MORE BROKEN WINDOWS AT MCDONALDS (Netherlands)

anonymous report:

"In the morning of April the 6th the A.R.O.M.A (Animal Rights One Man Army) went out again. This time paying a third visit to the Mc-Donalds in Deventer (Netherlands).

Last time I smashed their Mc-Drive windows but later learned they had another one of these booths. This time i also smashed the second one by breaking seven windows. Also a glass door of the eating-zone was smashed.

Cause lets be honest people; The biggest disgrace in the world is that Mc-Donalds is allowed to put the word 'restaurant' above their entrance!

PS: On the other side of the city I smashed the windows and hood of an SUV-Like vehicle. This was at a car dealership since the A.R.O.M.A does not believe in damaging personal belongings. Any property of the State or Companies may be completely destroyed.

A.R.O.M.A"

BULLFIGHT SPONSOR VANDALIZED (Mexico)

anonymous report:

"Conscious of the fact that Telmex destroys the land and sponsors bull-torturing events, we of the Brigades for the Liberation of Colima, Mexico have sabotaged over 30 phones in just 2 days.
Sabotage is easy, take action."

>>

CHURCH BILLBOARDS SABOTAGED (Spain)

The Catholic church has placed ads on hundreds of billboards in Spain comparing the protection of endangered species to abortion. The billboards feature an image of a baby next to a protected species of lynx, along with the slogan, "¿Y yo? ¡Protege mi vida!" ("What about me? Protect my life.")

Activists have damaged, or altered the message on several billboards.

CAGES OPENED AT FUR FARM (DELAYED REPORT) (Italy)

anonymous communique received by aboveground activists in Italy (translation):

"Sunday, December 14, 2008

Taking advantage of a storm we entered in the Pisacane fur farm in Santuario (Savona). Our goal was to liberate the animals and inflict economic sabotage to those who make money on their suffering.
The presence of alarms in one part of the fence and the proximity of the house made it impossible to open fences, all reinforced for the fear of liberators.
So we dismantled rows of cages from an empty shed and put them as bridges to freedom.
Opening the cages in 4 sheds was done in a moment. As a lightning in the storm we hit and disappeared.

For the mink."
