anonymous

"Animal Liberation Front Investigations Unit Expose Rabbit Meat Farm
05 . 11 . 2008
On the eve of Barry Horne's death, a group of volunteers accessed a rabbit
'meat' farm in Berkshire, U.K. This farm used to harbour hundreds of rabbits in
the back of converted box lorries, but have recently upgraded their bunny
butchering enterprise to four permanent and highly intensive units. Semi-built
and set to be filled with hundreds of rabbits, we entered the site and bypassed
top security measures.. the key was left in the door!
One unit was so full of rubble and electricity cables we almost didn't expect
to find any animals in such conditions. Further inspection found rows of cages,
many with rabbits inside. All living on wire, many rabbits were blind, had ears
missing and were rotting alive inside this windowless hell.
Even within a legal system that legitimises animal abuse, this sicko has
still managed to torture animals beyond any legal requirements. The unit was in
total disrepair, flooded with a mix of water and excrement, with open
elecrticity wires and strewn with litter. None of the units had ventilation or
air conditioning systems, despite being newly built. This farm was an excellent
example of what 'animal welfare' means for animals: fuck all.
Needless to say we decided to make some legal corrections. After taking
several rabbits to safety, who are now recovering in loving homes, we turned our
attention to stopping this 'man' filling any more cages with defenceless
animals. We cut every empty cage into pieces. Fuse boxes and machinery were
glued and filled with expanding foam. Messages were left on the outer walls and
doors before we vanished back into the darkness with our newly acquired friends.
This action was carried out in the memory of Barry, who continues to be an
inspiration to us all despite his death at the hands of the british government.

November 7, 2008 -- Barclays Bank Glued Shut
anonymous report:
"To increase the pressure against Huntingdon Life Sciences and the New
York Stock Exchange, ALF volunteers glued shut a Barclays Bank in the
west. Dump HLS and the NYSE to stop the sabotage.
"A recent visit to the White Crag Plantation, found just next to Ilkley Moor,
led to fencing of a pheasant pen being cut and brought down. This fencing has
been recycled following a similar incident, we guess that if you have several
pieces of fencing all with large holes, and you use them to cover each other, it
makes one solid piece of fence. However, after our last visit this is no more.
Two water butts were smashed up and pheasant feeders tipped over and their
springs removed. Two bags of pheasant feed were also emptied.
After this some nearby grouse butts were toppled.
It is clear that the concern of Councillor Anne Hawksworth over grouse
population stretches only so far as to her position in the shooting fraternity.
She supports the small bunch of shooting extremists led by Edward Bromet to
pleasure themselves over the killing of the artificially managed grouse, while
persecuting other animals that rightfully belong to the moor; and we declare
this attitude as disgraceful.
We call for Ilkley Moor to be a haven for wildlife and not a killing zone,
demarcated by a few fanatics who wish to boast about their 'pursuits'
The following link exactly demonstrates the ridiculous nature of Hawksworths
moor management schemes. The population of grouse across Rombalds moor have been
decimated, and any serious walker would testify to that fact,
"in the early hours of monday 3rd nov the alf sprayed a message on staples

lots of people persecuted by NETCU and the British Government for peaceful
protest so we decided to bypass the troublesome options and go for the more
direct ones instead.
thank-you NETCU for the inspiration!
In the start of October we went to a large battery farm in West Yorkshire. We
got into the sheds through an unlocked door leading to the shit compartment
underneath the cages. There we found many hens living in hell. We did some
research and this is actually illegal for the hens to be left to drown or starve
in this shit filled hell. So we did what was right and took all of the hens from
all of this part of the sheds. Some of them had been there so long they had
hardened shit stuck to their feet and one hen was totally encrusted because she
was found dying in a puddle of water and shit.
These hens were bathed in warm water, had their feet chisled of crap and wrapped
in fluffy warm towels before being put back outside with fresh food, water,
grass and sunlight. All of the hens are now recovering from a life of slow
torture for the sake of cheap eggs.
We'll be back.

