Greetings and salutations with love from the A.L.F. in so-called Australia
Todays action involved some sabotage of a resting death truck trailer. Sitting in plain sight, unattended, how could we not?
The recipe for this economic sabotage involved:
The classic, trusted red spray paint
Cutting of all wires and hoses
Damage to connection ports and lights
Drilling holes in 20 tyres
Sabotage of dog muzzles
This trailer will not be transporting any animals to their deaths any time soon.
For any comrades inspired by this action, a “step-up” drill bit comes with our stamp of approval 😉
Fuck speciesism and the animal industrial complex!
Until every slaughterhouse is burned to the ground, every death truck is sabotaged and every cage is empty.
We acknowledge that this action was taken on land never ceded. We acknowledge the First Nations peoples of this land, and stand in solidarity with their continuing struggle and fight against dispossession and oppression. Always was and always fucking will be First Nations land!
PS: Free Palestine, Congo, Sudan and all other lands fighting against colonisation.
March 12 News Report
The Livestock, Bulk and Rural Carriers Association (LBRCA) of NSW is warning all livestock carriers to be vigilant after alleged acts of animal activism targeting carriers across southern NSW.
“We are aware of two possible cases in the past few days including in Goulburn and on the Olympic Highway near Wagga Wagga,” the association posted on its Facebook page.
The LBRCA also shared a series of pictures showing the damage to the livestock trailers parked on the Olympic Highway.
“The damage was extensive and included derogatory comments spraypainted along the length of the vehicle and large holes ripped through 15 tyres.
“There was also significant damage to cabling, a repair cost of around $10,000, not to mention the loss of income while repairs are carried out.”
LBRCA said an emblem resembling the same one used by the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) was spraypainted on the back trailer, suggesting that the damage was carried out by this group.
“Should this group be behind the wave in these acts of vandalism, we need to be vigilant.”
The Animal Liberation Front is reportedly an international, underground “leaderless resistance” that engages in illegal direct action in pursuit of animal liberation.
The Australian faction has a Facebook group with 5500 followers were it also spruiks t-shirts sporting the logo that “gives businesses a fright”.
