" serving time will be nothing compared to what caged animals suffer.

"As bad as it could get, it will never be as bad as it was for those mink,""

Do caged minks have Bubba for a "boyfriend" too?

Young pleaded guilty to animal enterprise terrorism

I agree that this terd is stupid and deserves what he received, but does everything need to be refered to as terrorism these days? The article made no mention of terrorizing the owners or making bomb threats. The article only stated that the perp released the animals. This is a simple case of vandalism.

Brainless liberal...Don't stop and think it may result in the death of the minks, as long as it makes you feel righteous and all fuzzy all over!

You nailed it! Look at this:

Marauding Minks

Apparently the ALF has pulled this in Norway, Italy and Spain, too.

I live in Florida, but it almost makes me want to get a fur coat.

"As bad as it could get, it will never be as bad as it was for those mink," Young said

I'm sure that the mink are properly appreciative, and will come visit him in prison.

Shh, nobody tell him the havoc that will be wreaked by dumping 7,000 carnivorous rodents into an unprepared ecosystem...

I might be wrong, but isn't this the same clown that let the mink free, whereupon they promptly ran across a local highway and mostly were turned into bumper stickers?

He should serve his sentence and monetarily compensate those who lost their livestock.

I'm a bit confused however. What does prison rape have to do with conservative ideals? I see those comments a lot on FR. I can understand the death penalty for murder, child molesters, etc. But why do some freepers seem to get a perverse pleasure out of wishing prison rape on some of these other idiots?

Doesn't seem Christian or conservative to me. Suppose President Hildabeast bans private ownership of firearms, and Joe-Family-Man gets sent to the pokey (pun intended). Will we be hoping for prison rape in his situation? Ok, done ranting now. Have a nice day.

prison rape ...conservative ideals

You obviously don't understand business. These animals provided money in the bank for these families and others down the economic line. This money goes for land payments, taxes, college savings, taxes, licensing, taxes, groceries, taxes, etc.

By destroying a livelihood for selfish ideals he destroyed a means of income. He 'raped' these families, taking away livelihoods, animals lives, and other peoples income as well.

I get sick and tired of people picking on farm families. Notice he said he left the NW because it got toooo difficult. poooooooor baby.

That is TOTAL BULL$HIT!! These jerks disrupted commerce, killed innocent life themselves (they did not insure the animals could fend for themselves) and destroyed income and livelihood. That most certainly is TERRORISM!

I understand business. And I own land and cattle, thanks for assuming. Hell, give the idiot 20 yrs in prison, fine by me. I hold the enviro-whacko left responsible for a lot of problems in this country.

My point is more specific. Jeez, we are generally opposed to homosexual behavior on this forum, but apparently root for it in our prison system. Just seems a bit out of place to me. Maybe folks just figure sentences are typically light, so they're rooting for other, "non-sanctioned" punishment? (maybe I just answered my own question).

Oh well, need to go. Take care. -HW

Your deprecating posts to myself and Hard Way would better be served on DU.

Weasels, not rodents.

Still, I don't think mink are native to that part of the world, although some similar long weasels probably are. They could become a pest if they have no natural enemies, but more likely is that they'll not be suited to the environment and slowly, one by one, die of starvation and disease. Yeah, much kinder fate for them.

>These minks were born and breed in captivity. They did not last that long.<

My guess is many of them fought each other to the death. They're not pack animals, and they are voracious carnivores.

Yep, let's give this maroon a standing ovation for freeing the cute little furry animals, pining to cavort in the wild.
