He was the perfect target for multiple reasons, including the fact that he owned the only mink farm in the southern part of Sweden, making him very isolated from the lobby industry.<\/p>\n<p>Since the begining of the campaign activists did everything they could to make him stop murdering mink. From demonstrations to blockades and even climbing the security tower inside the farm, Niclas was told time and time again that his murdering business was not welcome and needed to stop.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">The campaign didn\u2019t just see aboveground activities. In August 2017, activists broke into the farm and liberated 2000 mink. In 2019 just before his daughter\u2019s graduation, the ALF set his car on fire in front of his house. The fire travelled to the adjacent vehicle damaging it too, and the daughter complained that she was unable to be driven to graduation. During halloween that same year the Swedish Animal Rights Militia threw lots of cat shit in Niclas\u2019 garden and set up a grave stone in the front of his house \u2018RIP Niclas Pettersson ex-mink farmer\u2019.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/animalliberationpressoffice.org\/NAALPO\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Sweden_petterssen_Sep23b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-13963\" src=\"https:\/\/animalliberationpressoffice.org\/NAALPO\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Sweden_petterssen_Sep23b-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/animalliberationpressoffice.org\/NAALPO\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Sweden_petterssen_Sep23b-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/animalliberationpressoffice.org\/NAALPO\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Sweden_petterssen_Sep23b-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/animalliberationpressoffice.org\/NAALPO\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Sweden_petterssen_Sep23b.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Sabotages, slashed tyres, locking the gates of the farm and militant demonstrations were a known happening to Niclas, who a couple of weeks ago decided to shut down for good.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">We want to send love and congratulations to everybody who fought against that farm and ended up winning that battle, you\u2019re all absolutely fantastic and the animals are a tad better thanks to you!

Thank you for your fight and your resilience!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">In the 2019 arson report, the ALF wrote: \u201cWe have a message for you, Nicolas: We have already won. The question remains \u2013 how much do we need to escalate before you give up? We will keep increasing our actions until you stop, until your fur farm is closed and your exploitation of animals is consigned to history. For a future of freedom and a present of fire.\u201d Well, it seems they were right, Niclas had already lost and his animal exploitation business would turn into nothing but a line in the history books.<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>CELEBRATE AND FIGHT BACK!
