HUNDREDS OF MINK FREED FROM CAGES (Ireland)

media reports:  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/03/394377.html
anonymous communique:

"Last weekend, the Irish Animal Liberation Front visited Ireland's largest fur farm - Vasa Ltd, in Co. Laois.

The ALF made their way through the locked gate in a matter of seconds, and then the real fun started...

A quick scan of the area showed that the sheds were enclosed in an area secured by corrugated steel. No problem - a huge hole was then cut into this, the wire mesh behind it snipped, and the hedgerow behind that was then cleared - to allow the Mink easy access to the river running beside this concentration camp.

Graffiti was sprayed all around the place, including the signature 'ALF' calling card.

300 breeding cards were removed from one of the sheds, and then destroyed.

Moving onto the next shed, 300 Mink were liberated and were then guided to freedom, before the ALF disappeared into the darkness. It was unbearable to have to leave the others behind.

Una and Michael Heffernan are responsible for murdering over 45,000 Mink on this death camp every year. It's time to make them pay for this.

The ALF will be back, Una and Michael - and don't think that the cows and horses you keep locked up too were unnoticed.

Until all are free,
ALF Ireland"

DAMAGE AT BUTCHER SHOP (Switzerland)

received anonymously:

"In the night of the 20th of march we smashed the window of a butcher-shop in Lausanne (Switzerland). The butcher of that shop is an active member of a xenophobic political party. No racism! No speciesism! We demand justice for all! Animals are not things, they are sentient beings like us and we don't have the right to exploit or kill them. Flags and slaughterhouses don't have their place in a civilized society!

BUTCHERS PAINTED (Mexico)

reported anonymously:

"March 20:

There is no doubt that one of the favorite targets of the Animal Liberation Front this month has been speciesist businesses of torturers and murderers, who arrogantly supply meat so that people can eat 'well.' They sell bloody corpses, exhibiting them outside their businesses, not realizing that what they hang on a hook for people to see and want to eat was an animal that just a few hours ago was living, suffering the abuse of the animal executioner, was murdered in a brutal way and then later would be food on the table of the very unaware.

Activists of the ALF will never accept the excuse of eating 'well' and will continue our actions, attacking with everything we have at hand. That's why we left very early to totally paint the facades of 3 butcher shops located in Mexico State.

Let's go forward; the struggle continues!

For F"cks sake, dodgy!!!!!!!!

Plan escapes properly!, don't let out predators en mass into ecosystems!. As for new york taxidermy fire, how are actions clarified? was this an insurance job? if not grow up. If I die I wouldn't mind my body being if benefited future generations.
Sort it out & stop destroying our entire movement to boost your ego's!
IMC why is this shite allowed on, half these actions are likely to be done by abusers themselves & are unverified+dodgy!!!!!!

Same story....wrong interpretation.

Mink?!

More fucking mink released? I understand the grief at these animals suffering, but for fucks sake, why disrupt a whole natural food chain in the process of liberation?! I think these people need some understanding of how the animal world works before they attempt to save it! As said above, you can't release a load of foreign predators into an ecosystem! Animals don't do tolerance and multiculturalism.

Mink will reach equillibrium/ Insurance scam

23.03.2008 14:38

People claiming mink will destroy the local eco-system are either oppo's or mis-informed. Mink will reach equillibrium with the eco-system within a month or 2. If you don't believe me go to the New Forest in the UK. The eco-system was not destroyed by mink as many hunt-scum at the time claimed. It adds to the diversity - diversity which huntscum destroy. So what if they aren't "native species" their offspring will be!

As for the fire in New York I think the first comment is probably correct it looks like an insurance job. The owner was probably a failing business and decided to set fire to it to claim the insurance. Hope the insurance company will see through his lies.
