Actions in Chile

March 2007. The Animal Liberation Front made its debut this week in Temuco, capital of the 9th administrative region (north to south) of Chile.

A communiqué posted on a Spanish animal rights website on 14th March stated that 4 meat shops and a shop selling birds were targeted. According to the communiqué, the fronts of all of the shops were damaged and one of the meat shops had its windows damaged. Window and door locks were also glued shut.

The activists called the attacks "completely successful" and their communiqué stated, "We want every fighter to know that the struggle is also taking place at the ends of the earth."

There were no reports of the attacks in the Chilean media and it is unknown how police are treating these new actions.

Chile has several small grassroots and large national animal rights organisations, including Animanaturalis
http://www.animanaturalis.org/index.php , which campaigns in many Spanish-speaking countries including Spain, and Derechos Animales http://www.derechos-animales.com/ , a group based in Santiago.
