Criminal ALF responsible for hundreds of bird deaths after enclosure break in

Extremist organisation, the Animal Liberation Front, have admitted to breaking into a shoot in Gloucestershire after 'weeks of surveillance'.

The illegal activity took place on the night of August 19^th 2019 at a shoot in the Quedgeley area.

Dopey activists broke into the enclosures to release the partridges, only for them to die in their hundreds shortly after.

Speaking to Gloucestershire Live, PC Ash Weller said the Rural Crime Team treat incidents of this kind very seriously due to the financial impact on the shoots and the number of deaths to birds that is causes.

"This recent act of sabotage has caused the death of hundreds of game birds, as well as the loss of many other birds which have escaped from their enclosures," said the rural crime officer.

"I have put extra security measures in place after visiting the site and will be working closely with the farm owners to ensure that we can help to prevent any future attacks of this kind.

"My team will aim to achieve this by conducting extra patrols during the times when attacks are most likely to happen and will utilise night vision and thermal imaging equipment."

Responding to the sad incident, Sam Carlisle, Shooting Campaigns Manager at the CA said "Yet again, the ALF and their warped criminal associates have shown themselves to be mindless killers. The notion that they care about animals is laughable. They are driven by hatred of people and nothing more."

This isn't the first time that the ALF have killed animals in the name of 'liberation'. Violent thugs in Kent ended up killing 'thousands of pheasant chicks' in July.

The Countryside Alliance is committed to protecting the rural way of life from hardened criminals like the ALF. It will continue to push to include animal rights extremism in the work of the Commission for Countering Extremism.
