In April, a duck hunting blind was destroyed by
activists in Prince Edward Island, Canada. According to the activists,
"shotgun shells and duck feathers littered the area." "ALF" was spelled
out with branches for the hunters to see.
"As of March 2013 we have removed and destroyed
approximately 200 fur traps in Ontario. The traps were snares and
Conibears intended to murder beaver, rabbits and other innocents.
Tragically we were too late for two rabbits and one raccoon, whose
bodies and internal organs had already been eaten into by snares. We
will be forever haunted by our memories of their bodies, we will forever
continue removing traps and we encourage others to get in the bush and
help smash the fur industry. Look for tell tale signs of traps and trap
lines; flagging tape tied to branches, repeated tracks entering the
bush, and poles or sticks protruding from bodies of water especially
near beaver lodges, where trapping is frequent. Join the burgeoning
ranks of trap saboteurs!
At this moment in Seattle people are gathering in a
grotesque celebration of the barbaric fur trade. They are selling untold
numbers of skins from innocent animals in the name of their meaningless
god, money. In response to these killers we returned to Vancouver to
visit another house of horrors, the Glass House at 1425 Clyde Avenue in
West Vancouver. The Glass House is owned by notorious animal abuser Jody
Claman. Jody Claman supports and promotes the abuse, torture and murder
of tens of thousands of innocent furry animals on her stupid tv show
real housewives of vancouver. She has a reputation for wearing dozens of
dead animals in the form of her grotesque full fur coats. She prances
around through her useless, meaningless life looking like a psychotic
bastard child of cruella deville and barbie. Her store sells both fur
and feathers. No doubt she is unaware that these feathers are ripped
from the birds as they are still alive, or boiled off of them in
scalding tanks.
Jody, you lied to the media saying your vile fur is
second hand, but we know that you are lying to hide your embarrassment
for your violent habits. You are also lying on your website saying you
sell raccoon fur that you are either too stupid to know is dog fur or
you just like lying about it.
During the night of March 21 we descended upon Vancouver
to visit her horrid store. We squirted foul liquid in the door to
destroy anything it touched. We also reminded the Glass House that they
are under surveillance by signing our name ALF in large painted letters.
We splashed the remaining paint on the front of the store to warn your
community about what you do to innocent animals every single day in the
name of your obscene 'fashion sense.'
If we ever find fur in your store again or on your
stupid show we'll see you at home next time.
It's time to realize that you are not the only person on
Earth. Every single day millions and millions of mink, foxes, dogs,
rabbits, and other animals are trapped in cages, pacing back and forth
from boredom and terror. They see their family members dumped
unceremoniously into gas chambers and gassed to death. The chambers'
walls gouged with the claw marks of the condemned desperate to escape,
though no escape is possible. The foxes have rods put in their genitals
and are electrocuted, causing their tiny eyes to bulge out as the life
drains from them. The thousands of dogs whose carcasses are in Jody's
store had their skulls bashed in so that she could feel special, wearing
their bodies around like a scarf.
Get it through your head, if you continue killing them,
you will continue hearing from us.
For the animals, who are unable to save themselves,

West Vancouver was splattered with paint and tagged with the letters

According to local media reports, on
February 19 netted-cage traps used to capture deer as part of a cull in
Cranbrook, British Columbia were vandalized. 24 mule deer were killed
during the cull, which concluded at the end of February. February 3, 2013 -

