\u201cA TRIBUTE TO VIOLETTE\u201d (OPERATION CUORE LIBERI ACT II): TWO PIGS LIBERATED FROM A SLAUGHTERHOUSE ON THE 9TH OF APRIL 2024 !<\/p>\n

it calls us, it gives us a duty, it makes us rise. It brings us, relentlessly, in front of the same doors.<\/p>\n

Violette was liberated last November, during the first \u201cCUORE LIBERI\u201d operation.
\nShe was already weak when she arrived at the place that welcomed her. She got taken away shortly after by a pulmonary infection.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe slaughterhouse\u201d isn\u2019t just a place. It\u2019s also the factory ground for an exploitation that digs down to the bone.<\/p>\n

A poison attacking animals and infiltrating their body. It sneaks in and grabs back those who it could not tear appart and dooms the ones who made it out. Slowly devouring them from the inside.<\/p>\n

But we promised Violette that her name wouldn\u2019t get to fade away.<\/p>\n

Direct action as a way to fix those lives, slashed by slaughterhouses. As a way to never forget.<\/p>\n

Scars only heal once you took revenge, at last.<\/p>\n

Actions only stick when they are aimed at the power. So we put together another story, written with those at the bottom of the ladder.
\nAll those worthless and invisible bodies, dying at rates so high we can\u2019t even count them.<\/p>\n

Violette\u2019s lifeless body says it all, crudely.
\nAnd here we are, once again, meeting up to punch back.<\/p>\n

We went in a forest, to slide into our second skin.
\nTo turn our flashlights back on, providing us with this soft red light that makes our faces glow at night.<\/p>\n

This time, we took revenge in a slaughterhouse.<\/p>\n

The back door finally broke apart, as a gun going off in the dark, and we screamed. Maybe a little too much, but it made us happy.<\/p>\n

A slaughterhouse isn\u2019t just four walls and a roof, it\u2019s someone. A border patrol guard standing in our way with it\u2019s smell, straight out of a graveyard, and it\u2019s captive bolt gun. It\u2019s watching for the world to stay splitted between night and day, the ones who live and the ones who died, suburbs and towns, animals and us, victims and abusers, the exploited and the ones who profit.<\/p>\n

The animal question stands here, between red, white and black.
\nPigs dont have words coming out of their mouth. Instead, they look at you. They talk with their face, and we get it all.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s our burden because it makes us responsible.
\nWhen we get in, tired eyes and broken bodies immediately stand out.<\/p>\n

Them and those cracks in the concrete flour, as a breach between what animals are forced to be and what\u2019s forbidden to them.<\/p>\n

A place to eradicate.<\/p>\n

And that one pig, in the left corner of the first box, understood it.<\/p>\n

That there\u2019s nothing to understand no more.
\nThat there\u2019s no outside.
\nThat his world stops, at the end of this corridor, tomorrow, at dusk.<\/p>\n

So he\u2019s drowning his eyes in the holes in the ground
\nAs if this ground would suddenly break open.
\nEnding it all, now.<\/p>\n

An animal who\u2019s taking refuge in solitude, self mutilation or depression, is everything but a victim who consents and accepts the injustice done to them.<\/p>\n

For those postures are still ways to resist, to try and bear the unimaginable. And for there is, in each attempt at resignation something that shows you as the actual looser of the fight.<\/p>\n

We decide to carry this pig, because you cannot allow yourself to take the time to choose, or the memory of those left behind comes to chew at your head forever after.
\nAs it\u2019s time to get the hell out of there, we notice, in another dimly lit corner, another pig, smaller than the others. He\u2019s isolated and has a tumor as big as a football. How could we leave without him ?<\/p>\n

We carry him out too and decide that we\u2019ll just figure things out later.<\/p>\n

We each went our ways in the early morning, knowing that we\u2019ll see each other again, soon.<\/p>\n

After our last slaughterhouse blockade, local newspapers wrote this about us : \u201cwe dont know who they are, or when they\u2019ll strike next\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ain\u2019t gonna lie, we actually like this.<\/p>\n

After this 27th liberation, we keep in our minds yet another unforgettable heritage.
\nAt the end of the day it\u2019s there, in those very moments, that life and death look at each other without hatred.
\nAnd between us remains light. The same light that emerges when a cage pops open.<\/p>\n
