RESCUE OF EIGHT LAMBS (Spain)

video:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lf4Oh1cV038

anonymous report:

"On Wednesday night, the 30th of September, several activists rescued eight lambs from a farm in Albacete (Spain).

These lambs, just like their mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers, were going to be sent to a nearby slaughterhouse soon to satisfy the speciesist's habits of consumption that end the lives of cows, pigs, tuna, hens and other animals.

At least these eight individuals will now be able to live out the rest of their lives in peace without ever meeting the butcher's knife.

We dedicate this rescue to our fellow activist Sarah Whitehead, jailed for rescuing an exploited dog and for fighting for animal liberation."

MINK LIBERATED, BREEDING CARDS DESTROYED, PELTING SHED BURNED (Italy)

reported by activists in Italy:

"September 2009 - Castel di Sangro - Italy
130 minks have been liberated from a small farm in Castel di Sangro, owned by Raffaele D’Amico. According to local newspapers, that delayed reporting the action, all the cages were opened, all the breeding cards destroyed and the pelting room burned down. This farm had been the target of an ALF raid back in 2003 and the farmer is currently facing trial for aggression against some Peta activists that staged a demo along with a TV crew inside the sheds a few years before."

INCENDIARY ATTACK AGAINST BULLRING (Spain)

video:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44anaF-_vD0

reported anonymously (translation):

"On Tuesday, September 15, 2009 Moscatel was chased and attacked by hundreds of people armed with spears. He was killed in a pool of blood in the fields of Tordesillas before the eyes of people incapable of feeling empathy for a dying animal, their shouts demanding death in the name of tradition and fun.

Hours earlier in Maranchón (Guadalajara), during the previous night, two activists entered another center of torture. We had brought spray paint and incendiary devices with a total of 32 liters of gasoline.

After filling the bullring with graffiti, we lit the incense sticks that would be the fuse and we disappeared into the night. We want to make clear our complete rejection of traditions based in domination, pain and sadism.

But we also want to make it clear that bull-murder is not the only form of animal exploitation that we face. Millions of chickens, pigs, cows, fish, rabbits and sheep die every day on farms, in slaughterhouses and in laboratories.

The only way to end this suffering is to adopt a lifestyle consistent with the rights of animals: veganism.

NINETY CIRCUS ADS DESTROYED (Ireland)

anonymous report:

"Ninety AUSTRALIAN SUPER CIRCUS SYDNEY advertising billboards were destroyed in Dublin 24 as the circus was performing there.

This circus, formerly part of Circus Vegas, is notorious for attacking protestors and for releasing animals on to major roads as advertising stunts. Give up the animals Circus Sydney.

Till all are free..

ALF Ireland"
