"Madison, Wisconsin, U.S. - Unrepentant animal-liberationist Peter Young was sentenced to two years in federal prison for freeing approximately 8,000 mink from Midwestern fur farms in 1997. He was also ordered pay $254,840 in restitution to the farmers, but has vowed not to pay them a cent. In court he taunted farmers present by stating 'It was an absolute pleasure to have visited your farms ... and I wish I could have put more of you in bankruptcy.' A raid Peter participated in forced at least one South Dakota mink rancher to go out of business and cost the others thousands of dollars in lost profits and new security systems."
