An self-identified member of the violent activist group Animal Liberation Front has claimed responsibility for the fire that gutted The Sheepskin Factory store on Colorado Boulevard in Glendale earlier this year.
Glendale Police Chief Victor Ross told CBS4 that the post was “a very serious lead” into the arson fire that burned the store on April 30.
The website for the activists magazine Bite Back posted a comment from a man called “ALF Lone Wolf,” who also claimed responsibility for an attack at a leather store in Salt Lake City on May 31.
“The arson at the Sheepskin Factory in Denver was done in defense and retaliation for all the innocent animals that have died cruelly at the hands of human oppressors,” the post stated. “Be warned that making a living from the use and abuse of animals will not be tolerated. Also be warned that leather is every bit as evil as fur. As demonstrated in my recent arson against the Leather Factory in Salt Lake City. Go vegan!”
Anyone with information can call 303-639-4328. A $10,000 reward is being offered.
