Received anonymously. Click here for VIDEO from this action.

On the 19th of August activists entered a fur farm during a protest in Hjo, Sweden. 5000 mink were freed from their cages and so far no one has been charged for the action. Activists covered the farmers home in stickers to remind him that someone will always be watching until every last cage is empty. Not only does the farmer Knut Indebetou torture mink he also raises thousands of chickens for slaughter, this is not the first time he has been targeted and it will not be the last!

(No horses were released by activists but the farmer has made this up to discredit the action)

Additional report:

The farmer has earlier been targeted by animal rights activists such as animal rights militia because of the minkfarm. Knut Indebetou who runs the farm has also a large chicken farm with 250,000 chickens for meat production.

In a statement, the Press Office said

“Imprisoned in cages for life, or mercilessly trapped with painful leg-hold traps in the wild,  fur-bearing animals killed to make unnecessary fashion statements are forced to endure intensive confinement, compared to the miles of territory these still-wild animals would enjoy in their natural state… The Animal Liberation Front and other anonymous activists utilize economic sabotage in addition to the direct liberation of animals from conditions of abuse and imprisonment to halt needless animal suffering.”

Those concerned with the truth should not be misled by claims of those with economic interests, for instance ridiculous stories that the animals released are domesticated and unable to survive in the wild, or that the animals voluntarily returned to their cages, or that they froze to death or starved within hours, or were immediately run over by automobiles or eaten by household pets, or that horses on the same farm were taken or injured.

The Animal Liberation Front and other anonymous activists utilize economic sabotage in addition to the direct liberation of animals from conditions of abuse and imprisonment to halt needless animal suffering. By making it more expensive to trade in the lives of innocent, sentient beings, they maintain the atrocities against our brothers and sisters are likely to occur in smaller numbers; their goal is to abolish the exploitation, imprisonment, torture and killing of innocent, non-human animals. A copy of the Final Nail, a listing of known fur farms in North America, is available from the Press Office website.
