After seeing that legal and civil tools do not have the capacity or potential to change this situation in a radical way, we [AAALF] have decided to take action and try to put an end to it with our own hands and means.
The Animal Liberation Front has claimed responsibility for an arson and sabotage targeting facilities in Iruña/Pamplona that will be used during the festival of San Fermin. During the night of June 6-7, a forklift was set on fire, anti-bullfighting messages painted and other damage caused inside the ‘Corrales del Gas,’ enclosures for bulls who will run in the encierro (running of the bulls) and be killed in the bullring during the festival. Earlier in the week, 13 holes used for the placement of fence posts along the route of the bull run were filled with cement.
Anonymous communique (translation):
Every year in the city of Pamplona, under the rusty umbrellas of tradition
and festivities, more than 40 bulls are killed. More than 40 animals will
face a painful and agonizing end in the streets and bullring of this city.
For these animals, the ‘Corralillo del Gas’ becomes their corridor of death,
and the fence becomes their cage: some waiting days for their turn to
arrive, they pass from the bad drink of the morning confinement and the
painful death of the bullfight in the afternoon, and although the fact of
killing these animals seems neither more cruel nor more unnecessary than the
exploitation, use and systematized murder of millions of animals around the
world for consumption, experimentation, clothing or leisure, we believe it
is necessary to take measures to end this cruel act that takes place in the
city of Pamplona “
For reasons that we consider more than obvious and sufficient, and that we
will not go into explaining now, we consider legitimate:
We are “(Nº19)”, a cell belonging to the A.L.F. (Animal Liberation Front), and we claim responsibility for the sabotage to:
With these actions we intend:
Until the last cage is empty.
Español:
Cada año en la ciudad de Pamplona, al amparo del roñoso paraguas de la
tradición y la fiesta, se asesinan a más de 40 toros. Más de 40 animales que
se enfrentan a un doloroso y agónico final en las calles y plaza de toros de
esta ciudad. Para estos animales, el “Corralillo del Gas” se convierte en su
corredor de la muerte, y el vallado en su jaula. Esperando algunos durante
días a que llegue su turno, pasarán el mal trago del encierro de la mañana y
la dolorosa muerte de la corrida a la tarde. Y aunque el hecho de matar a
estos animales no nos parece ni más cruel ni más innecesario que la
explotación, uso y asesinato sistematizado de millones de animales alrededor
del mundo para el consumo, experimentación, vestimenta u ocio, creemos
necesario tomar medidas para acabar con este acto tan cruel que ocurre en la
ciudad de Pamplona”
“Por motivos que consideramos más que obvios y suficientes, y que no vamos a
extendernos a explicar ahora, consideramos legítima:
Somos “(Nº19)”, una célula perteneciente al F.L.A. (Frente de Liberación Animal), y asumimos la autoría de los sabotajes causados a:
Con estos actos pretendemos:
Hasta que la última jaula quede vacía.
