Animal activist
claims responsibility for arson fires
Animal Liberation Front "Lone
Wolf" Strikes Again at the Heart of Animal Abuse
SANDY, UT (ABC 4
NEWS) - The fire at the Tiburon restaurant was small but enough to shut the
place down. "We don't know if they forced their way in or found an unlocked
door," said Sandy Police Sergent Troy Arnold.
Overnight, ABC 4 News
received this e-mail....It said, "The ALF (animal liberation front) is
watching and there is nowhere to hide. The arson at the Tiburon restaurant
in Sandy Utah was done because of there (sic) sale of Foie Gras (young duck)
and other 'wild game'. Animals exist for there (sic) own purposes, not human
ends. Go Vegan! ALF Lonewolf."
A spokesperson for ALF says the
menu is a big problem with activists, "This is not a delicacy. It's nothing
more than animal cruelty and animal abuse served on a plate."
ABC 4
News took the e-mail to Sandy Police, "Anytime we have a fire, particularly
something that might be an arson and someone actually claims responsibility
for it, it's concerning for the police department. We're going to take this
information you brought to us seriously," said Sgt. Arnold.
Detectives took down clues that may lead to the identity of the so-called "Lonewolf".
It's the third time Lonewolf has surfaced following a fire. The Tandy
Leather Store in Salt Lake City and a Denver sheepskin shop were fires in
which Lonewolf claimed it was done to save animals.
"Activists
feel like they're in a position where their voices can't be heard, and as
long as their voices can't be heard people will find other ways to get the
message across," says spokesperson for ALF.
