Cause of Colorado Horse Research Lab Fire Ruled “Undetermined”
Damages at Colorado State University Equine Research lab estimated at $12 million, cause is “undetermined”.
As reported on Animal Liberation Frontline over the summer, a mysterious fire broke out overnight on July 26th at one of the country’s premier horse genetics labs in Colorado, completely destroying the facility. The “Equine Reproduction Laboratory” at Colorado State University did research to benefit the horse racing and horse breeding industries.
While investigators usually release the cause of the fire within days, there was no word on a cause of the CSU fire for six months. Finally, this month investigators announced the cause of the fire has been ruled “undetermined”.
There is no indication of an animal liberation motive behind the fire. However the fire broke out overnight, and the significance of the lab would make it a strategic target.
175 horse breeders stored sometimes priceless and irreplaceable genetic material at the lab. One breeder estimated the genetic material she had stored at the lab was worth $200,000, and said – “That’s nothing compared to what others have in there.”
The university has announced they will rebuild an even larger lab at the same location.

Burn them too HELL!!Great !!!
Karma is everywhere!
Dear Animalliberationfrontline,
Thanks for your thoughts, It used to be thought that lactic acid (sometimes called lactate) was a waste product that built up in horses’ muscles, causing pain. New research has shown that this is not the case. Lactic acid is in fact a fuel, a source of energy. It is used as a fuel by mitochondria, the energy factories in muscle cells.
Thanks
As you have done, let it be done unto thee,
Such is the law of reciprocity.
Hell hath no fury like the boomerang of karma.
