ACTIVISTS TARGET VIVISECTION BREEDER (Mexico)

anonymous report (translation):

"Attack at Faculty of Chemistry at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (Mexico City)
August 17, 2008

One of the major multinational producers of equipment and food, and in the sale of animals for stupid experiments, is Harlan. Founded in the United States in 1931, it has branches throughout the world and sells in approximately 30 countries, to pharmaceutical companies, animal labs, universities and government institutions.

UNAM-Harlan is located in the Faculty of Chemistry at the city university and houses between 15 thousand and 18 thousand rats and mice, who are sold to other industries and also used at UNAM.

Vivisection is a practice which has no ethical or scientific value; to the contrary, it is torture and death for the purpose of money and control.

Harlan, like the Faculty of Chemistry, feel they are in the right to exercise total dominance over nature and that is something which we can not allow, much less respect. That's why in the afternoon of August 17 the f.l.a. had decided to carry out a spontaneous action and had spilled paint on the window panes surrounding this center of control and experimentation; they had launched paint bombs at the building and had broken some windows of this 'center of study,' which made a lot of noise and alerted security. Within seconds they were running after us; after a short pursuit one person was arrested, but much later was released without charge or fines, for being a minor. In a brief chat with the detainee, the police had asked her many times for the names of other activists, but she said absolutely nothing. The first lawyer wanted her to pay for damages, but fortunately they assigned her another lawyer that freed her very quickly.

This is the first time that someone was arrested in an action and this experience has helped us a lot; we see the successes and mistakes, and we learned a lot from this, for future actions.

Even so we are not at ease; what has happened is a little suspicious and we believe that the investigations are continuing; we will keep you informed.

frente de liberación animal.

vivisection is torture, vivisection is death, free the animals,

HUNDREDS OF MINK RELEASED FROM CAGES (USA)

LOCKS GLUED AT 10 MEAT MARKETS (Mexico)

anonymous report:

"August 19

On the cloudy and cold night of the day indictated, the FLA took to the streets of México State once again to prove that individual, radical actions are more effective than the rest of the carnivalesque and pacifist performances, because this time 10 meat markets were left sealed with quite a lot of glue by ALF activists.

We will not wait for these businesses to close with banners, shouts and propaganda; we will close them ourselves.

FLA"

BUTCHER SHOPS, EGG DISTRIBUTOR PAINTED (Mexico)

received anonymously:

"On August 18 of this year, the Frente de Liberación Animal decided to pay a visit to businesses that profit from the suffering of living beings on this planet; at night the entrances, walls, floors, windows and shelves of businesses like meat markets, poultry shops, dairy shops, rotisseries, restaurants and an egg distributor were attacked with red paint resembling the blood and suffering of non-human animals.
This has not ended for the executioners!"
