Local media have reported an arson at the home of Paolo and Silvano Fasolo, the owners of a mink farm near Padova. The fire destroyed a van, two cars and a tractor, and damaged machinery and buildings on the property. Damages are estimed to be at least 100,000 Euros.

Animal liberation activists are suspected of setting the fires. The fur farm had previously been targeted; in June 2006* a fire destroyed a building at the farm.

CAR VANDALIZED AT NOVARTIS MEXICO (Mexico)

anonymous report (translation):

"August 19:

The sunroof, roof, glass, hood, security system, doors and other parts of one of the luxury cars belonging to the executives of Novartis were sprayed with red paint in Mexico City.

That car was found in the private parking lot of the animal-torturing company.

With this action in broad daylight we want to show that the threatening words in our email sent to Novartis Mexico are not lies.

Sabotage, until they break with HLS!

WARNING SENT TO NOVARTIS (Mexico)

received anonymously (translation):

"On Monday, August 17th we sent a small message of intimidation to one of the transnational pharmaceutical torturers and killers of animals recently attacked in other countries. The message sent to their headquarters in Mexico City was:

'Recently, employees and executives from your filthy company were attacked in Germany, Belgium and France, and threatened in Italy; the director of Novartis had his home burned in Austria and the grave of his mother was desecrated in Switzerland; all this so that you cut your ties with the laboratory HLS.
What are you waiting for? Maybe you will decide to when we burn your employees' cars, or threaten the people who work at this shitty company, or when they are leaving or when they arrive and find a huge police mobilization after a bomb is placed in front of this property.
The spilled blood of innocent animals in your laboratories will be avenged; with your tears and your own blood you'll pay for it.
We warn you that this is not a game. We speak seriously; now you know who to blame when these and other things happen here at Novartis.
Animal Liberation Front/Frente de Liberación Animal (ALF/FLA México)'

CLAIM OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR GRAVEYARD VISIT (Switzerland)

received anonymously:

"--Location: Friedhof Hof, Chur, Switzerland--
---Target: Daniel Vasella [15.08.1953], lives in Risch---

In the night of the 27/28th July, the Militant Forces entered the graveyard that contains the family graves of Daniel Vasella, CEO/Chairman of Novartis.

The first grave was rearranged as a warning for his coming 56th birthday. Plants were ripped out and two extra crosses naming Daniel and his wife Anne-Laurence Vasella were added to the grave. And the second grave - holding the remains of his immediate family - was dug in order for an urn of ashes to be removed.

--DROP HLS NOW--

On the 15th of August, this message was sent to Daniel Vasella's email:

'Daniel Vasella,
Because of you there are thousands of animals dying unnamed in mass graves, but yours was all too easy to find. If you wish the urn that was taken from the grave to be returned then you need to publically finish with Huntingon Life Sciences immediately.
You have 2 choices Mr Vasella: lose HLS or LOSE THE URN.'

We kidnapped the ashes of one of his immediate family members in order to teach him that in life and death all beings are equal and deserve to be treated so. Until he can show some respect for the animals Novartis sends to slaughter then we see no reason to respect his dead. It could be either of his sisters, one who died of Lymphdrüsenkrebs or one who died in a car accident, or could it be his father who died unexpectectly after an operation when he was 13?

This time you've got the chance to receive back your family's urn in exchange for dropping HLS for now and for ever, Daniel, and if you don't act fast enough we can just empty the urn in the closest TOILET...

The Militant Forces Against Huntingdon Life Sciences"

"digging up grandmothers again i see?"

It has an excellent track record of effectiveness - Newchurch guinea pig farm closed down after it happened. It's not surprising it has happened again. Graveyards and cemeteries aren't well guarded so it's easily done with minimal risk. Non violent direct action at its best.

and its also sick, and lowers you to the level of the torturers.

It doesn't lower you to the level of tortures, to do so you'd have to vivisect vivisectors to achieve this. It's like saying militant anti-fascists lower themselves to Nazi's, but to do so you'd have to imprison fascists in concentration camps and gass them to death.

Without people support.Digging up graves,stealing urns and wrecking gravestones no member of the public would support.And it all spirals back on us. Anything goes with ego consumed AR activists nowadays.
