Labor Day Liberation: 750 Ducks Released
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
North American Animal Liberation Front Press Office
Hanover, IL - In an anonymous communique, the Animal Liberation Front claimed
responsibility for the liberation and release of 750 ducks and an unknown
number of ducklings from Whistling Wings, a duck breeding facility in
Hanover, Illinois early this morning. Located at 113 Washington St. (815-591-3512),
Whistling Wings is one of the largest duck breeding facilities in the U.S.
They breed and ship ducks and ducklings to hunting and game farms,
taxidermists, and research facilities across the world.
The A.L.F. activists "opened all of the cages and barn doors for the ducks to
escape to freedom," states the letter received by the A.L.F. Press Office.
The Animal Liberation Front believes that ducks and all waterbirds and
animals have an inherent right to live their lives free from pain, suffering and
torture. The ducks bred at Whistling Wings are destined for a short life of
suffering and death when they are sent to hunters, taxidermists, and
vivisectors.
Earlier this year, on April 28, the A.L.F. rescued over 230 ducklings from
the Cornell University Duck Laboratory in Eastport, NY. In that action the A.L.F.
physically removed all the animals and brought them to a sanctuary. It is
unclear at this time whether there are any connections between Whistling
Wings and the Cornell Lab.
The Animal Liberation Front is an international underground movement of
compassionate people who work anonymously to rescue animals from places of
abuse, and to cause financial damage to animal abuse industries through a
strategy of non-violent property destruction. In the twenty years of A.L.F.
actions there has never been any injury or death caused to any animal or
human in the course of their actions.
The A.L.F. Press Office is an independent above-ground organization which
supports the A.L.F. by communicating with the media regarding actions and
history of the movement. Further information is available at the number
below.
The following is the text of the Communique:
In the early morning hours of September 3rd, 750 ducks and a countless number
of ducklings were liberated from Whistling Wings (www.whistlingwings.com) in
Hanover, Illinois, the largest "producer" of live Mallard Ducks. They are a
supplier for hunters and researchers whose methods of shipping baby ducks
include UPS and the United States Postal Service.
We cut holes in the fences, opened all of the cages and barn doors for the
ducks to escape to freedom. It is our hope that they will find a new
satisfying life on the nearby Mississippi River.
A.L.F.
