FOUR RAIDS IN RUSSIA

June 17th, 2005 (Moscow region, Pushkino). Activists opened cages with minks on the fur farm “Pushkinsky”. As a result about 70 minks were released. Twelve minks were taken to the forest and were freed there. After previous raids farm security was doubled and more additional security measures were taken. But it didn’t make an obstacle for ALF activists to make an action.

Members of Animal Rights Militia visited breeding farm, which breeds animals for labs. 80-100 rats were released near the farm. 166 rats were released in the forests far away from the farm.
