Aktivist*innen der Animal Liberation Front haben am 12. August in Vancouver den Pelzhändler Eugene Klein auf seinem Anwesen besucht. Bei der Aktion zerstörten die ALF-Aktivist*innen den Truck von Eugene und verursachten einen Schschaden von über 60.000 Dollar. Sie spritzen stinkende Flüssigkeit durch die Dichtungen ins Wageninnere.

Bereits im Mai 2012 haben ALF-Aktivist*innen Eugene besucht und seinen 50.000 Dollar Truck und seinen nagelneuen VW schwer beschädigt. Zudem wurde Eugene im Oktober 2010 von der ALF besucht und seine Geschäftsräume und Autos mit schwarzer Farbe überschüttet und die Reifen zerstochen.

In einem Bekenner*innenschreiben übernahmen ALF-Aktivsit*innen die Verantwortung für die Aktionen:

12. August

In Bezug auf den Artikel in der ´National Post´, der Eugene Klein und sein abscheuliches Geschäft mit Capilano Furs und Taxidermy Studios verherrlichte, ging die Animal Liberation Front zur direkten Aktion über und zerstörte die Inneneinrichtung des Lastwagens von Eugene im Wert von 60.000 Dollar.

Im Schutze der Nacht erreichten wir das Anwesen von Eugene Klein und Spritzen, die mit stinkender Flüssigkeit gefüllt waren, drangen durch das Dichtungsgummi in seinen Transporter.

Eine Nachricht an Eugene Klein:

Eugene, wie du und deine Frau die letzten Jahre eines armseligen und miserablen Leben beginnen werdet, wirst du auch den Niedergang der Industrie mitansehen, die du mit aufgebaut hast.

Nach dem die ALF das letze Mal dein Haus besuchte, wurdest du in der Zeitung zitiert, gesagt zu haben du hättest Gewehre und hättest keine Angst vor uns.

Ja Eugene, wir haben auch keine Angst vor dir und du wirst uns schon töten müssen um uns zu stoppen.

Die Animal Liberation Front beobachtet dich die ganze Zeit. Wir schlagen dir und deiner Frau vor in Ferien zu fahren.

Bis jeder Käfig leer ist,

The Animal Liberation Front

Info: Capilano Furs wurde bereits mindestens zwei Mal von der ALF angegriffen, im May 2012 und im Oktober 2010.

August 12

In response to the article in the National Post glorifying Eugene Klein and his disgusting business, Capilano Furs and Taxidermy Studios, the Animal Liberation Front took direct action to destroy the interior of Eugene’s $60 000 truck.

Under the cover of darkness, we approached the residence of Eugene Klein and shot syringes filled with a foul smelling liquid through the rubber sealing and into his truck.

A message to Eugene Klein:

Eugene, as you and your wife Edith enter the last years of your pathetic, miserable life, you will watch an industry you helped build crumble to the ground.

You were quoted in the newspaper after the last time the ALF visited your house as saying you had guns and were not afraid of us. Well Eugene, we are clearly not afraid of you either and you will have to kill us to stop us.

The Animal Liberation Front is always watching. We dare you and your wife to go away on vacation.

Until every cage is empty,

The Animal Liberation Front

Note: Capilano Furs has been targeted by the ALF at least twice before, in May 2012 and October 2010.

On the night of May 21st four Vancouver fur stores were visited by the ALF. Capilano Furs, Speiser Furs, Snowflake Furs and Pappas Furs were covered in red paint to remind the public of the innocent blood spilled every day in the vicious fur trade. Eugene Klein, owner of Capilano Furs is dumb enough to run his fur business out of his home in North Vancouver so we also painted his $50,000 dodge truck and the brand new VW sitting in his driveway.

This action is dedicated to the hundreds of thousands of mink suffering and dying on the many filthy, polluted fur farms in the lower mainland.

To Megan Halprin of Snowflake Furs:

The sign outside of your house says 'The right to free speach does not include: harrassment, tresspassing and vandalism.' Well, the right to earn a fair living does not include torturing, abusing, and murdering others.

We didn't bother visiting your house because there is still evidence of a previous visit splattered all over your front door. It still looks great.

Right now the Seattle Fur Exchange/American Legend auction is taking place just across the border and tens of thousands of skins from Canadian wild and fur farmed individuals are being auctioned off to the highest bidding asshole. This sick event is one of the largest of its kind. We want the participants to know that every time you take a step forward, profiting off of violence, abuse and destruction of the natural world we will be right behind you, ripping and tearing at your heels. We WILL bring you down.

The new Fur Wars have just begun.

We will never stop UNTIL EVERY CAGE IS EMPTY.

On Saturday October 10 2010, we visted the locations of 3 companies who directly profit off of animal abuse.
Caplilano Furs in North Vancouver BC is run out of a home in North Van. We covered their entire doorstep and one of their cars with black paint and slashed the tires.

We then went to Sun Sui Wah Restaurant, one of the largest LIVE seafood restaurants in Vancouver. We chained their doors shut with heavy duty chains and padlocks, and painted on their walls SAVE OUR OCEANS and STOP SELLING SHARK FIN SOUP.

After that we went to Max Mara where we covered their front window with red paint and shattered their front door. STOP SELLING FUR!

UNTIL ALL ARE FREE.