This is only the beginning >>>
"On a late rainy January 5th night an ALF cell attacked
an unoccupied police cruiser via Molotov cocktail. This cruiser was
parked there to intimidate or detour any future attacks or protests
on Megan Halprin's residence or the Snowflake fur shops she owns.
However, the increased police presence will not stop our graceful and
successful attacks. Make no mistake, this is war. This is a fur war.
This is a class war. The elite and the police are the enemy and will
be treated as such. It is without a doubt that oppression will come,
whether it is in the form of arrests, harassment by the fascist state
or by a former comrade turned snitch who can't take the heat. We must
stay strong and united. If you snitch, you are an element of the
state and will be treated as the enemy. ALF is alive and well. Megan
Halprin you are never safe. Police you are never safe. You should
have expected us."
"We do not know if this has ever occurred before. Last
night, Vancouver fur shop Speiser Furs was unknowingly visited by two
seperate ALF cells. We learned this morning that individuals went to the
front of the store to glue the locks and paste leaflets, while we were
at the back of the store using hypodermic needles to shoot a foul
substance into the store through cracks in the door. To the other cell,
while we have no idea who you are, we hope with our combined efforts
these actions will shut the doors of this house of horrors for good. How
romantic it would have been if we had crossed paths. This was our second
attack this week, three days earlier we did the same at Max Mara. We
estimate several thousand dollars in damage and dozens of ruined
jackets. That is what they get for boldy displaying the abused carcasses
of fur bearing animals in their windows. ALF Vancouver"
"Last night, two wicked stores profiting off the torture
and mutilation of non-humyn and humyn animals had their locks glued and
'ALF' flyers stuck into their mail slots. The locks were glued with a
toothpick and crazy glue, for extra stickage, and the flyers were wiped
clean of any and all fingerprints. It is our intention to let these
stores know that their very existence is the impetus for our struggle.
Capitalism has driven humynity to exploit the earth and her animals, and
has created class divisions so fierce that it is very difficult to
realize our dreams. We strive for a world where we are not stuck inside
such rigid boxes, and will continue to attack the social order on as
many fronts as we can (we're just getting warmed up). These two
stores, Speiser Furs and Black Sheep on Granville Street, Vancouver BC,
profit off the lives of animals who were born into an existence of
torture and misery. Perpetual struggle! Laws can go f***
themselves. ALF Vancouver, Coast Salish Territories"
"Last night Toronto joined the world wide war against
the trade in animal skins. Four Seasons Furs and T.O. Leather Fashions
had chemicals poured through the cracks in their doors that will destroy
anything they come into contact with.
This is what you get for profiting off of violence and
suffering.
This was your first attack but will not be your last.
"On the morning of November 25, 2012 in
Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, we gained entry to an equipment storage
building at a factory poultry farm by cutting the padlock off of the
latch on the front door. Once inside, we smashed windows and lights on
tractors, glued locks, and graffitied the walls. We also took paperwork
and keys to some of the machinery that were left inside the building.
The owners of the factory farm should understand that our actions will
only increase in size in the future, and they are going to need much
more than a padlock to stop us. - ALF"
"during the night of october 31 lux boutique in downtown
vancouver was visited by the alf. no one is unnoticed who profits off of
cruelty and killing. the door was bolted shut to add difficulty but the
benefit of syringes is they puncture the seal around the door jamb.
through the door we shot foul smelling liquid designed to get into the
fabric of anything near it.
snowflake furs has reopened since they were visited.
they reported that the attack caused at least $500,000 in damage. thats
not good enough for the foxes pacing on a fur farm right now who will
die next year so that you can make a few dollars. the murderers continue
to cry how unfair it is that they are persecuted, humble torturers that
they are. when your life is dedicated to causing suffering, polluting
the planet and lying to your customers - you will continue to be
persecuted. and stop telling your customers that your fur comes from
canada. most of it is rex rabbit and all of your rabbit bodies come from
china. ive seen your financials, i know where you shop.
this is a challenge to activists around the world. too
many suffer and die for their fur and leather. you can make a
difference. hypodermic needles filled with whatever you can get your
hands on. even bleach or drain cleaner can make fur unsellable. there is
nothing more important than defending those who suffer the most who
cannot defend themselves. think of them, think of the planet, think of
the suffering. you can make a difference for animals.
lux boutique is closed for business and the store is
empty. the alf will always find a way."
According to Fur Commission
USA, in the early hours of September 21, a perimeter fence was cut and
approx. 200 mink were freed from cages at Oakwood Farms (3708 Baker

