Animal-rights activist pleads guilty to violating a court order
Posted on Mon, May. 17, 2010
http://www.kansascity.com/2010/05/17/1952068/animal-rights-activist-pleads.html Jason Miller, a Lenexa animal-rights activist, pleaded guilty today to
violating a protection-from-stalking order and was placed on a year’s
probation.
Miller organized several demonstrations against the efforts of the
Johnson County Park and Recreation District to shoot more than 300
deer in Shawnee Mission Park.
Michael Meadors, the district’s director, filed a petition Oct. 30 for
the protection order.
In that complaint, Meadors stated that Miller’s web site —
BiteclubKC.com — advocated violence in certain circumstances to end
the violence against animals.
“He has sent a severed deer head to me at my work in a basket,” Meadors wrote.
In other demonstrations, Miller poured cow’s blood over his head and
attempted to block the park entrance.
A Johnson County judge issued the protective order Nov. 18 in which
Miller was prohibited from having direct or indirect contact with
Meadors or the members of the district’s board.
On Feb. 13, Miller sent an e-mail to the park district that violated that order.
Johnson County District Court Judge Thomas Bornholdt asked Miller if
he had anything to say before sentencing.
“My actions were taken in defense of the defenseless deer in Shawnee
Mission Park,” Miller told the judge.
As a condition of his probation, Miller cannot have any direct or
indirect contact with Meadors, the park district board and 11 other
members of the park district staff.
