WINDOWS BROKEN AT PET STORE (Mexico)

received anonymously:

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

In the early morning hours of July 17th, our cell, full of rage toward society, enslaver of animals and the earth, and armed with hammers and spray paint, decided to attack a shop in which they imprison and profit from enslaved beings and sell them to irresponsible people who are not even capable of taking charge of their own lives, so that these animals end up dead or in situations in which they cannot act according to their nature. This time we broke all the windows in one of these stores, leaving multiple painted messages, including one that said: 'ANIMALS ARE NOT FOR OUR USE OR PROFIT F.L.A."
We are a threat to the institutions that want to cover up the exploitation of animals, this is a war that will not stop but will continue to grow."
