Peter Young's wages to be garnished under restitution order (AP)‏ Sent: July 27, 2010 5:47:33 PM Chicago Tibune U.S. seeks to garnish wages of mink activist-- Associated Press July 27, 2010 1:43 PM http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2010/07/us-seeks-to-garnish-wages-of-mink-activist.htmlProsecutors want to garnish the wages of an animal rights activist who freed mink from Midwestern fur farms and now makes money speaking about the case.U.S. Magistrate Judge Stephen Crocker in Madison, Wis. has granted their application to garnish up to 25 percent of the wages of Peter Daniel Young. The order is directed at Philadelphia-based Evil Twin Booking, which books Young to give speeches about his case. Prosecutors say Young owes $253,000 to mink farmers.
Young says he gives most of his speeches for free and has only made "if anything, a negligible amount" from them. After years on the run, Young was convicted of animal enterprise terrorism in 2005 and sentenced to two years in prison. Prosecutors said he and an accomplice broke onto mink farms in Wisconsin, South Dakota and Iowa in 1997 and freed the animals. Hope they make him pay back every red copper plus interest and other costs that the ranchers faced because of the terroprist vandals.

I think it would be a good idea for us trappers to leave some comments about why Peter Young should not be profiting for his illegal acts. Meanwhile the person who owned the mink ranch is out 235,000 dollars and Young has no intention of paying him back. We whine about how these folks are vandals & terrorists so it is time to speak up and make a point of making sure Young does pay back the money. http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2010/07/us-seeks-to-garnish-wages-of-mink-activist.html I left a comment . Hope others do because quite a few loons are trying to overload the comments and hate monger the fur industry.

About 10 years an exchange student from LSU in Singapore was disgruntled over some grades he received from his professors. To get back at them he put some graffiti on there vehicles. He was caught and sentenced to have 10 lashings with a bamboo cane. The local news station stated that he passed out 3 times due to the pain. The nice Singapore people let him become conscious before continuing. I think it is time for the US to adopt some of these "cruel and unusual punishments". By the way, Singapore has the lowest crime rate of any developed country.

Left a comment as well. Sure got a light sentence for being a terrorist in my book. Maybe they ought to be able to use him as free labor until his bill is paid in full.

Now Peter Young heaps praise upon ARA vandals & terrorists who have taken his place and are just as stupid as himself.
Voice of the Voiceless (blog) Fire & Explosions Rock Former Mink Farm by Peter Young Jul 28th, 2010
Fire and explosions tear through the twice-raided Ylipelto Mink Farm in Oregon After two successful raids, activists may have once again visited the Ylipelto Mink Farm in Oregon - this time to burn it down. In the early hours of July 27th, a boat, car, two forklifts, front-end loader, and a barn were all damaged by fire. investigators have not yet ruled it arson, but have noted the farm has been targeted by the Animal Liberation Front in the past. Owner Henry Pelto stated he awoke at 3 am to the sound of explosions, and found several pieces of equipment on fire. The owner revealed new information after the fire: after being targeted twice by activists, the Ylipelto farm shut down in December 2009. While the there may be numerous contributing factors in the closure, it may be largely or wholly credited to the A.L.F. This marks the second Oregon fur farm to apparently shut down after an A.L.F. raid. The S&N Fur Farm in Scio, Oregon was found to be empty in a summer 2009 investigation as part of the Fur Farm Intelligence Project (although there is conflicting evidence indicating the farm may still be open, or reopening in the near future). That farm was raided by the A.L.F. in September, 2008. News of the Ylipelto farm’s closure sheds doubt on police claims the fire may be the work of activists. Because a closed farm is an unlikely A.L.F. target, an insurance fraud motive should be suspected by investigators. Whoever is behind the fire, it would appear unlikely activists would target a closed mink farm, unless there was strong reason to believe the farm would reopen again in the future. The Ylipelto Mink Farm has been the site of two mink liberations in recent years. The first occurred in October 2008, where 1,500 mink were released. The raid was claimed by the “Vegan Straight Edge”. The second raid occurred October 4th, 2009, when 300 mink were released. At 1:23 AM that morning, a farmer reported to police that someone was “releasing her mink”, indicating the liberators were spotted in the act, but escaped un-arrerested. No group took credit for the raid. Astoria is the largest mink farming town in Oregon, home to five known mink farms (and another possible farm that is unconfirmed). No claim of responsibility has yet been made for the fire, and investigators have not yet ruled it arson. The A.L.F. continues to strike major blows to the Oregon fur industry, which has already seen seven fur farm raids - and now, possibly its third A.L.F. arson. - Peter Young

