for the animals

We saved 48 hens from suffering, crying and waiting for death. We saved them from a place made for trader’s profit that politicians protect and consumers pay for. We did not ask any of them. Why should we???

We’ve climbed the fence, opened the door and took the hens out of that place.

Now they are in new homes with people who make the world a better place for them. Now they can spread their wings and run free. They have sun instead of artificial light. Fresh air instead of a fan. Weaker ones can hide from the stronger ones.

It is not normal that animals are kept in such conditions and for such purposes. It is normal that we do not leave them there.

We had to divide this rescue into two actions.

Girls from Institut úzkosti (Institute of Anxious) found new homes for twenty hens. So we went to take them. When I was taking the eleventh hen, our rescue guard was informing us, that the security guard at this area, begun his walk. We took the twelfth hen, locked the metal door of this hall, and climbed the fence to field, where we were waiting until the security is gone.

We were here few days ago. We saw a motherfucker in overall screaming ať the sows and we saw that same motherfucker throwing squaling piglet into a friend`s car trunk and his friend leaving with him as fast as he could. We saw sows waiting for their first birth and sows laying in cages with piglets running around. We saw dead little rearing pig being nibbled by others and then we realized that he’s not dead because he raised his head and look at them.

We rescued 4 hens. They will not die in a cage or a slaughterhouse. We took them to kind people to their new homes. Now they can spread their wings and run free. They have sun insted of artificial light. Fresh air instead of a fan. Weaker ones can hide from the stronger ones.

We smell terrible stench for a long time before we arrive at the spot. We scrape through by hole in the fence and continue towards the nearest building. When we open the doors the stench and heady air almost strike us across the face.

We are coming in and fall through and glide on something what should be a litter but its only a film from faeces and straw. This is the only living space for these water birds!

We rescued 12 hens. They will not die in a cage or a slaughterhouse. We took them to kind people to their new homes. Now they can spread their wings and run free. They have sun insted of artificial light. Fresh air instead of a fan. Weaker ones can hide from the stronger ones.

We rescued 8 hens. They will not die in the cage or in the slaughterhouse. We took them to their new homes. To kind people who caress them and will never hurt them. To those people who let them run in the grass, rake them, let them dust bath, warm up in the sun, swirl the snow with their wings.

Wet, dirty bedding and stench around the whole facility. The birds are screaming and are just as dirty and smelly as their living space. I hear Lukáš say that it is disgusting. I take out the camera to make few pictures and I look around that huge shed. It is brimming with unhappiness. So many animals have only this and then onto the slaughterhouse. And we have a home only for two of them.

Dead duck, another over there, one lying on her back breathing heavily, another one nearby.

Lukáš is opening the bag, I am catching ducks and putting them in. We close, leave and we will be back.

Plague and cholera to those who keep on feeding this. And not to forget, Merry Christmas.

A rabbit mom gives birth eight times every year. She does not want to but she has to. Each time there will be 7-10 little rabbits. After 78-82 days they are declared mature nough for the slaughter and they will be killed.

We took one mom and her ten kids from such a place. We drove them to the safety. To people who won´t kill them.

Thanks to those who offered their homes.

We rescued 25 hens. They will not die in the cage nor in the slaughterhouse. We took them to the transfer place and from there to their new homes.

Rain and mud. I dropped Lukas and our anonymous friend close to poultry farm and I drove on to park at suitable place which was about three kilometers from there. After that I went to them.

The anonymous friend stayed out as a guard and we went for the hens. What could I writte? Over and over, still the same.

We were here three weeks ago. The shed we got in the last time was empty. We weren‘t able to enter the next one. At first there were problems with the opening, then we retreated because of a guards visitor and then again when he went for his rounds. We are back today but there is only few of us.

My friend told me that she lives in a flat with a huge terrace and that she could give a home to a duck or a chicken as her flatmate. So we went out for one chick.

It was a clear night. We slowly waded through the wet grass to the grounds. In twenty halls there were tens of thousands of imprisoned birds.

During Easter we went for a couple of plucked hens. One anonymous girlfriend layed down in the grass nearby gatehouse of the poultry house and patrolled the guard. I went with Lukas to the grounds. There was several dead hens in front of one hall. Lukas stayed outside the hall and I went in. There was only silence and vacuity. All hens were taken to the slaughterhouse because of holidays. We were late by two or three days.

It’ raining, we are cold and tired. We can’t contact one of the patrols. There is only a noise heard from the radio transmitter. We have lost nearly half an hour by solving this situation.

Once everything’s all right and all patrols are contacted, me and Lukáš Krása climb the fence and go to one of the halls. We go fast, but calmly.
