"This night of 29 july in La Louvi�re (Belgium) we risked being arrested for vandalism, turn by turn one of us watched in case the police or vehicles arrived while the others painted some messages on the giant advertisings of an animal circus 'Bouglione Juniors'.
Later in the night, we painted 'MEAT = MURDER - ALF' on the butcher shop 'Renmans'.
We also paint a STOP signal with the slogan 'STOP EATING ANIMALS'.
We have done this action of propaganda for animal liberation through graffiti with the intention of adding ourselves to the call for illegal actions against companies how exploit animals.
To Bouglione: Stop to use animals in your show! Circus with animals are not fun for them! We will strike again!
The day of the animal liberation victory will be the first day of peace on the Earth.
GO AND FIGHT FOR THEM NOW !

"Remember those games of knock-and-run that you used to play as kids, leaving people standing at empty doorsteps? Time to bring them back..

The rules are simple - wake up an animal exploiter in the middle of the night with a special knock-and-run!

Time to get creative!

To start this game off, we visited Baudouin de Canniere. He helps Euronext make money off animal exploitation. After tagging his door at 3am, we banged heavily with an axe and disappeared into the quiet night as it fell hard onto his doorstep..

Drop HLS now!

"In the night of 6th October we went up to the house of Vincent van Dessel, an important scumbag of NYSE Euronext in Belgium. You live in a luxurious house with a huge garden. [...]

As long as HLS is still listed on NYSE Arca we will live in the night [...] This time we just paintstripped the two motorcycles in front of your door, punctured the tires and threw blood colored paint on your walls and door. We were with quite a lot of people so it gave us some time to redecorate your garden. We basicly threw around all of your nice little flowers and plants, we hope you liked it!

It is serious Vincent [...] Innocent animals are suffering and are being killed in Huntingdon Life Sciences. It is us who have to stand up and make HLS history. [...] It's your choice NYSE Euronext [...]

Make the right decision or we will be back [...] ....
