Prosecutors 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.
