MEAT TRUCK COVERED IN PAINT (Spain)

anonymous report:

"Tonight we found a truck from the killing industry. We thought, as anarchists and vegetarians, that we should decorate it and make their 'work' today impossible. So we painted it completely, the windows and mirrors too. Doing this we remember our comrade Fabian, deported last thursday from Málaga to Buenos Aires, and the anarchist prisoner on hunger strike, Amadeu Casellas. Also we wanted to share a website that we think is cool.
We send all of our support from the south of Europe to the Earth Liberation Front, A.L.F., and all anarchist prisoners... and we will continue the fight until all are free!!!"

MEAT SHOPS GLUED (Mexico)

anonymous report (translation):

"We went out full of rage, once again in Colima, during the early morning hours of September 16, to sabotage the evil 'graveyards' of animals. The sabotage was gluing 7 meat markets and 5 poultry shops. A message was left at two of the shops, below their shutters, using gasoline and a lit piece of cardboard 'meat is death.' Everything went perfectly; once again we carried out small acts of sabotage which are constantly happening to end this murdererous speciesism.

Animal Liberation - Human Liberation! Total Liberation!

Espina de Rabia [Thorn of Rage] (Colima, Colima).

ROOSTER LIBERATED (Mexico)

anonymous report (translation):

"On the 15th of this year, Efecto Mariposa [Butterfly Effect] acted again!
In opposition to evil anthropocentrism, we decided to act in full daylight.
With nothing to stop us, we went into a backyard where they were exhibiting our animal brother!
Tied up by one leg, enduring the rain and cold of that afternoon, we decided to take our brother, despite being seen by neighbors, giving him the freedom that we all deserve.

Unfortunately, there was another rooster, but due to the fact that he was inside the house, he could not be freed. This shows that this was not a robbery, as anthropocentrics may have believed it to be; this was a rescue like so many that have already occurred!

For all those who remain caged!
Animal Liberation!
Human and Earth!

Health and revolution.

Efecto Mariposa (león gto.)"

TWO FUR FARMS FOUND ABANDONED (Italy)

reported by activists in Italy:

"August 2009

The Animal Liberation Investigation Unit (ALIU) announced the final closure of 2 mink farms in Italy.

- The De Nardi farm in Vittorio Veneto (TV) was found locked and long abandoned. Instead of mink in the sheds, some sheep roam.
We entered the farm at nightfall and we found some cages with birds inside.
Although our aim was only to document the closure of the farm, we could not leave these beautiful animals locked in tiny cages, so we smashed the cages and watched the birds fly away.
De Nardi until a few years ago was president of the Italian Mink Farmers Association.

- The Anipel mink farm in San Martino Buon Albergo (VR) is finally closed. All cages and sheds are empty. Some sheds were being dismantled and cages were stacked outside along with a truck for sale.
The walls of the sheds still have messages painted by activists who previously visited this farm, and the building that houses cold storage and warehouses has no roof, which was probably destroyed in the fire of 2006*.
A dozen dogs are still confined on the grounds of the farm."

EMPTY CAGES AT FUR FARMS (Germany)

The anti-fur network Offensive gegen die Pelzindustrie has announced that three fur farms in Germany have closed down, farms that until recently imprisoned thousands of mink.

Among the farms was one near the city of Melle that was visited by the A.L.F. in January 2007 when hundreds of empty cages were destroyed*. The farm never rebuilt following the action.
