#1 "Fur & Fireworks" doesn't sound like a legitimate business.

#2 Jerry Vlasak, spokesman for the North American Animal Liberation Press Office, said the arson unit may refer to a branch of the Animal Liberation Front, an underground group of animal activists who promote economic sabotage.

"It has proven effective: Fur stores have closed, fur breeders have closed," Vlasak said, adding that the press office was supportive but not affiliated with the organization behind the claimed arson, the first action of its kind in Idaho.

The press office said on its website it was founded "to communicate the actions, strategies, and philosophy of the animal liberation movement to the media and the public," adding that many of those actions were illegal.

Sounds to me like "aiding and abetting".
Maybe Jerry should do some time in PMITA federal prison?

#3 "Fur & Fireworks" doesn't sound like a legitimate business.

It is in the mall right next to "Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms".

#4 "It has proven effective: Fur stores have closed, fur breeders have closed," Vlasak said...

Reason it works so well, maybe? Insurance companies excluding cover for Acts of Terrorism; hard to get to work when your Range Rover is a burning wreck on the driveway, and your chosen profession is a target of, er, yes, terrorists

(A bit old, but interesting to see the way things were drifting then, and that the ALF was even in those days being equated with Middle East/North African "political groups"). More so now.

#5 I think the fur shop owners hunting Vlasak and making a wig of his scalp would be effective too.

#6 Besides which fur is organic... unlike the polyester down coats that will still pollute the earth 20,000 years from that one sees these animal lib idiots wearing.

#7 If the gov't were behind this as a means to scare the population into rejecting animal pelts, could this arson exercise be called: "Flames and Furious?"
