Animal rights activists are behind the burning of cattle trucks at the Harris Ranch truck lot early Sunday, according to a statement from the purported arsonists.
The statement, released Monday, describes how the fire, which heavily damaged 14 tractors and several trailers, was set and says the attack was aimed at "the horrors of factory farming."
Spokeswoman Nicoal R. Sheen of the Animal Liberation Press Office, which released the statement, said the office doesn't take part in illegal actions but distributes communiqués from those who do.
Fresno County sheriff's spokesman Chris Curtice said detectives are looking into the claim. He would not comment further except to say "that was one of the directions they were looking into anyway."
The fire started just before 4 a.m. in the truck storage area at Highway 145 and Interstate 5. Several tractor-trailer rigs were engulfed in flames when deputies and Cal Fire personnel arrived. It took about 45 minutes to put out the blaze.
The cost of the damage has not been released.
Harris Farms is one of the nation's largest family-owned agribusinesses. It is California's largest cattle feeder, beef processor and beef marketer.

Subpoena ALL emails, phone records, and files of the Organization, and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. 100’s of thousands of dollars of damage should fall right in the laps of the nutcases who are anyway involved.
I wonder if the DHS will treat this as the obvious terrorist attack that it was; will the military be picking up the PITA freaks and detaining them without trial?
Spokeswoman Nicoal R. Sheen of the Animal Liberation Press Office, which released the statement, said the office doesn’t take part in illegal actions but distributes communiqués from those who do.
Guilty as the rest.
I wonder if this flunky, Nicoal R. Sheen is taking flunky Dr. Jerry Vlasak’s place as spokesperson for these criminals?
They are Terroists plain and simple.
Yep. Time to raid the offices and take all the records. I’m sue it is a treasure trove of criminal activity.
The FBI considers this terrorism and have ongoing investigations, lets hope they nail these turkeys.
Harris Ranch packs out some mighty fine beef.
I say we load up all these ba***ards into some semis then set them on fire.
See my post #8.
Yes they do and it’s a large operation. I’m surprised they don’t have security that would prevent this type thing.
“lets hope they nail these turkeys.”
Hey! That’s CRUEL!;)
Its got to be in the billions, not thousands.
I can hear their screams... Where’s John Edwards when you need him...
They will soon.
Barry has to go in November! It's time to get with the program!
Eating his veggie salad at some fern and fan eatery no doubt.
