Direct Action Mexico: Six Month Review

ABOUT:

In the past four years prior to this activity, there had only been two reports in Mexico, so this is quite a step up to say the least. From the 26th December 2007 - 22nd May 2008, activists reported over 40 communiques, averaging nearly two reports per week. They totalled 15% of all global reports, which was only 7% less than UK activists representing direct action for animal liberation in 2007.

In comprison to other North American activists, Mexicans have already been more active so far this year than in the entire year of 2006 for US activists. In total, actions in N.A. this year are also already trumping the total number of communqiues in 2007. Welcome to the frontlines ALF Mexico!