I wonder if you could possibly

indeed carried out what they said they carried out. Unfortunately, I�m not the
person in the missive. My name is Derek, not David � checking the electoral roll
would have shown that. I work for an Internet service provider in the hotel
industry � not HLS and a check at Companies House would have confirmed that.
Neither do I have any children so the school run wouldn�t have been a problem.
In fact I totally agree with the
actions the ALF take and if you where able to gain access to the membership
records of organizations as diverse as �Defenders of Wildlife,� �HSI� and �WDCS�
you�d see that I�m a committed supporter of animal welfare.
A fact to remember: the real
target of this action has suffered nothing.

straight that would be appreciated, regards

Water dispensers were sliced and combined with feed hoppers to soil the
grain, barbed wire fences were cut, and a nearby fox trap was chopped to pieces.
However tonight wasn't about causing economic loss. It was about liberating
innocent lives..... AND causing economic loss!
Workers living on the site in a portacabin and caravan with dogs barking
through the night didn't deter us. We located an intensive breeder shed, crammed
solid with hundreds of young Partridges. Outside was a run where the birds could
leave the dusty shed to walk through inches of their own excrement and see the
outside world through metres of wire mesh and netting. Not any more! A few hours
with us there and the runs were in pieces, having removed the roof netting and
ripping side panels down. Thousands of birds were herded from the units and were
last seen flying off into the skies, back into the wild where they should be.
These 'people' are fairly thick types so in case it wasn't clear who had been

"During a dark and quiet night, something was rustling deep in the British
countryside..
Nestled amongst the tall shadows of animal exploitation, several figures were
busy breaking into an intensive battery farm unit. Hens were awaiting in their
prisons, cramped four or five to a cage, mutilated and featherless. 104 were
saved in a few small hours and taken to new, loving homes.
This action was carried out in solidarity with Dan Amos, a peaceful protestor

August 12, 2008 -- Trouble for Barclays
anonymous communiqu':
"Over the last few days, NETCU-ALF Division have been out tactically
coordinating some extremist activity.
5 Barclay's cash points in Surrey / Hampshire have been rendered useless with
a liberal application of super glue.
We would like to make it clear that this action was NOT taken as a result of
the handful of LSR (Huntingdon) shares held by Barclays. Keep them, sell them we
don't really care. What we are concerned about is your massive investment in the
NYSE Euronext. You have the power to pressure the NYSE into dumping HLS once and
for all.
The fact that Huntingdon's largest shareholder owns just a quarter of a
million shares is laughable. Now that they have been forced into this position
of pathetic investments, we are no longer interested in who holds LSR shares.
What we want is for Huntingdon to have NO shares. Therefore our demand is
simple. Get HLS off of the NYSE Euronext. There will be no compromise. Dumping
your LSR shares will not end this, only rectifying the cowards mistake made in
December 2006 by the NYSE will end this.
Until such a time as LSR shares are traded by the NYSE, all shareholders,
specialists, clearing agents, interests, as well as their subsidiaries,
investments are deemed eligible targets.
Yes Goldman Sach's, that means your 25% stake in Pret a Manger makes them a
target. Barclay's machines and banks will continue to be sabotaged. AXA branches
are also on the list. Until the NYSE makes the right decision, the screws will
continue to be tightened, until one of you screams louder than HLS did in
December '06. If you have an Achilles heel, we will find it.
We were going to dedicate this action to our esteemed leader, Steve Pearl,
but in light of recent circumstances, this one goes out to the recently interned
peaceful protestor Daniel Amos. You should have joined the ALF lad!
Its time to stop throwing abuse, and start throwing rocks. Get on the streets
and hammer Barclays, Pret a Manger, AXA and anyone else involved in the NYSE.

Moor Partnership to back out of plans to profit from blasting Ilkley grouse

I suspect the owner of the nice car in the drive won't be going anywhere for a
while, until they get four new tires, and when they do get rolling they'll be
able to show off the new paint job.

He seems to think that it's ok to torture and kill innocent animals,
and that mutilating a pregnant sheep with pitchforks and fence posts
before dumping the body in a wheelie bin is just a bit of Saturday
night fun. You may get off lightly in the courts because of your age,
but we'll make sure justice is done.
We don't just target vivisection all forms of animal abuse are
equally wrong.

