“On 16/03/2019 we destroyed the entire facade of the 3rd Hunting Club of Athens at 19 Ephesou Street in Kaisariani. It was the minimal form of reaction to the violence that is practiced daily against non-human animals.
Hunting is one of the many authoritarian practices that are reproduced within the speciesist culture of domination. This culture is also legally sanctioned by the state and its institutions, expressing its punitive attitude towards those who actively resist it. A typical example is the incident in Evia in which a couple did the obvious by preventing a hunter from killing animals, resulting in their prosecution.
The relationship between the state and speciesism was also illustrated by the vote against the recently proposed constitutionalisation regarding the protection of animals. The influence of the hunting associations on the state institutions played a decisive role in this. Of course, we have no illusions on our part. The state will not provide us with a solution to the problem of speciesism. It will be given to us by self-organized direct actions.PS: We are looking forward to more joyful news of the type “Tragic end for a hunter” or “SHOCK! Hunter shot hunter”. As for the rest, they will be taken care of by the big powerful one.
Big Powerful Hammerheads.”
