Mysterious Fire Destroys University Horse Research Lab
Unexplained fire at Colorado State University completely destroys laboratory
At 1am on July 26th, a fire was reported at the “Equine Reproduction Laboratory”, with 20-foot tall flames engulfing the building. The fire completely destroyed the facility, and damages are estimated at $9 million. The lab was described as a “total loss”.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation. The FBI has joined local investigators in trying to determine if the fire was deliberately set. As of this writing, neither the Animal Liberation Front nor other clandestine animal liberation group has claimed responsibility.
The lab is considered one of the country’s leading horse reproduction research labs, performing work to benefit the horse racing and horse breeding industries. The lab is described as “world-renown for its ground-breaking research.”

This lab would be a legitimate ALF target. I will post all updates on this as yet unexplained fire as I received them.

WOW, Pyromania, shock!
Like the old saying goes, ARSON ROCKS!
I guess that’s what happens when breeding mares are abstaining from smoking “Camels” or “Black Cats”…gotta sneak a smoke every so often. Damn huh?
were there any horses inside the lab.
9 to 12 million in damages….Awesome!!
So how many horses were killed? And what cruel experiments did the lab participate in? I am a horse owner and this sort if research is necessary as long as it is preformed humanely, improving the breeding helps horses However I don’t support the racing industry. This article needs more details about the actual experiments and what made it a ‘legitimate target for the ALF.’
To Pauline: Exhaustive experience shows that when live animals are involved in ANY type of research, chances are poor to zero that the research is being “preformed humanely” [sic].
go for it ALF..
good job !
love & respect the ALF <3
