MESSAGE SENT TO BULLFIGHT SUPPLIER (Mexico)

anonymous report (translation):

"Incendiary visit by FLA Guadalajara to the house of a bullfighting supplier

In today's society there are speciesist, dominator and capitalist cultures who profit from the pain and suffering of animals; one of these traditions is the bullfight, within which are people who profit from all of this, insensitive business people who earn money through the pain and tears of others. One of these exploiters is: Francisco Rodolfo, a cynical profiteer and supplier for a culture based in hate and cowardice. So during the early morning hours of the first of May, in one of the bourgeois residential areas of our city, the Guadalajara FLA put an incendiary device at the gate outside his home. The device worked perfectly and burned the whole door, giving this bastard murderer a threat and worry!

We also want to take this opportunity to return a greeting to the compañeros of the FLA in other cities, separated by distance but united in the same conviction.

LIBERATION OF THE ANIMALS AND THE EARTH NOW!"

CARS SET ON FIRE AT HOME OF FUR FARMER (Italy)

reported by activists in Italy:

"April 29th, Novi di Modena (Italy)
Italian newspapers report that three cars of mink farmer Luciano Gasparini Casari were set on fire in the courtyard of his house during the night. His son helped firefighters to control the flames.
Newspapers report that it is clearly the work of animal liberationists, since his farm has been raided twice in the past (the last time just a few months ago)."

BANKS, MEAT MARKETS, LUXURY CARS TARGETED IN NIGHT OF ACTION (Mexico)

received anonymously (translation):

"SABOTAGE, INCENDIARIES, PAINT AND BROKEN WINDOWS AGAINST THE DESTROYER CAPITALISM IN MEXICO CITY

Last night, April 30, as a response to the call for a day of action against capitalism and in solidarity with the prisoners of social war, the following sabotages were carried out:

* In the City of Nezahualcoyotl, Mexico State: 3 Bancomer and h.s.b.c. ATMs were incinerated. 1 Bancomer bank was sabotaged with paint on its windows.

* In the Ixtapalapa borough, Mexico City: 1 Banamex ATM was burned with a molotov.

* In the Xochimilco borough, Mexico City: 2 skotia banck ATMs were incinerated. 4 luxury automobiles from a Jeep and Chrysler dealership were incinerated. 7 Telmex corporation phones were sabotaged. 6 meat markets were glued. Various churches and schools were painted.

* In the Azcapotzalco borough, Mexico City: various paintings were done against the construction of a gas station, against the police and in solidarity with prisoners.

* In Ecatepec, Mexico State: 1 window was broken and a camera destroyed at a b.b.v.a. bank.

* In Coacalco, Mexico State: 1 luxury Toyota was incinerated.

For the expansion of social war.

That the flame of insurrection spreads everywhere, that the powers that be tremble, that the world of capital explodes in front of the social uprising. War!!! against those who exploit nature to get rich, against those who kill animals, against those who murder and imprison our compañer@s, social fighters.

The virus of social control, 'swine flu' could not stop us, the virus of the insurrection against the state will expand.
These sabotages claimed:
THE INFORMAL AND INFLAMMATORY COORDINATOR FOR SUBVERSIVE AND DECENTRALIZED ACTION."

NOVARTIS WORKER VISITED AT HOME (Germany)

anonymous report:

"We think that responsibility of murdering animals is keeping Peter Hagmann awake at night. While we were painting his house and garden at 1.30am he heard us and banged his window. Good boy keeping Karin safe at night.
It will not be difficult for us to return to finish the job properly next time...

BUTCHERS PAINTED RED (Switzerland)

During the Easter holiday, windows, walls and several vans at two butchers and a fish shop in Ticino (southernmost Switzerland) were damaged with red paint. Slogans were also painted, such as "A morte i macellai" ("To death the butchers") and "Bastardo di pescatore" ("Bastard fishermen"). In a claim of responsibility sent to newspapers, the Animal Liberation Front promised, "Slaughtered animals you will be avenged."