April 19, 2008 -- ALF Outreach
reported by activists in the UK (see photos
below):
"So we recognised a little problem (if you can really call it that) within
the animal rights movement as activists continue to argue and disagree over what
forms of activism are most or more effective.
This is called the Direct Action vs. Outreach debate, which is known
throughout the broader revolution by compassionate individuals looking for real
change. A solution to this is ALF Outreach, taking direct action primarily to
educate others about the atrocities and crimes towards the non-human animals on
this earth.
Since understanding that an undeclared war against innocent individuals is
currently taking place, we knew we had to take action. Our cell demonstrated our
commitment in the last few months by stenciling 'animal liberation' over 40
times on walls, bollards, pillars, electricity pylons, water meters & carparks.
Identical tagging years ago inspired our activity.
This is dedicated to 90% of the public who continue to consume graveyard food
and to the badger who caught us off guard recently, the only individual who has.
Here is a tip for those who have spent a lot of effort to remove our work. It
takes far less time for us to tag than it does for you to clean up after us. The
bottom line is we will be back to replace our work time and time again and that
this is a much larger battle that you are not prepared for. Just remember that
you own the paths and streets just as much as we do, we claim the right to
decorate because nobody else has. Whether its animals in battery farms or those
starving in poverty, veganism is the solution for the forthcoming revolution.
Until all are free!
Want to join in? Get your stencils from

you can raid their offices, but we'll just double our actions to support them.

April 4, 2008 -- Butchers Market Stalls Glued
received anonymously:
"Late on the night of April the 2nd, nine of the freshly refurbished
market stalls were targeted on the famous Norwich market in
England. The nine market units belonging to at least three different
Butcher 'Businesses' had all their locks glued & messages reading
'Meat Is Murder' & 'Until the Suffering Ends' were spraypainted on
the walls & shutters of two stalls & both were signed by the ALF
logo.
Unfortunately these were the only gifts we could leave these
butchers. They should consider themselves lucky. This is only the
beginning.
The attacked market stalls were numbers 72, 73, 82, 83, 113, 122,
123, 102 & 103.
If anyone wanted to pay the abusive bastards at Norwich Market a
visit with glue & paint a helpful map & business guide can be found
at this address,

market has a total of 19 animal abusing stalls including butchers,
fishmongers, leather, wool & fishing tackle salesmen I'm sure
anyone interested would have a wide range to choose from."
March 31, 2008 -- Easter Bunny vs. Novartis
anonymous report:
"Easter has just passed and the Easter Bunny has paid visits to all the good
people, handing out vegan goodies. However, CIBA Vision [Novartis] has been
very, very bad, using animals to test their contact lenses. Rabbits are
typically used for these sorts of experiments due to their inability to blink
away the chemicals poured into their eyes. Well, well, well CIBA Vision, looks
like you got found out. The Easter Bunny got mad for her brethren and decided
one more visit was in order'
Workers at CIBA Vision would have arrived at work to find front and back
doors glued firmly shut and their com-pad out of use. Slogans such as 'SCUM' and
'ALF' were daubed across walls, windows and doors. Hopefully, while the workers
had to wait to break into their own facility, they would have had time to
contemplate the demands of the Easter Bunny'"

"Under the starry night sky one night in March, several activists were
waiting outside Charles Diplock Abattoir in Ringmer, Lewes, East Sussex. While
this sick individual makes money from slaughtering animals, and traveling around
the country slaughtering horses, we were gearing up to give his business some
remodelling.
Inside the compound we found a family of murdered calves and sheep dumped on
the concrete floor, having been hung up by the back legs using string and
slaughtered.
We also found vehicles used to bring animals to their deaths, and a truck
full of decomposing cows, left to rot. Well Charles, doesn't look like business
was booming but we thought we'd help you along a little. All tyres were popped,
expanding foam was inserted into the exhausts, trucks were paintstripped and
other vehicles plus office windows were spray painted.

