In over 30 years of Animal Liberation Front raids, there have been fewer than 40 arrests for nearly 1,500 actions.<\/p>\n<p>That doesn\u2019t mean the FBI doesn\u2019t try. Two weeks ago, the FBI raided a home in San Diego seeking evidence in the Colorado action. I am posting the warrant below, as well as the warrant to search a vehicle in the Bay Area.<\/p>\n<p>A few notes about the warrants:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There are two warrants: The first for a home in San Diego. The second for a vehicle and \u201ctracker warrant\u201d in San Diego. Presumably the \u201ctracker warrant\u201d refers to placing a tracking device on the vehicle.<\/li>\n<li>They specifically seek evidence for charges of Animal Enterprise Terrorism.<\/li>\n<li>While seemingly focused on the Craig, Colorado mink farm raid, they seek evidence in any crimes committed between \u201cJuly and November 2013.\u201d This was a period that saw 10 mink releases nationwide.<\/li>\n<li>They call for seizure of a laundry list of items from the Animal Liberation Front\u2019s toolbox, including wire-cutters, bolt-cutters, and gloves. It also calls for literature related to fur farms and addresses of companies that use animals.<\/li>\n<li>The second warrant indicates there were items stolen from the property of the mink farm in Colorado, primarily guns. Not only would burglary of a home be far outside the range of standard Animal Liberation Front protocol, fur farmers are also frequently suspected of padding loss claims after ALF raids (presumably for insurance reasons).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Download a PDF of the warrant <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scribd.com\/doc\/196106943\/FBI-search-warrant-investigating-Colorado-mink-farm-raid\">here<\/a>, or view below.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2629\" style=\"width: 218px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/animalliberationpressoffice.org\/NAALPO\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/2014-01-07_searchwarrant.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2629\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2629\" alt=\"FBI search warrant investigating Colorado mink farm raid\" src=\"https:\/\/animalliberationpressoffice.org\/NAALPO\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/2014-01-07_searchwarrant-218x300.jpg\" width=\"218\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/animalliberationpressoffice.org\/NAALPO\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/2014-01-07_searchwarrant-218x300.jpg 218w, https:\/\/animalliberationpressoffice.org\/NAALPO\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/2014-01-07_searchwarrant-745x1024.jpg 745w, https:\/\/animalliberationpressoffice.org\/NAALPO\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/2014-01-07_searchwarrant.jpg 904w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 218px) 100vw, 218px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2629\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">FBI search warrant investigating Colorado mink farm raid<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When anonymous activists shut down a Colorado mink farm last month, it was no surprise that no one was caught.
