office and sales room)
Hunting is war against animals
A large number of the animals killed in the forest and fields are
unplanned (including pets), but the planned killings of wild animals
also mean incredible fear and pain! It rarely happens that an animal
dies immediately. The rest are killed by the hunter after being found or
succumb slowly to their painful injuries.
The animals who successfully escape the hunters lust for murder
experience trauma and broken families.
Hunting is not conservation
Hunting is a grave encroachment on nature:
-- Feeding to have more animals to shoot
-- Manipulation of natural habitats to make room for 'huntable' species
-- The introduction of non-native species for easy hunting, for example,
pheasants
-- Tons of lead from bullets
That is why we say:
No peace with animal killers!
For the animals!

Jagd ist Krieg gegen Tiere
Eine große Zahl der Tiermorde im Wald und Feld sind ungeplant (Haustiere
ua) aber auch die geplanten Tötungen bedeuten für die wildtiere Angst
und unglaubliche Schmerzen! Es passiert selten, dass ein getroffenes
Tier sofort stirbt. Die übrigen werden von der Jägerhand getötet oder
gar nicht gefunden und erliegen langsam ihren qualvollen Verletzungen
durch Jagdschrot.
Die Tiere, denen es gelingt den mordlüsternen Jägern zu entkommen
erleben Traumata und haben zerissene Familienverbände.
Jagd ist kein Naturschutz
Jägerische \'Hege und Biotoppflege\' ist ein gravierender Eingriff in
die Natur:
- Fütterung, teilweise mit präventiven Medikamenten versetzt, um noch
mehr Tiere zum Abschießen zu haben,
- Manipulation natürlicher Lebensräume, um Platz für \"jagdbare\"
Tierarten zu schaffen,
- das Aussetzen von eigentlich hier nicht heimischer Tierarten als
leichte Jagdbeute, zum Beispiel Fasane,
- Tonnen von Blei aus Schrotpatronen, ...
Deswegen sagen wir:
Kein Friede mit Tiermördern!
Für die Tiere!

Austria:
"During the night to 19th April, activists liberated 15 chickens from
a barn egg farm."
April 14, 2008 -- 200 Pigs Released from Factory Farm

anonymous communique:
"Angry wild boars liberate their relatives
In the night to Monday, March 31st, a cell of the ALF called 'angry
wild boar' liberated 200 genetically, degeneratively altered relatives
(called domestic pigs) from a catastrophical factory farm between Brunn
and Winzersdorf in the district of Wr. Neustadt, Lower Austria. The
liberated pigs immediately started playing in the meadows surrounding
the farm and ate grass, which they will be prohibited to do in the
months ahead, sitting without anything to do in their dreadfully
stinking shit. . . .
Around the farm are kilometres of open land and pasture; why is this
way of keeping pigs not prohibited? Most people just remove the
suffering from their consciousness and still buy and sell these
products. But there are healthy and tasty plant based alternatives not
only in specialist shops but in all supermarkets - from meat and
different sausages to schnitzel, chili con soya or doener.
Even if those liberated pigs cannot enjoy their freedom for long -
every hour counts; since in only a few weeks, they would be brutally
kicked into lorries, transported over long distances and killed hanging
on their hind legs on the slaughter line, when somebody cuts their
throat while they are still fully conscious. They struggle for minutes.
Humans with a brain and a heart do not eat animals - especially when
they are so similar to themselves, that their organs are being misused
by unscrupolous doctors for transplants.

Freedom for pigs!

January 21, 2008 -- Glaxo Ignores Contamination: Customers
at Risk
received anonymously:
"Austria
NEW: GlaxoSmithKline's toothpaste 'Superglue'
Letters containing a tube of toothpaste were sent to the
* Federal Ministry for Social Affairs and Consumer Protection (Bundesministerium
für Soziales und Konsumentenschutz)
* Food Analysis Laboratory of the City of Vienna (Lebensmitteluntersuchungsanstalt
der Stadt Wien)
to be received on Jan. 9, 2008.
The letters claimed that products of the brands Odol, Parodontax, Dr.
Best and Sensodyne had been contaminated with glue and were put in store
shelves in several towns in Austria. The toothpaste sent to the
laboratory and the ministry was contaminated with superglue (Loctite).
Odol, Parodontax, Dr. Best and Sensodyne are products of
GlaxoSmithKline, GSK.
- Then happened NOTHING
no warning of consumers
no media reports
no controls
The supermarkets and drugstores sold all relevant products without
interruption.
- What does it take to go on selling possibly contaminated products
without hesitation?
A. A nitwit as Minister for Consumer Protection
B. A greedy, ruthless and potentially murderous company like GSK
C. Non-existent national compensation laws to protect consumers
- Open invitation for corporate criminals
All corporate criminals are invited to produce in or export products
from Austria regardless of the toxicity. Obviously there are no controls
here, but open borders to the countries of the European Union.
GlaxoSmithKline already had its field trial and as it was to be
expected, they took the chance. No controls, no media, no laws. Go
ahead. Sell what you have, contaminated or not.
- Lessons for activists
There are countries where you actually have to face the horrifying
potential of hurting or killing someone. Austria is not the USA, UK or
recently France. In those countries regulations guarantee that consumers
are protected in cases of potential threats to their health.
A similar action against a candy bar manufacturer took place in
Canada Jan. 2, 1992. Cold Buster bars were said to be poisoned with oven
cleaning fluid and returned to the store shelves for public consumption.
Communiques and samples of contaminated bars were sent to TV stations
and newspapers. There was an estimated more than $1 million cost to the
manufacturer of this candy just from recalling the candy.
- Will products from GSK ever be save?
Take some Loctite, smear it on your toothbrush, clean your teeth with
that and see what your dentist thinks about this. If you still go to a
shop and buy Odol, Parodontax, Dr. Best or Sensodyne, then you will
never learn.
- Further questions?
In case you have further questions, there is a day and night hotline
available. The director of GSK in Austria will certainly help you with
problems concerning products from GSK; or send him a superglued
toothbrush requesting informations about methods of safe application.

January 9, 2008 - Another Smelly Kleider Bauer Store
According to the website of
Die Tierbefreier e.V., the ALF dumped butyric acid inside a Kleider
Bauer store in Vienna on January 7 or 8. During the past month, there
have been two butyric acid attacks against Kleider Bauer and related
stores, and two shops got their windows etched. The activists promise to
continue the actions until Kleider Bauer goes fur-free.
