WINDOWS, DOOR AT MCDONALD'S SMASHED WITH HAMMERS (USA)

anonymous report:

"In the early morning on August 8, in Denver, CO we took action. It was our first A.L.F. Action. Dressed in all back with our faces covered we went to our target, a murdering, capitalist fast food restaurant known as McDonalds. When we got there, there were a few people in their cars in the parking lot and one car in the drive through. They weren’t in the way, so they wouldn’t get hurt, so we just ignored them and proceeded with our action.

We ran up to the McDonalds with our hatchets and hammers and smashed all of its windows on one side of the building and a glass door. Then we ran.

We were warriors that night, fighting for animal liberation and we will continue to fight until the killing and exploitation of all animals is brought to an end.

- A.L.F."
