Wanted Animal Rights Activist Arrested
Wed Mar 30,11:12 AM ET U.S. National - AP
SAN JOSE, Calif. - An animal rights activist was arrested on a domestic terrorism charge after seven years on the run in connection with the release of thousands of minks from commercial farms.
Peter Daniel Young, 27, could face life in prison if convicted of all charges, including conspiracy to interfere with interstate commerce and animal enterprise terrorism, according to court papers.
Young fled soon after he was indicted in 1998 and was arrested March 21 at a coffee shop in San Jose, authorities said.
He and Justin Clayton Samuel, 26, were indicted by a federal grand jury in Wisconsin in the release of minks from farms in Wisconsin, South Dakota and Iowa, FBI agent Mike Johnson said Tuesday. They were accused of freeing thousands of the animals.
Federal authorities suspect Young is affiliated with the activist group Animal Liberation Front. A telephone message left at the group's office in Canoga Park was not immediately returned.

Now let's slap PETA around and call it a day![:D]
which is an oxymoron, with "Maybe." [}:)] [;)] [:D]
The gene pool needs chlorine.
This kid pulled that stupid mink-freeing stunt when he was 20 and got caught.
If he had simply taken his medicine then, and pled guilty (or even NOT pled guilty) he probably would have gotten away with a fine and/or a slap on the wrist, and he might even have been free to walk afterwards. In fact, he might even have had his record expunged later for a non-violent offense as a young man.
But instead this bonehead becomes a "mink fugitive" for seven years?
