August 10, 2008 -- Two UCLA Vans Expropriated

anonymous communique:

"on the nights of july 23 and 27, we stole two more UCLA vans from Riverside and Chino Hills and have expropriated the funds for the vans to help animals. So far we've cost UCLA over 150 thousand dollars in vans which is just a start to penalize them for the use of our tax money for gruesome primate experiments.

those of us who attend UCLA or work here pay into their billion dollar bank account using our tuition fees, book fees, even eating rotten campus food. we realize that part of that money goes into making monkeys suffer by putting cylinders inside their brain tissue and getting monkeys strung out on meth and other drugs. we are indirectly participating in this crime against nature and morality. we are all Gods creations and so are the monkeys who we have witnessed and heard screaming out from the hell they endure day after day after day after day.

We're not stupid and we know what goes on at our own university and we're sick of it and if we cant leave our studies or our jobs right now the least we can do is cost UCLA money and force them to stop these awful experiments on monkeys being done on our campus and the VA across the 405.

our suggestions to those who are on campus or anyone else who care about monkeys being tormented and killed by the callous fucks like edythe london, jouquin fuster, william melega, nelson freimer, lynn fairbanks and other sadists who enjoy tormenting and killing monkeys is to confront them covertly or overtly where ever and whenever you can. hey, how about following them to their cars in their parking structures? there are a lot of ways to cost the bastards money and make torturing nonhuman animals less rewarding.

June 26, 2008 -- Toilets Plugged at Staples

received anonymously:

"To all of the activists who went to speak out against Staples' continued support of the murderous Huntingdon Life Sciences this weekend we would like to apologize for not showing up to be by your side. We instead took a little drive south to spend the weekend in Orange County. You should have seen how pretty the beaches were last weekend, the ocean was exceptionally gorgeous and even warm enough for a quick dip. Anyhow, thanks for organizing and showing up for the weekend of action demos.

Oh, and by the way, we did spend our afternoons last weekend visiting as many of the OC Staples locations as we could. Direct action walked right in the front door. We flushed compressed sponges down quite a few of Staples' easily accessable toilets followed by handfuls of toilet paper. Several Staples stores should be making expensive phone calls to plumbers this week. (our recipe: kitchen sponge, rinse, ring out, fold as small as possible, bind with rubber bands, let dry until stiff then flush away.)

Hey Staples, announce that you dropped HLS. We can be creative and we won't stop.

June 13, 2008 -- UCLA Van Goes Up in Flames

anonymous communiqu�:

"At the start of last week, in Irvine, CA, a van owned by UCLA went up in flames.
For all of those affected you have the UCLA primate vivisection program to blame.
It is unacceptable for us to see, hear, and know what is going on in our animal labs without taking action. Every time we pass someone like Arthur in the hallways and have to witness his stomach churning grin or watch Joaquin double checking the door locks on his little red Mercedes we have to choke back a crippling amount of disgust and hatred. It is becoming almost impossible to hold back. Then we hear the monkeys wailing and screaming and we find the strength to stay put. We are driven to show the world the compassionless support that UCLA gives to these monkey killers and to do anything we can to end the needless suffering that the primates are forced to face. The end of UCLA vivisection is coming. We urge you to start switching over to non-animal protocol without haste.

May 16, 2008 -- Windows Broken, Slogan Painted at KFC

anonymous report:

"On May 14th, 2008 in Southern California, A KFC was sabotaged with the following: 'Murderers', 'Murders Avenged' and the ALF logo spraypainted on the walls of the building and all windows broken. Because We Must."

anonymous report:

"Wednesday night after business hours in Ventura County, California, 2 Staples office supply stores were told to 'drop HLS.' At least 10 windows were etched in the front of one of the stores, locks were glued up, 'Drop HLS' was spray painted on the front wall, and red paint was splashed all over the entrance and sidewalk of both of the stores. This was done to remind them of the blood of innocent animals on their hands from associating with Huntingdon Life Sciences. Until they cut their ties with HLS, they can expect to have many more of their stores redecorated. All we ask is that Staples cut their ties with HLS, and they will be able to continue business as usual.

May 13, 2008 -- Target: Staples (HLS Supplier)

anonymous communiqu�:

"Action: Incendiary device left under Staples delivery truck.
Action: Small explosive device inserted into exhaust system of additional Staples delivery truck. (If it hasn't been activated yet, it will as soon as it gets hot enough.)

When: Two consecutive nights, The last week of April.

Where: San Diego area.

Reason: Staples support of HLS in the UK is unacceptable. When you should be seeing animal torture and murder you are seeing profits instead. We hope to clear that up for you and to guide you towards the proper ethical choice.

This will continue (so many of those trucks...) until the CEO of Staples USA and Staples UK publically, and permanently cut ties with HLS."

anonymous communiqu�:

"Sunday 4/20/2008

An incendiary device was left under a Staples delivery truck in Garden Grove, CA.

We did this due to Staples continued support of Huntingdon Life Sciences (the notorious animal murder and torture laboratories). Unmarked Staples trucks have been spotted making deliveries to the HLS lab in the UK. Trying to sneak in with unmarked vans... shame on you Staples executives. Now you have to think about this, do you, as a company with stores and warehouses filled with paper, want to take a stand against those of us who are notorious for bringing fire???
DO THIS: Cut your ties with HLS.

A note to activists out there: If Staples doesn't cut those HLS ties lets get busy eh? Those stores are everywhere. KEEP THE PRESSURE ON HLS! We can and will shut them down.

