ARSON ATTACK ON NOVARTIS CLUBHOUSE (France)

anonymous communique:

"10-05-2009, 03.15am
SC Novartis, Saint Louis, France


We are writing to explain the incendiary action on the clubhouse at SC Novartis (St. Louis) - as reported by regional news two days later - that stands in the shadows of Novartis HQ, Basel. The strike was carried out as an attack on the leisure time of the Novartis murderers. While they exercise, playing tennis and other sports, there are animals in cages that have not even the space to walk. As they check their noticeboards (thanks for all the addresses!) and walk round their clubhouse they will come face to face with our painted disagreements and suggestions.

We didn't expect a large fire on the Franco-Suisse border to go unnoticed - or we would have burnt that building to the ground - but we wish to make it abundantly clear that we will be at your workplaces, at your homes, affecting your leisuretime and attacking you wherever we will find you. We are only beginning to show you what we are capable of, the lengths we are willing to go to. Our demands are simple and you know what they are. It's your move.

We're fucking coming for you Novartis...

5 LITERS OF GASOLINE + ONE BUTCHER SHOP (Mexico)

anonymous report (translation):

"In the early morning hours of Thursday, May 14 a cell of the FLA in Guadalajara, inspired by past actions, decided to carry out an action to assert that in our city the animal liberation movement is a threat to all speciesists and exploiters of the earth. This time in a butcher shop, a place of those who profit from the pain and suffering of beings on this planet; the idea was to totally destroy it and to create fear in the operators of these businesses of death. What we did was to spray more than 5 liters of gasoline at the entrance of the place, and threw bottles that containted this liquid; the entire site was sprayed and with a spark the site was left reduced to no more than ashes, and now the speciesists and owners of these businesses will have to have their eyes wide open to resist the threat of the FLA."

ONE LESS BUSINESS, ONE MORE STEP FOR ANIMAL LIBERATION!"

ALF KNOCK-AND-RUN (Belgium)

anonymous report:

"Remember those games of knock-and-run that you used to play as kids, leaving people standing at empty doorsteps? Time to bring them back..

The rules are simple - wake up an animal exploiter in the middle of the night with a special knock-and-run!

Time to get creative!

To start this game off, we visited Baudouin de Canniere. He helps Euronext make money off animal exploitation. After tagging his door at 3am, we banged heavily with an axe and disappeared into the quiet night as it fell hard onto his doorstep..

Drop HLS now!

WINDOWS BROKEN, PAINT THROWN AT CRUEL RETAILER, FUR SHOPS (Finland)

recent actions in Finland, reported on elaintenvapautus.net:

"April

Turku - Six windows smashed from Halonen.

Helsinki - Furshop Biber, window smashed.

Iisalmi - Furniture company Jysk sabotaged, paintbombs thrown on walls
and windows, and slogans painted.

(Jysk uses a lot of feathers that have been ripped from birds that are alive. Actions in Finland against Jysk are probably due to a TV program that covered Jysk's involment in that business)

May

Tampere - Window smashed at Jysk.

Turku - Furshop Angelika sabotaged with three paintbombs."

LOCKS GLUED, WINDOWS SMASHED IN SAN FRANCISCO (USA)

received anonymously:

"Over the last month, no fewer than 2 meat markets and 10 fast food restaurants have had their locks glued and/or windows smashed several times a week. A local Pizza Hut had its gas turned off at peak business hours.

Gluing locks is basically risk free, and insurance doesn't pay for lost business hours. These actions are small individually, but they add up. There's no excuse not to destroy the profit motive.

BROKEN GLASS AT PROPERTY OF COCKFIGHTER (Mexico)

anonymous report:

"On the night of April 17, the ALF of Mexico decided to again visit an old enemy. We decided to visit the property of a breeder of fighting cocks in Mexico State, whick like all 'entertainment' which consists of animal torture, must stop immediately. How? With organized illegal direct action, putting pressure directly on the exploiters.

This time only one of the windows of the facade was broken at the property of that bastard breeder of death, humiliation and suffering, leaving a clear message for the abusers, 'We will continue, until you fall!'

LOCKS DAMAGED AT ANIMAL MARKET (Chile)

anonymous communique (translation):

"Tonight we have interrupted the normal operation of a center of animal extermination. Here they profit every day from rabbits, birds, fish and rodents, subjecting them to an exhausting life of overcrowding inside small cages, displaying them as mere merchandise for consumption by people who pass by and judge their value as an inert form without being aware of the suffering of the being they have in front of them.

It appears absurd to us that beings exist encaged and even more still, the indifference of those who pass them in the street. The logic of exploitation that society requires in order to function enrages us.

We cannot help but feel hatred and rage before the confinement of these animals for profit, similar to the confinement of our comrades in jail, held by the state for taking a stand as warriors against all that exists now.

This past Sunday, May 10, we busted open 17 locks of the market in the Meiggs neighborhood and for a few brief moments interrupted their damned daily routine.

We know that with this we are not even close to securing a final definitive freedom for those imprisoned beings. We know that millions of animals, human or not, continue to be exploited at this very moment and we are clear that although our action today is only a minimal annoyance for the capital, nevertheless, we have armed ourselves with courage and we have thrown ourselves into sticking with this, with the sparkle of revenge in our eyes and the thrill of adrenaline running through us in executing this action that extends beyond the more immediate objectives, to be a nuisance for these exploiters already assumed as our enemies in the authority camp in the social war.

We enjoyed every moment of the action, because it is a concrete attack against a core issue, which is the cage that they want to put in our heads, the fear of authority that they instill in us from birth, the conformist vision that we cannot do anything to break the bars of the mental and physical prison system that they seek to impose on us.

We threaten all forms of power:

We are at war as anti-authoritarians, ready to carry our hatred to the ultimate outcome; we are more refined in our aim each time, until it hits right in the center of their system of exploitation and authority;

The fear and the passivity ...

For the multiplication of the attacks on power and exploitation!

Until all cells and all cages are destroyed!

War against capital!"
