2 Years?

Fine, let him serve his term at Guantanmo.

[Vaquero]

skin him alive

[LongElegantLegs]

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

He hasn't met his cell mates yet!

Young said. "I would do it all over again."

Good...continue to show no remorse and you'll not likely get early parole...then go out and do it again, and spend some more slam-time.

[SMARTY]

Mink is not endangered. Ever heard the expression 'breed like a minks' Actually, I remember reading that some minks were turned loose in ?England and became a positive pest there... bred in profusion.

"shoplifting CDs from a Starbucks in San Jose, Calif"

No, no, no..he was LIBERATING the CD's from the corporate monster known as Starbucks.

I'd call him a jackass but that would be an insult to real jackasses.

Well then let's hope it gets _REAL_ bad, as in Bubba meet your new cell-mate-girlfriend.

"Most people are just appalled I'd be put in prison for freeing the animals," he said.

And how well did those mink fare in the wild, jerk? I seem to recall that it was not well. Wonder when he'll lead his first prison break.

Peter Daniel Young, 28, told The Associated Press during a jailhouse interview that serving time will be nothing compared to what caged animals suffer.

Is that so,Pete? Please promise to get back to us after you've "dropped the soap" for the first time.

[8mmMauser]

It isn't mentioned how happy the 7000 mink are to be roaming free and blending in to the environment. We can imagine they had no negative effect on the environment and are all living happy and healthy ever after. Isn't it nice to never feel responsible for one's actions? </sarcasm>

[Semper Paratus]

He's soon going to have a lot of animals getting real freindly with him.

[x5452]

I hope he get's along well with the rest of the prison's creatures.

[KEVLAR]

"Most people are just appalled I'd be put in prison for freeing the animals,"

I'm appalled he didn't get more time for stealing the animals.

[Jagdgewehr]

Young eluded authorities until his arrest in March for shoplifting CDs from a Starbucks in San Jose, Calif.

Animals and music should be, like, free, dude.

*sigh*

Idiot

"Most people are just appalled I'd be put in prison for freeing the animals," he said.

It's called vandalism and destruction of private property. What doesn't he understand?

[Pessimist]

" 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?

[Sarajevo]

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.

[Edgerunner]

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!

[wbill]

"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.
