Press Statement from the Animal Liberation Front in Ireland

The following is a press release submitted to an international animal rights website

On the 29th May Animal Liberation Front
activists rendered over 40 Squirrel Traps
inoperable in Clongoswood College
grounds in Clane,Co. Kildare.

Squirrels have been caught in these crude
devices and killed under the guise of a 'survey'
initiated by the Environment Protection
Agency and the Zoology Department of Trinity College Dublin.

Squirrels were found jumping and throwing
themselves against the walls of these traps,
some were wounded. Both the squirrels and also
birds caught in these traps were severely
distressed. A note attached to these traps by
the person assigned to carry this out cruel act
urges others to borrow these traps and do
likewise.

A message saying "NO TRAPPING signed the ALF" was sprayed
on a building nearby.

The ALF is observing this situation and will
continue to destroy any traps found in this wood
and in either of the other two areas in Co.
Kildare included in the survey.

Beautiful animals have a right to live in peace
The ALF will not hesitate to act on their behalf.

Until all are free, the ALF.
