Animal rights group claims responsibility for Harris Ranch fire
A fire that damaged or destroyed 14 Harris Ranch tractors and several trailer rigs was apparently the work of an animal rights group, reports CBS News. In an email released to the public on Monday, the North American Animal Liberation Press Office announced that an anonymous animal rights group was responsible for the fires.
The statement included a detailed description of the containers of accelerant and kerosene-soaked rope activists claim they placed beneath trucks and ignited by remote control using digital timers to set the fire. The email said the 14 trucks were set ablaze deliberately to protest the "horrors and injustices of factory farming."