February 29, 2008 -- Raiders Return to Boar Farm
anonymous communiqu':
"On a recent sunny day, an ALF cell visited Jays farm, near Haslemere. As
activists approached the enclosures, it could be seen that a mother had recently
given birth to piglets. These piglets were staying close to their mother as
activists worked on fencing just a few metres away. With the fencing down, the
mother stood defensively in front of her piglets, and waited to see what would
happen next... activists then threw small pieces of juicy English apples to the
mother boar who carefully went about eating them, activists moved off to the
next pen, leaving a trail out into the woodland.
The boar were well camouflaged, but a couple could be seen and a small area
of fencing opened. At the third pen a group of shy but curious boar, numbering
about fifteen, watched from a distance while activists worked. Apples were then
layed about. The fourth enclosure was opened up, but no boar were evident.
Small areas of fencing were removed in discreet areas to maximise the time
before the action was discovered, hopefully when the boars had left for the
wild.
English people should coexist with these shy pigs, yet the government, and
countryside sports 'enthusiasts' seem set on continuing their persecution.
This is unacceptable.

February 19, 2008 -- Biocair (HLS Supplier) Redecorated
anonymous communique:
"Under the cover of darkness, Cambridge Exterior Designers Inc. paid a visit
to Biocair, an industrial supplies company with customers like the notorious
Huntington Life Sciences.
Upon arrival at the building, activists decided it looked plain and boring.
They agreed that a little re-decoration was in order to bring the place
up-to-date and out of the dark ages where animal experimentation belongs.
After key-pads were glued and slogans sprayed on to the walls, glass-etching
fluid was thrown at the windows and paint-stripper brushed on to the
door-frames. Activists then moved on to the vans parked outside the building.
Locks were glued, paint-stripper thrown over the bonnets and the word 'SCUM'
brushed into the already-blistering paint-work. Glass-etching fluid was again
used, this time on the wing-mirrors and windscreens.
In the darkened car-park, the activists' movements were aided by the security
lights that Biocair had kindly installed, allowing them to see the locks and
tools more easily. Evidence of a previous attack by a different cell was
visible, the words 'Puppy Killers' noticeable on the garage doors.

received anonymously:
"In the early hours of Sunday morning, ALF activists arrived at Midsummer

By profitting from the torture of ducks and geese for an unnecessary and
unhealthy 'delicacy', Midsummer House became a target for the ALF.
Slogans like 'Stop Selling Foie Gras' and 'Ban Foie Gras' were among those
spray-painted on to the walls and windows of the building. Activists glued the
locks and applied paint-stripper to door and window frames and varnished wood.
Glass-etching fluid was also employed to damage the windows.

During the midnight hours of 6th January 2008, A.L.F volunteers gained entry
to a rabbit breeder who provides animals to suffer and die in the miserable
vivisection industry. Customers of this breeder include HLS and several UK
Universities.
A ventilation fan was forcibly removed to evade the alarm systems on the
doors. Inside rabbits were lined in barren cages breathing in the stench of shit
and urea, waiting to be tortured to death in animal testing labs. But tonight,
the activists had a more compassionate fate for them. A total of 129 rabbits
were loaded in friendship groups into bags and taken immediately to safety.
Never will they have to know or experience an experimental facility or
university lab. Some of the rabbits were visibly excited when they reached their
new lives, playing in the straw and eating carrots happily.
We couldn't leave without saying a proper good bye! On site we found a quad
bike with trailer plus a lawnmower. All tyres were popped, locks glued,
expanding foam in the exhaust, and were paintstripped. Next, we found a large
white van obviously used as part of the sickening business. We redecorated it
with nice new paint work, paintstripper, glued locks, popped tyres, and
expanding foam up the exhaust. We also found a rather posh sports car parked
outside the house which also had a little makeover just like the van.

