The employee has been fired.

To insinuate that animal right's activists could have possibly been responsible is absurd. I know it would have made a better story if animal right's activists were involved. However, that is not the case.
I guess it's a matter of perspective... I did say 'may or may not'. He's had death threats directed at him and his wife. It's absurd to think there are people out there, besides the likely disgruntled employee, that would like to hurt the Joneses or things they care about? I don't think so.
