Vegan activist Walter Edmund Bond, of Utah, today pleaded guilty to felony counts related to an April fire that burned down the Sheepskin Factory in Glendale.

Bond, 34, was arrested on July 22, accused of using fire or explosives to damage property involved in interstate commerce and of using force, violence or threats involving animal enterprises. The blaze caused more than $500,000 in damage to the Sheepskin Factory in the early hours of April 30.

On July 28, Bond pleaded not guilty to the federal charges. By changing his plea today, he may be eligible for a shorter prison sentence.

Bond is also being investigated for two Utah blazes: a June 5 fire at a leather factory and a July 3 arson at a restaurant that served foie gras

Sentencing should be fair!   He should be let out the very minute he finishes paying off the $500,00.00 in damages he caused... plus interest accrued on the principal sum, until paid, and all board and lodging costs for the term of his incarceration, of course. (Does anybody happen to know what the hourly rate of pay for inmates is these days?)