KATU-TV2 (Portland, OR) Fires, explosions rock property targeted by animal activists By Bob Heye KATU News and KATU.com Staff Jul 28, 2010 at 12:21 AM PDT Story Updated: Jul 28, 2010 http://www.katu.com/news/local/99446414.html SVENSEN, Ore. - Fires and explosions rocked a property east of Astoria that has been targeted in the past by animal rights activists, and investigators are looking into whether it was arson. The fires destroyed a boat and melted its fiberglass hull, and nearby, a family sedan was apparently set on fire. In a barn at the back of the property, a couple of forklifts, a small front-end loader and the building itself were also charred. The fires and explosions woke Henry Pelto from his sleep at three in the morning. “It was a huge explosion and it rattled the whole house,” Pelto said. “And it kind of rattled the whole neighborhood. And after that, there was some muffled booms and then a couple of shotgun-loud booms.” If it was vandalism it wasn’t the first time. Animal rights activists were on the property in 2008 and released minks from cages, but the irony is there are no more mink on the property. The farm’s been shut down since December. “We’ve torn up all the sheds out of here and everything so it really was senseless,” Pelto said. Investigators with the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, plus detectives from the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office combed the site for evidence but won’t say if it is an arson case or who might have set the blazes or why. Pelto said the forklifts and front-end loader may be covered by insurance, but the car and boat were not. He said he was glad he had been watering the property the night before with a spray hose and it was ready for him to pick up and use to put the fires out inside the barn.

This Peter Young guy should be behind bars again just to keep him from instigating more violence & terrorism.
Saboteurs claim responsibility for torching former mink farm near Astoria
Published: Wednesday, July 28, 2010, 6:52 PM, Updated: Wednesday, July 28, 2010, 7:12 PM
Bryan Denson, The Oregonian
Underground saboteurs claimed responsibility today for the firebombing on Tuesday of a mink farm near Astoria, the first arson attack by animal-rights activists in Oregon in years.
"We delivered eight incendiary devices to the lovely folks at Ylipeltos Fur Farm," the arsonists claimed in an anonymous communique.
"It is nice to see that the enslavement, torture, and death of thousands of innocent creatures affords certain people luxuries like boats, nice cars, and various (expensive, no doubt) farm machinery, and we were more than happy to alleviate them of these," they wrote.
The communique, published online by the North American Animal Liberation Press Office, said the arsonists simultaneously attacked the front and rear of the mink farm to leave an impression on those subjugating animals for profit.
The fires reportedly damaged a building, boat, car, two forklifts and a front-end loader at 92659 Simonsen Loop Road. But Clatsop County Sheriff Tom Bergin said the property owners had gotten rid of their mink after activists broke in and released many of their animals.
"They are an older couple, "Bergin said. "They said, 'We're tired, we're done.' There are not even any mink out there and these people come back."
Animal-rights activists broke into the mink farm and released animals in 2008 and 2009, according to Peter Young, who served two years in federal prison for a string of 1997 mink releases in the Midwest.
Young said he strongly supported Tuesday's attack, which is under investigation by the FBI and U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
"I think that people are aware that releasing mink from a farm can potentially shut farms down," he said. "But using incendiary devices can get the job done much more efficiently."
Young's underground campaign against the fur industry freed 8,000 to 12,000 of the animals in Iowa, South Dakota and Wisconsin during 1997. The activist, who grew up in the Seattle area, was wanted for seven years before his arrest.
A decade ago, Oregon became a national hub for eco-saboteurs after militant animal-rights activists and radical environmentalists joined forces. They sometimes broke into small underground "cells" to torch enterprises they accused of despoiling the natural world.
Many of their crimes were committed under the banner of the Animal Liberation Front and the Earth Liberation Front, which the FBI classifies as the nation's most prolific domestic terrorist organizations.
Their firebombings subsided in Oregon about eight years ago after crackdowns by task forces of state, local and federal investigators. Their investigations put several people behind bars and made fugitives of others.
Young said he doubted law enforcement pressure put an end to the arsons in Oregon, and he suspected that the saboteurs who carried out Tuesday's attack thought the mink farm was going to reopen.
"People who carry out these actions do their research," he said. "If the mink farm was in fact closed, the activists were almost certainly aware of that fact and chose to strike it anyway."

