Earlier this month, a quart of bleach was poured into the fuel tank of a
mobile slaughter unit operated by Bolar Custom Meat Cutting (381
Delameter Rd, Castle Rock, WA). This was done with the goal of causing
damage to the unit’s fuel system and providing temporary respite from
the bloodshed.

Last week, a mobile slaughter truck operated by Wards Custom Meat Cutting
(25906 NE 147th Ave, Battle Ground, WA) was sabotaged by having a chemical
abrasive introduced to its fuel system.

There is nothing humane about turning a living-breathing animal into a
lifeless commodity in order to satisfy frivolous human desires. The so called
‘humane meat movement’ is not about respecting the ‘welfare’ of non-human
animals, but about masking and normalizing a
culture of violence and exploitation directed towards sentient non-humans.
This is an act of solidarity with the pigs and cows that are slated to be
killed by this company and with all the victims of animal agriculture.

Until the last slaughterhouse truck is idled and the last butchers blade is
snapped. A.L.F. Freedom Summer 2014 has officially commenced.

Meanwhile, mainstream press reports that the “Department of Homeland Security…is treating the incidents as domestic terrorism.” while another reports the FBI is investigating.
