Animal rights activists take credit for burning of Harris Ranch cattle trucks January 10, 2012 \| Jim Guy fresnobee.com 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.
