The padlocked gates gave way easily under the bolt cutters<br \/>\nand the sheds were accessible through the windows, giving us plenty of<br \/>\nroom to carry on the operation. We had not taken into consideration<br \/>\nsomething important. The quick growth of the turkeys had turned them<br \/>\nfrom easy-to-carry, chicken sized birds into huge animals since our last<br \/>\nscouting. They were now almost ready to be slaughtered. We decided that<br \/>\nthirty was as many as we could take and one by one we carried them to<br \/>\nthe transport. In less than fifteen minutes the birds were loaded and on<br \/>\ntheir way to a safe new home. As the tractor was close by we decided to<br \/>\nuse a window punch to cost a little more money to the animal abuser. It<br \/>\nis incredibly satisfying to see the glass shattering, thinking of the<br \/>\nbills that the farmer will have to pay. We see this action not as an act<br \/>\nof heroism but as a means to an end tool. Decentralised actions<br \/>\nthroughout the UK to destabilise the animal abuse system aren&#8217;t just a<br \/>\ntoken of solidarity towards our non-human comrades, but a completely<br \/>\nnecessary behaviour that should be repeated across the board and<br \/>\ncombined with resilient overground campaigns that seek something else<br \/>\nthan the spread of veganism. We shouldn&#8217;t be discussing the ethics of<br \/>\nsabotage and their impact on the general public, we should be attacking<br \/>\nwith all our rage towards what hurts them the most; their money.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text\">Let this be your call to action. From butcher shops to slaughterhouses,<br \/>\nfrom calves to fish, it is time to act. It is time to cause them enough<br \/>\nmoney that their insurance companies decide to not cover them any<br \/>\nlonger. It is time to rescue as many animal victims as we possibly can.<br \/>\nIt is time to act. We hope that our words transmit our sense of urgency.<br \/>\nThe world, the animals and the environment around us cannot afford to<br \/>\nwait a little longer. Every animal slaughtered, every tree cut and every<br \/>\nperson dead after being trapped by this system will accelerate<br \/>\nexponentially the destruction of the planet. With this action we also<br \/>\nwant to remember Barry Horne.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text\">Barry lives in those who act.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text\">Who, if not you?<br \/>\nWhen, if not now?<\/p>\n<p class=\"text\">Animal Liberation Front.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Received anonymously; click\u00a0here\u00a0for video from the rescue: We sat in the hedge waiting until the house by the farm turned all lights off.
