Hundreds of mink freed in Animal Liberation Front operation against fur farm in Scorzè (Italy)

“ON AUGUST 23 WE OPENED THE CAGES AT THE MINK FARM ON VIA TOSATTI IN SCORZE’ (VE) – ITALY

THERE WERE THREE STRUCTURES AT THE FARM FOR THE KEEPING OF ANIMALS, ONE WAS EMPTY, SO WE WERE BUSY IN THE OTHER TWO WHERE HUNDREDS OF MINK WERE LOCKED IN CAGES. WE REMOVED ALL IDENTIFICATION TAGS, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO IDENTIFY OR CLASSIFY ANY ANIMAL WHO WAS RECAPTURED.

WE DAMAGED SEVERAL CAGES AND DESTROYED DOZENS OF METERS OF FENCE AT THE BACK OF THE FARM TO ALLOW THE MINK TO ESCAPE INTO THE FIELDS BETWEEN THICK CROPS AND STREAMS.

SOON FARMS WILL START KILLING THOUSANDS OF MINK FOR THE PRODUCTION OF FUR.

FOR THESE ANIMALS WHO WILL BE SKINNED THERE IS NO OTHER POSSIBILITY THAN TO OPEN THE CAGES. ANIMAL LIBERATION IS NOT EMPTY WORDS BUT A REALITY WHERE THERE IS OPPRESSION.

WE DEDICATE THIS LIBERATION ACTION TO THE ANARCHIST PRISONERS GIANLUCA AND ADRIANO.

NELL’ALLEVAMENTO ERANO PRESENTI TRE STRUTTURE PER LA PRIGIONIA DEGLI ANIMALI, UNA ERA VUOTA, CI SIAMO QUINDI OCCUPATI DELLE ALTRE DUE CHE RINCHIUDEVANO CENTINAIA DI VISONI. SONO STATI SOTTRATTI TUTTI I CARTELLINI IDENTIFICATORI, RENDENDO IMPOSSIBILE OGNI FORMA DI RICONOSCIMENTO E CATALOGAZIONE IN CASO DI CATTURA DI QUALCHE ANIMALE.

SONO STATE DANNEGGIATE NUMEROSE GABBIE E ABBATTUTI DECINE DI METRI DI RECINZIONE SUL RETRO DELL’ALLEVAMENTO PER PERMETTERE AL VISONI DI FUGGIRE NEI CAMPI TRA FOLTE COLTIVAZIONI E CORSI D’ACQUA.

PRESTO NEGLI ALLEVAMENTI INIZIERA L’UCCISIONE DI MIGLIAIA DI VISONI PER LA PRODUZIONE DI PELLICCE.

PER QUESTI ANIMALI CHE SARANNO SQUOIATI NON C’E’ ALTRA POSSIBILITA’ CHE APRIRE LE GABBIE, CHE LIBERAZIONE ANIMALE NON SIANO PAROLE VUOTE MA CHE SI CONCRETIZZINO DOVE L’OPPRESSIONE E’ PRESENTE.
