Animal Liberation Front Sabotages San Diego Fur Store, Homes
FBI investigates coordinated attack on San Diego’s only fur store and the home of its owners.
This week the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) took credit for a sabotage action against Furs by Graf, in San Diego. The front of the store was redecorated with spray-painted messages including “Killer” and “Murderer,” and glass-etching fluid was used to damage windows.
The same night, the homes of owner Kimberley Graf and her parents were also targeted.
The owner stated to the media the fur store has been vandalized about a dozen times over the years but this is the first time her home was targeted.
The Animal Liberation Front took credit this week in an anonymous communique. The communique reads, in full:
“In the early morning hours of July 16, 2013, anarchists in San Diego took action on behalf of the millions of fur-bearing animals who are trapped, enslaved, and killed to sustain the global fur industry
We first visited Furs By Graf at 7670 Claremont Mesa Boulevard in the Claremont neighborhood. Every single piece of plate glass on this hideous enterprise was soaked in glass etching solution. The exterior of the store was covered in red spray painted slogans. Bottles of foul smelling butyric acid were sprayed into the interior, leaving this place of commerce smelling like death; identical to the odor present on every fur farm. We hope this is a costly clean up, and serves to drive away all patronage.
We then hiked to owner Ludi Graf’s home, at 9589 Upland Street in Spring Valley. His home was given the same treatment. We paint stripped his luxury winnebago parked in the driveway. Slogans were painted in blood red on his garage and the winnebago. The windows of the winnebago were etched. The remainder of the etching solution was applied to the windows of his home. Concrete destroying muriatic acid was poured on his driveway.
It was another short hike to manager Kimberley Graf’s home at 3674 Birdie Drive in La Mesa. Her luxury pickup truck was painted red and soaked in paint stripper. All windshields and windows on the truck were smeared with etching solution. We covered her house and driveway in spray paint. Muriatic acid was dumped on the porch.
These actions were taken to vocalize the cries of the millions of wild beings yearning for freedom. This is in vain unless it inspires others to liberate and sabotage. Every fur farm prisoner deserves a jail break.
In solidarity with our comrades fighting in Vancouver,
Animal Liberation Front”
LOVE YOU GUYS FOREVER. KEEP DOING A GREAT JOB. PEOPLE ARE GREEDY SAVAGES. ONE IN MILLION REALIZES THAT AND SEE THE REAL, CRUEL, BLOODY WORLD.

Hola
Great job!
Bravo! Your organization is wonderful. Your actions are inspirational.Love you guys! Thank you for giving a voice to our suffering wildlife!
If we dont like it dont buy it ?
How about the animals ?
Do they have a choice. If they dont like it dont die for it ?
What kind of world do we live in where you think an innocent animals life is ok to tortue and kill. Most of the time being skinned alive but they dont have a choice but to die for you ?!That is ok ? Are you serious. You run this story like we should feel bad that they have some damage. We should feel bad that its personal. You dont think its personal for the animals losing their lives in horrific ways so you can make a buck. Just because it is legal does not make it right. These people are disgusting and I am very proud that these people did what they did and hopefully will continue.
I guarantee these cowards have never set foot on a fur farm.
Redneck, hillbilly hick pieces of trash. I hope someone skins them alive one by one by one or and they have to watch the pain and fear in their families eyes. An eye for an eye does not just apply to the human race. The animal liberation front has made me a ittle less sad to be a part of a race of people who are moral less, hurtful, cruel, selfish and lack any form of conscience ! I would do anything I can to support them.
And SHAME on the media reporting this story for making these murderers out to be the victims. I assure not a one of you has ever witnessed the torture these animals endure so you can wear fur !!!!
Thank you for everything you do for animals! Do any in AZ let me know… I’ll help 🙂
Go…go…gooooooo fratelli e sorelle! Sono con voi…..continuate così!! Siete dei Grandi (Y) <3
Love you ALF!! Thank you for all you do! My dream is that someday EVERYONE will see how truly evil and torturous the fur industry really is. I really hope that the greedy,narcissists that wear fur will see how wrong it is and quit wearing fur. But greed is deep in some people. They turn a blind eye to the suffering of animals. Thats why we need ALF!
Thanks from Colombia, quisiera tener 30 años menos…los admiro y respeto.
GRACIAS
