals, along with all existing power relations.
We wll not remain calm waiting for others to act for us; nor will we wait for legal protection for our brothers and sisters. Direct action is acting for liberation now!

This action is in solidarity with our comrades imprisoned for fighting against authority throughout the world and for the thousands of animals held hostage by anthropocentrism!

Adventure is better than caution!

Today it was one of their cages, next it will be one of their houses!

ALF HOME VISIT FOR COCKFIGHTER (Mexico)

reported anonymously (translation):

"On April 13, protected by the night, the ALF of Mexico has once again visited the home of a bastard who breeds roosters to make them fight one another in Mexico State.

This time we came to the doors of his disgusting home and we chaotically sprayed paint on his door and we also left a message that said: 'As long as you continue locking-up animals in your damned cages, our attacks will intensify. This is no joke ...'

We will come back to your house and we will avenge the animals.

OPEN RESCUE OF 61 HENS IN MEMORY OF JILL PHIPPS (Czech Republic)

reported on  http://michalkolesar.net;
click here for video and more photos from the rescue:  http://michalkolesar.net/?p=2507#more-2507

"In April 2009 there were 61 hens freed from battery cages and put in new, safe homes.
Animals are not a gift, neither is their rescue. Therefore not even this rescue is meant as a gift. It is only related to memory of a woman who did not want to just watch the useless pain and suffering of animals.
Fourteen years ago Jill Phipps died. It was Wednesday, 1st February of 1995. During a protest against transports of calves in Coventry, she stayed under the wheels of a truck which was loaded with these animals. She was 31.
I remember. We remember.