EMPTY FUR
STORE: AN UPDATE FROM THE ALF
anonymous update:
"Five weeks ago we took
action
against Snowflake Furs and Speiser Furs in Vancouver Canada. We used 10
large syringes with 16 gauge needles to shoot a foul substance into the
stores through small spaces in the doors. Syringes have the ability to
shoot more than 25 feet into the building onto their merchandise causing
serious economic damage. The Pacific Center Snowflake Furs location
is now closed indefinitely. The store is gutted and lifeless, how
appropriate.
We will stop when the violence and murder stops and
it is only a matter of time before actions like these start occurring at
the other Snowflake locations in Whistler and Banff. To anyone who
does not understand why fur stores are being targeted in this way please
search 'fur cruelty' or 'skinned alive for fur' on your computer and
spend some time witnessing the horrific fur trade.
According to media
reports, a noxious substance was sprayed into Snowflake Furs and Speiser
Furs in downtown Vancouver late on August 20. Reportedly, syringes were
used to spray liquid into the stores through gaps around the front
doors.
Animal activists are suspected of being
responsible for the attacks. Both fur stores have been targeted by the
ALF several times before, most recently in
May.
"On June 9, the night before the Belmont races we acted
in defense of the horses at Vancouver's Hastings Racecourse. We knew it
was expected to be the biggest night of the year for the track so we
scattered thousands of roofing nails in all of their parking lots.
This will be the first of many actions at the track.
"On the night of May 21st four Vancouver fur stores were
visited by the ALF. Capilano Furs, Speiser Furs, Snowflake Furs and
Pappas Furs were covered in red paint to remind the public of the
innocent blood spilled every day in the vicious fur trade. Eugene Klein,
owner of Capilano Furs is dumb enough to run his fur business out of his
home in North Vancouver so we also painted his $50,000 dodge truck and
the brand new VW sitting in his driveway.
This action is dedicated to the hundreds of thousands of
mink suffering and dying on the many filthy, polluted fur farms in the
lower mainland.
To Megan Halprin of Snowflake Furs:
The sign outside of your house says 'The right to free
speach does not include: harrassment, tresspassing and vandalism.' Well,
the right to earn a fair living does not include torturing, abusing, and
murdering others.
We didn't bother visiting your house because there is
still evidence of a previous visit splattered all over your front door.
It still looks great.
Right now the Seattle Fur Exchange/American Legend
auction is taking place just across the border and tens of thousands of
skins from Canadian wild and fur farmed individuals are being auctioned
off to the highest bidding asshole. This sick event is one of the
largest of its kind. We want the participants to know that every time
you take a step forward, profiting off of violence, abuse and
destruction of the natural world we will be right behind you, ripping
and tearing at your heels. We WILL bring you down.
"the home of snowflake furs owner megan halprin was
visited again during the night of march 8. her front lawn was covered in
bleach. we like your new banner just for us. your new cameras are nice
too, sadly they will prove no deterrent to us. at least you've figured
out that every time you scrub the paint off of your house, we will just
replace it again. the black looks nice on your front door. see you soon
megan
"During the night of november 26 notorious owner of
snowflake furs megan halpren had her house again covered in paint. We
know full well that this annoyed you and yet it is not a shadow of the
pain, psychological trauma, or fear that the tens of thousands of
animals you sentence to death every year live and die in. Your worst day
is a world better than their best. You are a criminal and a monster, we
will continue to escalate our visits until you drop fur entirely or go
out of business.
And to your vile sister Rokie who is equally complicit
in your shops of horrors: Just because you live in a comfortable
apartment complex doesn't mean we won't visit you too. It just means
we'll be more creative and make better use of our visit.
"On October 19 animal killers Snowflake furs at the
corner of howe and pender streets was again covered in spray paint a
reminder of their crimes against wildlife and their ecosystems. As long
as you enslave, imprision, torture, mutilate, rape and murder thousands
of animals a year we will always be there to attack you. UNTIL EVERY
CAGE IS EMPTY
"Tonight we took action against one of Vancouver's
cruelest businesses- SPEISER FURS.
We brought a backpack with us
and in it was an industrial pressurized chemical sprayer with a two foot
long spraying wand. We inserted the spraying wand into their mail slot
and sprayed 4 litres of a highly corrosive chemical onto their racks of
jackets. The pressurized sprayer has the ability to reach more than 25
feet so we are confident that we were able to soak almost every rack in
the store. We made sure to glue the locks on the front and back entrance
to delay them from gaining access to the store in the morning allowing
the chemical to cause sufficient damage to the pelts.
This act
of economic sabotage was done in solidarity with the 12 Spanish
activists who were arrested and detained on bogus charges.
FREE
THE SPANISH 12!
Animal activists are not terrorists. The sick
individuals who electrocute fur bearing animals in the anus and skin
them while their innocent hearts are still beating are the true
terrorists.
We won't stop until they do.

According to media reports, $50,000 worth of fur and
leather coats were destroyed in the action.

"On the night of March 29th in Whistler BC, the ALF
decided to do what the Canadian government should have done in the first
place, punish Outdoor Adventures for ordering the deaths of 100 used up
sled dogs. We covered their entire head office with red paint and
damaged their windows for all the tourists to see. The reason the
Canadian government may have ignored this case of animal cruelty is
because they are too busy setting a quota of 400 000 seals for the seal
slaughter. Our entire country is run by animal abusing scumbags.....
which is why the next night we sabotaged 4 of the conservative
governments campaign posters in Vancouver. We shredded them with razor
blades and left the message "Save our Seals." After that we headed to
the offices of Fairchild Group, owner of Aberdeen shopping center.
Fairchild Group rents retail space to Pappas Furs, Canada's oldest fur
company as well as other fur retailers, live seafood restaurants, and
shark fin dealers. We glued all their locks, left a spray paint message
"No more Pappas" and covered their entire parking lot with roofing nails
in hopes of ruining the tires on the expensive cars they bought with
blood money.
A message to Joey Houssain, owner of Outdoor
Adventures. We know you didn't commit the actual murders yourself, but
neither did Hitler and you ordered those dogs to be killed. We know you
still have more animals and if we find out that one more innocent animal
is harmed for your business the next visit will hit a bit closer to
home, and by that we mean we know where you live.
In a country
where our government not only ignores animal abusers, they reward them
as with the case of the Whistler 100, it is time for Canadian citizens
to take these issues into our own hands. If not us, then who, if not
now then when?
"On Saturday October 10 2010, we visted the locations of
3 companies who directly profit off of animal abuse.
Caplilano Furs
in North Vancouver BC is run out of a home in North Van. We covered
their entire doorstep and one of their cars with black paint and slashed
the tires.
We then went to
Sun Sui
Wah Restaurant, one of the largest LIVE seafood restaurants in
Vancouver. We chained their doors shut with heavy duty chains and
padlocks, and painted on their walls SAVE OUR OCEANS and STOP SELLING
SHARK FIN SOUP.
After that we went to Max Mara where we covered their
front window with red paint and shattered their front door. STOP SELLING
FUR!
