Activist group says it broke into Iowa fox farm

ANAMOSA — An animal rights activist group admitted to breaking into an eastern Iowa fox fur farm and trying to free about 30 foxes.

The group, Animal Liberation Front, said in a written release sent to news organizations that it had released 30 foxes from an Anamosa farm that raises foxes for fur. But the owner of the farm said Saturday the group had only managed to destroy property, including stripping away much of the farm’s fencing.
