anonymous report, from La Haine (translation):

"On this cold morning a delivery van of the 'MB' butcher shop in Carabanchel was totally burned.

What better time than now and what better place than here. We can not wait any longer, our lives are adrift, the violence and exploitation that we suffer daily has reached an unexpected extreme. We refuse to accept this imposition, this technological dictatorship. We do not ask for anything. We chose to act for ourselves, without delegating, without looking for respect or admiration from anyone. we reject the vanguard because we do not speak for anyone else, our words are spoken with fire. It's time to take to the streets. Times are tough, that's true, but nobody said that it would be easy. All forces and energies are needed to break this techno-industrial system through words, stones, letters, fire, struggle....

Those who base their lives on exploiting animals (human and nonhuman) deserve the worst outcome.

To our brothers imprisoned behind bars and in cages

until all are free!

"Esta fria madrugada fue totalmente calcinada una furgoneta de reparto de la carniceria �MB� en Carabanchel.

No podemos esperar m�s, nuestras vidas van a la deriva, la violencia y la explotaci�n que sufrimos a diario esta llegando a limites insospechados. Nos negamos a aceptar esta imposici�n , esta dictadura tecnol�gica . No pedimos nada . Por eso optamos por actuar por nosotrxs mismxs, sin delgar en nadie, ni esperar el respeto ni la

Es hora de salir a la calle, tiempos duros corren, es verdad, pero nadie dijo que iba a ser facil. Por ello son necesarias todas las fuerzas y las energias para derrumbar este sistema tecno industrial, mediante las palabras, las piedras, las letras, el fuego, el esfuerzo....

anonymous report (translation):

"On November 3, 2010 we approached the mink farm located in Albalate del Arzobispo, in Teruel.

It will soon be the time when these animals are killed to be made into coats. In a society in which speciesism is so ingrained we thought it was necessary to act and try to provide these individuals with an opportunity, and at the same time raise awareness of their situation.

We opened all the cages that contained mink, and roughly 200 were able to run free and try to find a way to escape the horrible fate that awaited them if they remained within the farm.

This action was taken two days before the anniversary of the death of Barry Horne, to whom we want to dedicate this liberation. His struggle remains in our memories and our hearts."

Abrimos la totalidad de las jaulas que contenian visones, siendo aproximadamente unos 200 los que pudieron correr libres, en busca de una oportunidad de escapar de su horrible destino en caso de permanecer dentro de la granja.

Esta acci�n fue realizada dos dias antes del aniversario de la muerte del compa�ero Barry Horne, al que queremos dedicarle esta liberaci�n. Su lucha permanece en nuestro recuerdo y en nuestros corazones."

Igualdad Animal / Animal Equality news release (photo gallery):

"Animal Equality activists have rescued five hens from a farm containing 160,000 animals on Monday 16 September.

After entering one of the sheds via an unlocked door and without having to use any type of force, the activists removed five hens, who were later examined by a vet. One of them had to be operated on to remove a huge mass from her head resulting from a an old eye infection. Another hen is currently receiving veterinary treatment but is out of danger.

These animals were being subjected to a process called a forced molt, in which through severe food restriction - including going for days without eating - and in total darkness, their bodies are shocked into a new cycle of egg-laying.

These one-and-a-half-year-old animals have spent the last eleven months trapped behind bars without being able to see the sun. They are suffering from various nutritional deficiencies and some of them also have liver damage due to the high protein content of their food which is given in order to increase the weight of their eggs.

The Animal Equality Open Rescue Team has recorded these images because we believe it is essential that society has access to what happens inside places like these so they have the ability to think about how the animals must feel.

This rescue was carried out on a farm with battery cages similar to the 'enriched cages' which will obligatory from 2012 onwards throughout the European Union. Nevertheless, on 'free-range' farms, hens are still deprived of their freedom and used as mere resources for human benefit, and finally all of them are sent to the slaughterhouse at a fraction of their natural lifespan.

In Spain, more than 47 million hens are victims of this system which exists to satisfy the demand for eggs. Eggs that we do not even need.
Another 47 million male chicks - their brothers - are also victims of this consumption. Often forgotten they do not even register in official statistics. On every type of farm, male chicks are killed, either ground up alive or gassed, because they do not lay eggs and they are not profitable for any other purpose.

