WINDOWS SMASHED AT PET STORE (Mexico)

received anonymously (translation):

"Sabotage of a pet store by the FLA in Guadalajara, Mexico

In the early morning hours of September 3 our cell, enraged by the enslavement of innocent animals by selfish anthropocentrism, decided to remove the peace from the lives of those bastards who take pride in living off the suffering and exploitation of others. This time we returned to smash all the windows of an evil site that sells animals and profits off products for domesticated or dominated beings; we also left a message, STOP ANIMAL EXPLOITATION F.L.A. The following morning the exploiters were troubled by this abolitionist attack, but it was not the first time they had been visited.

WE WILL CONTINUE ATTACKING THE DOMINATION OF ANIMALS AND THE EARTH"

anonymous report (translation):

"On August 26th we entered various shopping centers in different municipalities in Mexico State and discreetly, with a medium-sized needle, perforated 17 tubes of Lamisil cream, a Novartis brand, which can no longer be sold because the cream spills out if you just pick it up to look at it.
