Long Island, NY - In an anonymous Communique release jointly by the Animal
Liberation Front and the Earth Liberation Front, the two groups are taking
credit for attacks on five Bank of New York buildings on Long Island early
this morning. The underground activists claim to have glued locks and ATM
machines, spray painted slogans on all the branches, and smashed over 25
windows at BNY office in Farmingdale.
The actions are part of a larger campaign to encourage BNY to divest
themselves of association with Huntington Life Sciences (HLS), a massive
animal testing company based in Europe. Activists have previously targeted
other corporations with association to HLS including Stephens Inc., a
private investment firm which recently bailed out the besieged HLS, and
Primate Products which supplies HLS with animals and testing equipment.
More information about the Animal and Earth Liberation Fronts is available
from the ALF Press Office. More information on the campaign against the
Bank of New York is available at www.bankofnykills.com; more information
on the campaign against HLS is available at www.shacusa.net. The text of
the Communique which contains details of the actions and damage follows:
To whom it may concern,
During the early morning hours of June 13th members of the Animal and
Earth Liberation Fronts attacked various Bank of New York branches and
offices in efforts that massive economic damages will dissuade them from
further management of American Depository Receipts belonging to Huntingdon
Life Sciences. HLS is responsible for the deaths of over 500 animals daily
and hundreds of thousands annually. These animals are murdered in crude
attempts for pesticide and pharmaceutical corporations to pursue avenues
to legalize their products. Monsanto and other earth destroyers use HLS'
fraudulent practices to place potentially lethal and environmentally
hazardous chemicals on the public market.
This is a message to the general public. HLS does not care about the
health of people, does not care about the preservation of wild lands and
life, and brutalizes, probes, tortures, and murders thousands of lonely,
frightened and beautiful creatures.
The Earth will be Revered; We will deliver!
These Animals Need Love; We will deliver!
HLS must close; and We will deliver!
The following attacks were made on June 13th:
1. Bank of New York, Huntington, Long Island Branch - Had locks glued and
the slogans "BNY Invests in Murder", "Investors in Murder", and "ALF"
spray painted.
2. Bank of New York, Kings Park, Long Island Branch - Was spray painted
with the slogans "Bank of NY Kills Puppies" and "ALF".
3. Bank of New York, Commack, Long Island Branch - Exterior ATM machine
damaged by glue and plastic strips in card slot and glue in keypad. On
the building's side wall the slogans "Investors in Murder", and "Stop the
Torture" were spray painted in bold letters.
4. Bank of New York, Babylon, Long Island Branch - Two exterior ATM
machines were damaged by glue and plastic strips in card slot and glue in
keypad. On the bank's main building various slogans were spray painted.
5. Bank of New York, Suffolk County Office Building, Farmingdale, Long
Island - Over 25 windows were smashed out and the slogans "ALF" and "ELF"
were spray painted behind as a warning that these actions were not random
vandalism, they were planned and calculated.
Unless BNY stops trade in HLS' American Depository Receipts, they can look
forward to many more nights of broken glass.
These action were dedicated to the 130 thousand animals who will perish
this year for HLS' greed, and dedicated to Jeffrey "Free" Luers, an
outspoken forest preservation activist, and green anarchist who was just
recently incarcerated.
Love, Life, Action
