Animal Liberation Actions

On Sunday 9th February the animal liberationist Barry Horne ended his hunger strike that was begun on Monday 6th January. His hunger strike was the spark that provoked an unprecedented wave of attacks on targets connected to animal abuse. Over the last months dozens of animals have been liberated in daylight raids involving hundreds of people and thousands of pounds of damage has been done to property connected to animal abuse.

On Saturday 25th January a site that breeds beagles for vivisection was raided and eight beagles were freed. This was a national day of action and hundreds of people turned up. Due to the isolated site some people, despite a police presence, were able to enter the site and free the dogs. This is only one of the animal liberation related actions that has happened over the last few months.