Animal Equality rescues animals not only to help these particular individuals, but also to get society to reflect and stop seeing the other animals with which we share the planet as being at our disposal, as resources we can make a profit from.
As in all open rescues we carry out, we always come away filled with a sensation of sadness and impotence when we have to close the door and leave behind the thousands of other animals who will suffer their whole lives only to end up with their throats slit in a slaughterhouse.
We are simply unable to rescue all the animals on farms, in slaughterhouses, or laboratories. Ending this ongoing animal holocaust depends on each one of us, it depends on removing our financial support from all of it, in all its forms.

Living as vegans means we free those animals who were going to be forced to suffer and die for our demands, and builds a base of support for a world that is more equal for all, regardless of the species we belong to.

Towards the abolition of animal slavery.

anonymous communique (translation):

"Early Saturday morning, Oct. 23, animal rights activists entered a mink farm in the town of Abegondo in Galicia to put an end to the animals exploitation.

Motivated by the investigation recently released in the media that shows the hell that these animals are subjected to we felt obligated to take sides and to stand in solidarity with them.

When a large portion of the cages were already open the farmer arrived unexpectedly, interrupting the liberation and we were forced to escape without being able to help all the animals.

Our struggle will not end as long as animals are being exploited. We oppose animal exploitation in all its forms and we believe that adopting a vegan lifestyle that respects animals is essential.

There are many ways you can help animals, it doesn't depend on anyone but yourself.

Against speciesism, for animal liberation."

Cuando una gran parte de las jaulas ya estaban abiertas el granjero lleg� inesperadamente interrumpiendo la liberaci�n y nos vimos obligados a escapar sin poder ayudar a todos los animales.

Nuestra lucha no acabar� mientras haya animales explotados. Nos oponemos a la explotaci�n de los animales en todos los �mbitos y creemos necesario adoptar un estilo de vida vegano que respete a los animales.

Son muchas las formas en las que puedes ayudar a los animales, no depende de nadie m�s que de ti.

"Riding my bike in the southeast of Madrid I discovered several trucks with cages in the parking lot of a bird slaughterhouse. As the gate was open I decided to take a look and discovered that some birds had fallen to the ground and the workers had forgotten about them. There were around 10 in a ditch where the mechanics fix the trucks. I could only take one with some difficulty, and it was with difficulty that I got a cloth bag to bring her to Madrid on my bike. It gave me much pain to leave all the others there. They were laying hens who had lived all their lives in cages and since they were producing less they were murdered. We are going to give her a home where she will be happy. I no longer eat eggs and this makes me happy as I do not want to collaborate with this savagery.

In this school they teach the future leaders of pharmaceutical companies to kill our animal brother and sisters and the earth without mercy. 'Here the land is devastated and animals murdered' was written on the walls.

Our lesson for them is that there is no place for them. We will attack them mercilessly. The earth devastated, our minds wiped out ... and we fight amongst ourselves for a larger piece of this absurd pie (increased wages, reduced working hours, better labor contracts...). We do not believe in the crisis because we have been in crisis since our birth: indoctrinated in the schools and in the family, exploited at work and murdered in the hospitals or in jail.

With a little fear and nervousness we approached it with our faces covered. When we were facing it, you could see in the eyes of my comrades that the idea of abandoning the plan was running through their minds; that was in my thoughts as well. But we did not give up. We jumped the wall that separated us from the reality of animal exploitation and we moved into action. We punctured 7 tires on the two vehicles that were on the premises and we painted the symbol of the FLA on the back of the truck and on the hood of the cab.

Farm owner Juan Benito Tom�s explains how cages were opened at his farm (photo by A. RIVERA/Heraldo.es).

According to media reports, 126 mink were released from cages at a fur farm in Albalate del Arzobispo (Teruel) on Tuesday night, March 16.

The farm owner explained that a wire fence was cut to gain access to the farm, and then instead of entering through the front door of the shed, which was protected by an alarm, corrugated iron sheets that served as walls were removed from the sheds.

Most, but not all, of the mink have been recaptured.

The owner said that there have been seven incidents of theft and vandalism at the farm since he started it in 2002, but this was the first liberation.