January 11, 2008 -- McDonalds Chained, Open
received anonymously:
"On a midweek night in London, cheap entertainment is hard to find. However,
on this occasion, a bit of invention lead to a thoroughly hilarious and
entertaining show. In Shaftsbury Avenue the McShit has railings that are very
close to the metal door handles, and we thought it would be highly amusing if
they were chained together just before the shop was about to shut, thus
preventing the door being closed.
Well attaching and locking the chain was child's play... and then the fun
started. Watching the McManager and McAssistant McManager trying to tug the
metal chain with complete futility was brilliant, and then a McWorker was made
to stand at the door advising members of the public that the restaurant was,
dispite the fact the door was chained open, in fact closed. While sipping pints
of vegan lager from a nearby pub, we watched and laughed while the resident
McIdiots wondered how to solve this most unusual problem. How many restaurants I
wonder have ever had the problem of having their restaurant doors chained
OPEN!?!? It was better than any Hollywood movie, and I highly recommend this
activity to everyone who has a bit of chain, a lock and a desire for a good old
laugh.
We were surprised to see the McStaff appear with bolt cutters after about 20
minutes - I can't believe they actually had them in the shop! They tried to use
the bolt cutters like an axe for several minutes, swinging at the chain from
above their heads. Once they had got to grips with this very complicated device,
they were able to eventually cut through the metal chains which enabled them to
close their doors. Lessons have been learnt and the fun will be even greater
next time. Watch this space... thicker chain will make things quite a lot more
difficult!! hehehe
Much love to all the activists around the world fighting overground and
underground for total animal liberation. Keep fighting! We will win!"

January 10, 2008 -- Chicken Rescued Seconds Before Death
Brave Activists Rescue Chicken From Sun Valley Slaughter Line Seconds Before
Death
7th January 2008
Yesterday two activists walked past a security checkpoint using the side of a
live chicken transport lorry as cover to investigate the conditions at the
second biggest poultry slaughterhouse in the UK.
One of the activists said:
"The crates were piled fifteen crates high and there was inches of faeces and
blood, the smell made me gag, It was so hot in there, the chickens were covered
in excrement waiting to be loaded on to a large conveyor belt and then shackled
and killed."
This investigation was in response to recent coverage of conditions inside
intensive chicken farming facilities. The intention was to gather information
but after seeing how bad conditions were, however an opportunity arose and a
chicken was spontaneously rescued by the activists.
One activists managed to open a cage and run with 4 security staff and a van
chasing them on foot. One activist stopped for a couple of seconds to lead the
staff towards him and away from the activist with rescued chicken in his hands.
The chicken and activist got away but one male was apprehended by security staff
and arrested shortly after.
'Rocky' named after a chicken from the film 'Chicken Run' was taken to a new
home to live out the rest of his days in fresh air with clean water devoid of
any growth inducing hormones, chemicals and anti-biotics. Rocky seemed much
calmer than the activists minutes after the rescue took place, we are sure he
knew full well that we were on his side unlike the workers of Sun Valley.
One male was released late last night on bail for attempted burglary and
police are still searching for another individual last seen 'running from
security with a live chicken under his arm'.
He said:
'We had no intention of taking a chicken, the conditions were so horrific I
couldn't breath and was retching so I found it hard to run, I have since heard
that the chicken was homed with a loving family. I couldn't be happier, this
chicken was minutes away from having his throat slashed and body dragged through
scalding water.'
Rocky's new family said:
"Rocky had some hock burns on his legs caused by the high ammonia levels in
intensive farms and was a little unstable on his feet but we hope he will be up
and running very soon with some companions. He is still cheeping and has blue
eyes as chickens are slaughtered at only five weeks old they are still chicks.
The various chemical cocktails that have been fed to him and millions of other
chickens his body have caused him to grow too quickly and his legs cannot
adequately support his weight yet."
The Western Animal Rights Network would ask members of the public to think
about what that final release might be like for a chicken, 45 million chickens
die during a five week life of suffering before they even reach a place like Sun
Valley where it was documented that they were slaughtering 87 birds per minute
in 1993. The chicks are shackled upside down, they experience a violent death
which some say is preferable to their sustained torturous life. It is so easy to
remove yourself from this process of suffering and torment but replacing animal
products you eat with vegan fake "meats" and cutting out animal products all
together.
'You have just dined, and however scrupulously the slaughterhouse is
concealed in the graceful distance of miles, there is complicity.