North Amercian Animal Liberation Press Office Fire & Explosions Rock Oregon Mink Farm Twice-raided Ylipelto Mink Farm Destroyed by Peter Young and the Press Office Jul 28th, 2010
Astoria, Oregon: In an anonymous communique received by the North American Animal Liberation Press Office, animal liberation activists have taken credit for the destruction of Ylipelto Mink Farm in Astoria, Oregon. The farm has been the target of 2 previous raids by animal liberationists; the first occurred in October 2008, when 1,500 mink were released in a raid claimed by the “Vegan Straight Edge”. The second raid occurred October 4th, 2009, when 300 mink were released; at 1:23 AM that morning, a farmer reported to police that someone was “releasing her mink”, indicating the liberators were spotted in the act, but escaped un-arrerested. No group took credit for that raid. The current communique reads, in full: "We delivered eight incendiary devices to the lovely folks at Ylipelto's Fur Farm, at 92659 Simonsen Loop Road in Astoria on the morning of July 27th. It is nice to see that the enslavement, torture, and death of thousands of innocent creatures affords certain people luxuries like boats, nice cars, and various (expensive, no doubt) "farm machinery, and we were more than happy to alleviate them of these. A careful attack sent structures up in flame both in the front and rear of the property, simultaneously. We hope that this can leave an impression on our friends, Veikko & Eeva, that making such a living off of the subjugation of sentient creatures (for something as selfish and disgusting as the fashion industry, no less) will not be tolerated. We hope that others like them will also consider where their priorities lie (the nearby Wilkinson & Stunkard farms, to name a couple), and decide whether or not they'd like to be next. --Don't think that you've be given a choice; your actions serve as your voice." Owner Henry Pelto stated he awoke at 3 am to the sound of explosions, and found several pieces of equipment on fire. The owner revealed new information after the fire: after being targeted twice by activists, the Ylipelto farm shut down in December 2009. This marks the second Oregon fur farm to apparently shut down after an animal liberationist raid. The S&N Fur Farm in Scio, Oregon was found to be empty in a summer 2009 investigation as part of the Fur Farm Intelligence Project (although there is conflicting evidence indicating the farm may still be open, or reopening in the near future). That farm was raided by the A.L.F. in September, 2008. Astoria is the largest mink farming town in Oregon, home to five known mink farms (and another possible farm that is unconfirmed ). Imprisoned in cages for life, fur-bearing animals are forced to endure intensive confinement, compared to the miles of territory these animals would enjoy in the wild - their natural state. The natural instincts of these captive animals are completely frustrated; self-mutilation, sickness, infection, poor sanitation and the sheer stress of confinement lead animals to premature death. When they survive, animals of sufficient size are killed by anal electrocution or gassing, then skinned. Whereas reports from the fur industry have surfaced that liberations were harmful to the animals, the Animal Liberation Front (ALF) and other organizations have a long history of successfully releasing animals into the wild. In addition to liberating the wild animals destined for a certain, painful and agonizing death, another goal of liberationists is to cause economic damage to fur farms; dozens of fur farming operations have seen economic ruin since "Operation Bite Back" began by the ALF in the 1990s.

FUR COMMISSION USA PRESS RELEASE, JULY 28, 2010 http://www.furcommission.com/news/newsF12c.htmAstoria, Oregon: Incendiaries Used Against Former Mink Farm At about 2:30 in the morning of Tuesday, July 27, a series of explosions echoed through the night in tiny Astoria, Oregon, destroying a family car, a boat and a barn full of equipment. A husband and wife, their son and grandmother were sleeping just yards from the inferno which could have killed them. Since the property was formerly a mink farm targeted by domestic terrorists in the past, this arson, which involved the use of incendiaries, may be the work of animal rights extremists. An anonymous claim of guilt was published on the website of the North American Animal Liberation Press Office, with a commentary by convicted eco-terrorist Peter Young. The owners of the property were not on site. They had retired in 2009 after 30 years of success raising mink for pelts used in the natural fiber cold weather clothing business. All the livestock housing had also been removed from the property. Just a few hours later, animal rights extremist Jordan Halliday changed his plea to guilty to a contempt charge related to his refusal to cooperate with a Utah grand jury investigation into a string of attacks on mink farms, including the farm in Astoria. The Astoria farm was one of several targeted during a 2008 eco-terrorism crime spree in two US states and Canada. On Aug. 19 of that year, the terrorists struck in South Jordan, Utah, followed by Scio, Oregon (Sept. 4), Aldergrove, BC, Canada (Sept. 18), Kaysville, Utah (Sept. 21), and lastly Astoria (Oct. 17). Threats and claims of guilt were issued in the names of the "Animal Liberation Front" and "Vegan Straight Edge". Along with Halliday, two other Utah men, all with histories in the extreme vegan straight edge/hate edge movement, were convicted of the Utah crimes. Fur Commission USA is offering a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to a conviction related to any of these crimes. Anyone with information is asked to call 503-325-8635 or 503-325-2061 after hours. Tips related to the investigation can also be reported to the Oregon arson hot line at 800-452-7888 or the Portland FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force at 503-224-4181.

About 10 years an exchange student from LSU in Singapore was disgruntled over some grades he received from his professors. To get back at them he put some graffiti on there vehicles. He was caught and sentenced to have 10 lashings with a bamboo cane. The local news station stated that he passed out 3 times due to the pain. The nice Singapore people let him become conscious before continuing. I think it is time for the US to adopt some of these "cruel and unusual punishments". By the way, Singapore has the lowest crime rate of any developed country. AMEN.......
