report from michalkolesar.net (click here for more photos from the rescue):

"15 hens were rescued from unneccessary suffering and violent killing. They were transported to a new, safe home where they will live in the grass, sun and fresh air. They will be able to spread their wings and run, and the weaker ones will have the possibility to escape the stronger ones. Send it further.

Thank you to all who participated in the rescue and to everybody who donated some money to this efforts."

report from michalkolesar.net:

"I was contacted by a man whose family has sheep in captivity, and they decided that they are going to sell some of the newborn lambs for meat and to kill the other ones by themselves. He pleaded with them not to do it. To no avail. Six of them had to die, one lambs fate was uncertain.

He decided, therefore, that he will save the lambs against the wishes of his family.

He wrote to me and asked for help."

"Open rescue XIX. (November 2010) & support for the prosecuted and busted

Ten hens were rescued from unnecessary suffering and violent killing. They were transported to a new, safe home where they will live in the grass, sun and fresh air. They will be able to spread their wings and run, and the weaker ones will have the possibility to escape the stronger ones. Send it further.

Instead of dreaming of a better future the open rescues change the present. They are not about any abstract lives but about concrete ones. They stick to real priorities and smash the false ones. Saving lives is more important than property, law, the will of the majority or democratic choice. They stand for open resistance, conflict instead of begging and crying and wailing for how little we can change, and as for rescued animals, we changed their whole lives."

"Ten chickens rescued from meaningless suffering and meaningless deaths. They were moved to a new, safe home. Ahead of them is not a long and full life, because their genomes were destroyed so that their bodies grow faster and bear more flesh and so that the business is more profitable. But despite of it, this way they'll be better off. They will learn what sun is and what fresh air is and what are people who do not see them as just meat and money. Spread the message."

Open rescue in memory of Gari Allen (click here for additional photos from the rescue):

"In June 2009, 65 hens were freed from unnecessary suffering and misery of battery cages. They were transferred to new, safe homes.

Animals are not gifts, neither is their rescue. Therefore not even this rescue is meant as a gift and is not dedicated to anyone. It is only related to the memory of a man who could do more than just saying nothing, moaning and crying.

On 16th of June 2006, after a short illness, Gari Allen died.

Gari Allen was an anarchist. He believed in direct action and the Animal Liberation Front. He took part in many sabotages and rescues from farms and laboratories, he also worked in shelters and sanctuaries. In the eighties and nineties he was imprisoned twice.

I remember. We remember."

"In May 2009 there were 16 hens freed from battery cages and put in new, safe homes."

"In April 2009 there were 61 hens freed from battery cages and put in new, safe homes.
Animals are not a gift, neither is their rescue. Therefore not even this rescue is meant as a gift. It is only related to memory of a woman who did not want to just watch the useless pain and suffering of animals.
Fourteen years ago Jill Phipps died. It was Wednesday, 1st February of 1995. During a protest against transports of calves in Coventry, she stayed under the wheels of a truck which was loaded with these animals. She was 31.
I remember. We remember.
