Animal rights activists claim McDonalds firebomb responsibility ( Sweden )

The Animal Liberation Front has claimed responsibility for Friday's fire attack at a hamburger restaurant in Gothenburg...

In a posting on the animal rights activists website Bite Back Magazine, those allegedly responsible described how they smashed two windows with hammers at the burger restaurant at the Scandinavium Center, poured ten liters of petrol in and set it alight.

The posting continued, “We were in a hurry as the sun had risen and it was light outside, so we threw the containers with written ALF-messages on them and some lighted matches into the restaurant and it went up in a big fire instantly. Burn in hell animal killers and capitalists!”

...

On the Bite Back website activists also claimed responsibility for other attacks in Sweden

McDonalds tends to buy from only reputable slaughterhouses which use the most modern practices. If humans could live on sunshine without the death of plants and animals it would be wonderful but that is not how the world works. Maybe that is how it works in heaven but that I do not know. It always surprises me that people claiming to love animals and support their rights have the least understanding of nature.

I’d like to know who is funding the animal liberation groups.

We know the Saudis are funding the environmentalists, to create a demand for Middle Eastern oil at the expense of other supplies, but I don’t think it’s been made clear who is ultimately behind animal rights and how they benefitzm

They love the Creation and hate the Creator. Gaia worshipers.

"Burn in hell animal killers and capitalists!"

I wonder if the ALFies even know that animals are killed in non-capitalist countries, too.

More likely, they're just revealing that their true agenda has nothing to do with saving animals.

Communist leaders and useful idiot pawns.

The purpose is to destroy human rights granted by God. If an animal has rights, the state gets to decide if they are superior or inferior in their conflict with human rights. If the state decides the animal rights are superior, then the state has rescinded a human right granted by God.

Convenient, no?

If there is no such thing as animal rights, there is no conflict, the state is not needed to decide,.....the state is not needed to decide.

There could be some of that, but I think there’s something else.

“I’d like to know who is funding the animal liberation groups.”

Maybe we should investigate Big Soy!
