4,200 Mink Liberated ( FRANCE )
Taken from DirectAction.Info
According to media reports, during the night of October 15, approximately 4,200 mink escaped from a fur farm in the village of Saint-Cybranet (Dordogne) in southwest France. Cages were opened and the fence surrounding the farm was cut. A water system at the farm was also vandalized. Two days later, only 1,000 of the mink had been recaptured.
Thierry Agraffel, the owner of the farm (address: Lauzel, 24250 St Cybranet), cried to a local newspaper, "Twenty-one years of work and breeding completely destroyed...."

Four Mink Farms raided in one night! ( SPAIN )
Taken from DirectAction.Info
In the early morning hours of October 19, approximately 17,500 mink were released from cages at four fur farms in northern Spain.
Three of the farms were located near Abegondo (Galicia). The fourth farm was located several hundred miles away in Lubia (Soria).
In Lubia, some of the mink were recaptured, but others have been spotted miles away from the farm.
Charo Carrillo, the owner of a farm in the town of Oza dos Ríos, near Abegondo, told local media that the raid on her farm has ruined 20 years of work breeding mink for fur quality, color and other traits desired by the fur industry.
Another fur farmer, Pancho Vázquez Larumbe, estimated his losses at 300,000 Euros.

SHAC appeal denied
It has been three years since the legal aboveground animal rights activists the SHAC 7 were found guilty. The animal liberation movement has been waiting patiently to see outcome of what we hoped to be a quick appeal to get the AEPA overturned. The appeal response has finally come in from the Third Circuit U.S Court of Appeals. We have been living with fingers crossed and high hopes that the results would come back in favor of the animals; but this is not the case. The SHAC 7 convictions are being upheld, as well as the constitutionality of the Animal Enterprise Protection Act; and lastly, the appeal has been denied.
It is safe to say that the U.S Constitution is withering away and that freedom of speech is non existent. These results now leave everyone with the question; why fight legally and risk years in prison when you can work within the underground and go unnoticed? Why stand outside a business and protest if you could just as easily throw a brick through the window, or burn it down? Why protest a fur shop, when you can make a night time visit to a fur farm and free hundreds to thousands of animals? Remember, the underground movement has closed more fur farms, research labs, and animal exploiting businesses than the number of us they have put in jail.
