BUTANE BOMB AT NOVARTIS (Mexico)

According to media reports, an explosive device was discovered Tuesday morning at the gates of Novartis (1677 Pedro Moreno) in Guadalajara. The device consisted of five cans of butane gas and several fuses. The messages "Novartis deja de torturar animales" ("Novartis stop torturing animals") and "Novartis cierra con HLS" ("Novartis break with HLS") were found painted on a wall.

Anonymous claim of responsibility (translation):

"In the early morning hours of September 22 our cell of the Frente de Liberacion Animal acted in solidarity with the explosive attacks in Mexico City and decided to claim an attack against a company that tortures and enslaves innocent animals by contracting with HLS! We have intimidated the company by showing them that our threats are not a game and should be seen to be of vital importance if Novartis and others want to maintain their economic integrity. However, the device did not work properly, but as we are emphasizing what was desired was to intimidate Novartis and to make our community reflect on the animal liberation movement.

NOVARTIS STOP TORTURING ANIMALS!!!
NOVARTIS BREAK WITH HLS!!!
GUADALAJARA, LEON AND MEXICO CITY IN SOLIDARITY!!!

FRENTE DE LIBERACION ANIMAL/ANIMAL LIBERATION FRONT GUADALAJARA MEXICO"

According to a local newspaper, on September 19 a MaxMara shop in the City of Lodi had its entrance and windows covered in red paint.

&helps send public reaction against us. Either its some lone wing or its a strategy of tension"PR" exercise by security"contractors working for Novartis. Indiscriminate devices like this are never good.
I support NVDA & self defence, but this doesnt help especially whilst many people still think vivisection on animals whoes bodies work completely differently is necessary, despite there being better computer+ physical models + many volunteers for products that dont need patenting.
This is just attention seeking that gives the big brother an excuse to crack down on all, if you want to shut them down safely & far more effectively ask any good builder or people check the Yes men & space hijackers.

These tactics have shut down numerous vivisection animal breeders, saving countless number of animals, and has bought HLS to its knees. To fight a holocaust of non-human or human animals, you need to do so by any means necessary. I'm sure if you were in a cage being vivisecting on you wouldn't criticise individuals trying to save your life.

Remember that anything EFFECTIVE gives the state an excuse to crackdown on us.
