These guys brag about their exploits and once caught they proclaim their innocence. Who are the ALF pin-head to decide that I shouldn't be able to wear sheep skin or eat a lamb chop.

http://cbs4denver.com/news/sheepskin.factory.alf.2.1753886.htmlAuthorities are investigating whether a fire at
The Sheepskin Factory in Glendale is tied to an
animal rights group
The fire gutted the business causing $500,000 in
damage in late April. The building was located
along Colorado Boulevard. It didn't take long for
investigators to label this arson, but now, more
than a month after the blaze, a claim of
responsibility came from someone calling himself
ALF Lone Wolf.
"Š was done in defense and retaliation for all
the innocent animals that have died cruelly at
the hands of human oppressors," ALF Lone Wolf
posted on a website called Bite Back, which is
aligned with the Animal Liberation Front (ALF).
"They're already blaming themselves," Israel
Dominguez with The Sheepskin Factory said.
The store is now operating in temporary quarters.
Dominguez strongly denied the business is
involved in cruelty to animals.
"They're grown, they're fed, they're well taken
care of. I think they are eventually going to die
for edible reasons," Dominguez said.
The posting was the latest in a long string of
actions listed involving attacks against
businesses around the world.
Police are taking the claim of responsibility very seriously.
"I consider it to be a very solid lead that we
are going to follow up very closely; probably one
of our more serious leads in the case thus far,"
Glendale Police Chief Victor Ross said.
The person they believe was responsible was
caught on a security camera just before the fire
broke out and now the Animal Liberation Front
claims it was involved.
"From the beginning that's kind of our initial
thoughts of who was responsible for this," said
Helena Livaditis, the owner's daughter.
ALF is aligned with the Earth Liberation Front
(ELF) whose members were convicted in the 1998
Vail lodge arson.
