A vehicle was firebombed outside the home of a university researcher on Saturday, prompting Chancellor Gene Block to issue a statement condemning the attackers.
There were no reports of injuries, said Phil Hampton, a university spokesman.
Animal rights activists claimed responsibility for the firebomb in a statement released through the North American Animal Liberation Press Office, which speaks on the behalf of the activists.
They threatened in the statement to continue to harass the targeted researcher – whose name was not released because of the ongoing investigation - until he stops his research.
Block responded to the threats on Monday.
“The actions of extremists who use violent and illegal tactics are utterly reprehensible and beyond contempt,” he said in his statement.
He added that university police would “continue to work with the FBI and other law enforcement agencies to bring to justice those responsible for such unconscionable acts.”
As a result of the attack, a security presence has been placed at the researcher’s home, Hampton said.

Under the current administration, these are "good" domestic terrorists, so they will be allowed to continue.
I would think other climate extremists would have to be against animal rights activists burning things, thereby increasing ‘global warming’ (even tho it’s fake).
This administration never cared about science anyway. They only care about killing innocents.
More domestic terrorist again...
Can’t wait for some of these “domestic terrorists” to get some on the spot domestic retribution.
They should be arrested anyways, for conspiring with terrorists. They are just as guilty as the ones who did it if they are passing on their demands- speaking on their behalf. It was part of the plan obviously, therefore, they are guilty. If I was that Doc, I'd be waiting in the shadows near my shiny new car with a shotgun full of slugs.
Ooh, oooooh! You mean he actually... issued a statement? And it was actually condemning the attackers?
