“In Copenhagen, Denmark, around January 10, local animal abusers operating a “butcher” had their vehicle vandalised by activists. “Stop killing” was written on the windshield with red paint and air was let out of a tyre.”

“In the early hours of the morning of the 13th of January 2026, some activists targeted the Nature Scot HQ near Inverness city centre in Scotland. This action was taken on behalf of the birds murdered each year by bloodthirsty huntsmen who are given licenses by Nature Scot to club/beat Guga (baby Gannet chicks) to death.
Their HQ was smashed, and covered in red spray paint. We will return to the HQ if our demands are not met: End the Guga hunt, stop licensing animal murder.”

“ENGLISH:
A few days ago in Paris, we disposed of around fifty rat traps containing anticoagulant poison, which causes rats that eat it to die in agony over several days.
Rats, like other non-human animals who live in cities, have their own reasons for being there. What right do we humans have to kill them?
We have two messages to convey:
– To activists: It’s easy to get rid of the rat traps used by the city of Paris. They are easy to recognize: they are black boxes attached to the fences of green spaces (parks, medians, etc..). All you have to do is cut the cable tie with a pair of scissors or wire cutters. It’s also possible to block the two entrances to the trap with expanding foam.
– To the people who decide to set these traps: Get lost, assholes!
FRENCH:
A Paris, il y a quelques jours, nous nous sommes débarassé d’une cinquantaine de pièges à rats contenant du poison anticoagulant, poison qui fera mourir le rat qui le mange en une agonie de plusieurs jours.
Les rats, comme les autres animaux non-humains qui vivent en ville, ont leurs propres raisons d’être là. De quel droit nous, humains, nous permettons de les tuer ?
Nous avons deux messages à faire passer :
– aux activistes : Il est facile de se débarasser des pièges à rats utilisés par la ville de Paris. Ils sont facilement reconnaissables, ce sont des boîtes noires attachées aux grillages des espaces verts (parcs, terre-pleins central, etc..). Il suffit de couper le collier de serrage avec une paire de ciseaux ou une pince coupante. Il est aussi possible d’obstruer les 2 entrées du piège avec de la mousse expansive.
– aux personnes qui prennent la décision d’installer ces pièges : Cassez-vous, connards !”

ENGLISH (translation):
“Animals are seen as things and used in infinite way by the human parasite. One of many exploiutation methos is their use as a model to show future human monsters how to exploit them, manipulate them, lock them up and see them as objects.
Agricultural colleges in Argentina keep multiple species for that reason, so we decided to steal their slaves and exploitation subjects. We took the ducks they enslaved and that they would’ve killed. Now their reality has changed, they are allowed to exist, they are fed with love and seen as people like us.
Lets put to practice true animal liberation, the kind that opens the cages and changes realities fot the exploited. it is the least we can do to balance out being a net negative for nature and all animals.
Frente de Liberacion Animal.”
SPANISH (original):
“Los animales son vistos como cosas y usadxs de infinitas maneras por parasitos humanos, una de las formas de explotación es su uso como modelo de explotacion, enseñándole a futuros monstruos humanos como manipularles, encerrarles y verles como objetos. Escuelas rurales de argentina tienen diversos animales con ese fin, fue asi que decidimos, quitarle lxs exclavos y sujetos de explotación a una de esas escuelas, nos llevamos los patos que exclavisaban y después matarían, ahora su realidad cambio, son consentidos, alimentados con afecto y vistos como sujetos equivalentes a nosotrxs
practiquemos la verdadera liberación animal, la que abre las jaulas y cambia la realidad de lxs explotadxs, es lo minimo que podemos hacer para contrarestar la realidad de ser una carga para la naturaleza y todxs lxs animales.

“Sometimes you just say ‘fuck it’ and go for it. Employees at a pet shop were cleaning cages and had left the gerbils enclosure unlocked. That was enough of a fuck it moment, pocketing three and walking away before anyone could notice.
Animals are not things to buy and sell. Give them the respect they deserve.

“After having learnt about fur and feather auctions we have been busy working out where the scummy breeders live. We followed a rabbit and guinea pig breeder back to their house, and once we found a suitable home we paid them a visit during Halloween.
Their set up was actually extremely easy to access, behind their house they had a muddy field with hutches full of guinea pigs. The rabbits were inside their garage, but we did not have homes for them, so we got to work in the field. We purposely took breeding females as the humans that offered homes were willing to take care of any offspring and they are usually the most exploited ones.
Unsurprisingly due to their unsuitable environment, all of them had infections, their lungs were not doing well and some had issues in their reproductive system. In the end 5 guinea pigs and their babies made a full recovery and will live a happy life away from the trade.

“Last September in the north of the UK we heard of a fur and feather auction happening in a dirty little pub. In fur and feather auctions, backyard breeders with zero regulations auction ‘pet’ animals to the highest bidder, or sell them in their stalls. It truly is a grim environment, with animals in tiny cages, pregnant guinea pigs and rabbits and no oversight whatsoever.
We had a free evening, so we decided to pay them a little visit. Hanging around in the car park we worked out what vehicles belonged to the breeders, and whilst one of them was offloading into the pub, we made a run for it, grabbed a cage and left before they came back.
Inside of that cage we found two diamond doves looking terrified, with their feet so caked in shit that we thought it could actually be a fungal infection. Luckily, after a lot of gentle cleaning, their feet started to look better, and with a lot of quiet and calm, they started looking more comfortable and happy every day.
Fuck pet breeders. And fuck auctioning living beings.

“On Saturday, December 13th, people hung banners above the highway. The banners were hung at highway exits leading to cattle collection points where the research group Ongehoord recently filmed footage.
These images show that (milked-out) cows and calves are systematically exploited and abused. The violent behavior of these cattle traders is not an exception to the rule, but a daily reality and an unavoidable part of the dairy industry. After all, cows will never walk into a scary transport truck on their own: they have to be beaten into it. However, the existence of the “supervisory authority” NVWA suggests that animal-friendly treatment is possible.
The government wants us to believe that these practices are being monitored, but the NVWA represents the interests of the animal industry and will always prioritize the economy. This will never resolve itself until you and I take matters into our own hands.”

“As the nation gets ready to celebrate a bloodbath, 18 precious turkeys were saved from a factory farm. This action took place many weeks ago, ensuring the turkeys were still small and weren’t impacted by the fattening food given to them at farms. For their safety, we waited to announce their liberation.
If you can do one thing as we enter 2026, become more radical. The government is cracking down on protests and our personal rights. Let it empower you to fight back harder. Grab a balaclava and liberate animals in the night. Smash some shit up. Show these scumbags that we won’t bow down gracefully.
This action is in solidarity with every animal who will be murdered this Christmas. We’re trying, and we will try even harder every year until you’re free.”
