Hundreds of mink released from Pennsylvania fur farm
Animal Liberation Front takes credit for opening “hundreds’ of cages in Pennsylvania.
In the sixth fur farm raid in two months, the Animal Liberation front has taken credit for releasing hundreds of mink from the farm owned by George Rykola in Ebensburg, Pennsylvania.
This is the first fur farm raid in Pennsylvania since 2002.

Breeding records destroyed
The communique (posted below) confirms the Animal Liberation Front once again targeted breeding records as well as releasing animals, destroying “hundreds” of breeding cards.
This is one trend of note: recent raids have indicated the ALF is becoming more consistent about destroying breeding records, a move which can devalue a farm’s most valuable asset (its breeding stock) and inflict a devastating financial blow.
The ALF delivers a message to all activists
In ALF communiques going back decades, one message has been repeated consistently: There is no special skills or tools required to save animals from captivity and death, just a willingness to help them that supersedes fear.
In the latest communique, the Animal Liberation Front stated:
We want to reiterate, as several recent ALF communiques have, the ease of animal liberation. We possess no specialized skill set or expensive tools. A sense of determination and a desire for justice go a long way.
The siege continues
With six raids in two months, the Animal Liberation Front continues its fur farm campaign with the most intense energy seen since 1998.
The communique
“Last night, the Animal Liberation Front opened hundreds of cages at the Rykola mink farm located at 557 Colver Road in Ebensburg, Pennsylvania.
We lost count of the number of wild animals freed into their natural environment, due to the animals being housed in atrocious conditions, four to tiny cob-webbed cages. Words can not describe the filth and blinding stench of this farm.
As expected, the animals wasted no time escaping from their barren prisons into the natural world.
In addition to opening cages, we destroyed hundreds of breeding cards, many with notations of price, which ran from $1,000 up to $10,000 per animal.
We want to reiterate, as several recent ALF communiques have, the ease of animal liberation. We possess no specialized skill set or expensive tools. A sense of determination and a desire for justice go a long way.
Pelting season is just weeks away. Look up The Final Nail and find a farm near you. Let the final stage of Operation Bite Back commence. We can destroy this industry that has destroyed so many.”
Great news keep up the good work fantastic!
great stuff folks, but what of the released mink causing havoc in the immediate area ?
Surely, a release plan of some kind to different natural areas should be in place instead of a mass release in one area !!
Otherwise, keep up the good work .

Freed from a life of torture and hell.
I luv this! Thanks for not being afraid to do what is right. Fur is murder and it should be illegal!
Good job, keep it up. Wish I could be there with you!!
Hmmm releasing these mink in such numbers is downright idiotic.
That’s detrimental to the local wildlife, local farmers, small pets, fish and birds in the area, but fantastic for your coyote problem! 🙂 all these captive bred mink won’t know what a predator is.
When the few who do manage to survive by the grace of god himself come to my chicken coops and kill my pets I’ll know who to blame, then get the snares ready. There’s a better way than doing it this way, you have no consideration for local pet owners and local farmers just trying to live in peace with their poultry and rabbits too.
Dick move guys, and rude for you to destroy a company too.