April 22, 2008 -- Masked Avengers Free 40 Mink

anonymous communiqu�:

"04-21-08

We, the masked avengers of the Animal Liberation Front released around 40 Blue Iris mink from the breeding stock at Jefferson Fur Farm, [address deleted]. Breeding records containing genetic history were also permanently destroyed. It will be a hard road ahead for these mink and their offspring, but with our help they now have a chance at survival. These animals are not capitalist commodities to be bought and sold for fashion or vanity, but unique individuals deserving of liberation from human exploitation. Even if some of the mink do not make it we feel it is better to die free, then at the hands of their speciesist captors.

To the Posches, owners of Jefferson Fur Farm: Consider this your first warning. Tear down this death camp and let the mink live free. If you don't we will be back to finish the job.

To others concerned with the well-being of fellow living beings. First and foremost, go vegan. If you've been vegan for a while, it's time to start looking up animal abusers in your area and doing the research for how to effectively cripple them. Work in small affinity groups, be cautious always-- macho never, and never give information if captured. It's time for animal rights to move beyond consumer sub-culture, towards an active liberation movement, which threatens the capitalist commoditization of life and the speciesist ideology itself.

We want to make it very clear that we will not be intimidated by the states continued witch hunt against the earth and animal liberation movements. Draconian prison sentences and repressive legislation will not deter us from our goal of total earth, animal, and human liberation. For every liberator you throw in prison, there will two more to take her place. For every activist's house you raid, there will ten times that many cages emptied. You can take our freedom, but you will never extinguish the flame that burns in our heart. Let your passion mirror the animals oppression and our persecution.

February 22, 2008 -- ALF Claims Responsibility for Fire At Home of Vivisector

anonymous communiqu�:

"Edyth London, you and your work are deplorable. You are given paychecks in exchange for addicting primates, the closest kin that the human species knows, to numerous sickeningly addicting drugs like crystal meth. For forcing these innocent and sensitive beings to suffer through a type of hell that they would never encounter if it wasn't for your deranged science you deserve to know true justice.

This is why on February 3rd 2008 we left an incendiary device at your house at [address deleted] in Beverly Hills. Edyth, the fire that night was exactly the size we wanted it to be. It was just a little outreach because we want to see you make the sound ethical choice to stop vivisecting primates. We know what we are doing and fires can be much larger.
Edyth, your secrets are very ugly and the spotlights on them are getting brighter. The LA Times says that you plan to expand mad science to include teenage human beings. They also pointed to the fact that you torture monkeys and Phillip Morris picks up the tab. The LA Times didn't ask but we will, 'Do you get rich while animals (and soon humans) suffer all in the name of making tobacco products more addicting?'

You make us sick and you inspire us into action Edyth. As each day begins and nothing that you own is burning consider yourself lucky.

Now is the time to stop vivisecting.
We don't back down.
Ever.

February 13, 2008 -- Three Goats Rescued From Agricultural School

anonymous communiqu�:

"In the early hours of Saturday, Feb. 9th 2008, three young goats were liberated by the ALF from the Carpinteria High School FFA in California. After cutting through one lock and one fence, we took them from their small pens with concrete floors and carried them to freedom. They were taken to a place where they will be able to live their lives free from cages and fences, able to enjoy sunshine and grass as opposed to steel bars and concrete floors. As we brought them to their new home, they immediately stopped crying, began eating the grass around them, and enjoyed their surroundings. They listened to us and licked our faces as we soothed them before leaving the three of them on their own. They will no longer be victims to animal exploitation or slaughter for human greed.

The FFA is an organization that teaches kids from a young age how to carry on the fucked up tradition of anthropocentrism, where they are taught how to raise animals for exploitation, abuse, and eventually murder. FFA is known for keeping animals in small, dirty, unkempt, confined places where they lack nurturing and stimulating interaction with other animals. As long as the FFA continues to raise animals for the meat, dairy, or egg industries, the ALF will continue to take actions against these practices.

February 10, 2008 -- 47 Rats Rescued

anonymous communiqu�:

"Recently, concerned citizens rescued 47 rats who were apparently part of a breeding program at Scripps 'Mercy' Hospital in the Hillcrest area of San Diego. We entered through an unlocked door and found these beautiful innocent creatures living in squalor. Eight were crammed into each tiny barren cage. Their white fur was matted in urine and feces. Their babies were to be stolen from them and tortured in useless experiments, but now they are in loving homes where they will spend the rest of their lives as individuals, rather than research tools to be discarded when no longer necessary.

Who are the terrorists in this situation: those who peacefully rescue neglected beings from abuse and cruelty, or those who terrify, torture and destroy innocent life?

This rescue is dedicated to the brave people who speak out and more importantly act in support of direct action and rescue."

February 7, 2008 -- Promises Kept

According to media reports, an incendiary device was left at the front door of UCLA vivisector Edythe London's home in Los Angeles early on February 5. The "device" charred the front door. Nobody was home at the time of the fire.

The incident follows an October 20th ALF action at London's home during which a window was broken and a garden hose inserted, flooding her home and causing over $20,000 in damages. In the communiqu� released following the action, the ALF promised to return if necessary, "One more thing Edythe, water was our second choice, fire was our first.... It would have been just as easy to burn your house down Edythe. As you slosh around your flooded house consider yourself fortunate this time. We will not stop until UCLA discontinues its primate vivisection program."
