-Animal rights activists apparently released 3,000 mink from a farm in Kenosha County, Wisconsin recently. Commenting the on the theft, JP Goodwin of the Coalition to Abolish the Fur Trade (which you'll remember from the previous item, only engages in peaceful demonstrations) lauded the break-in saying "those mink would have been piled into a gas chamber, but now have a chance at life. We would much rather see those mink given the opportunity at life, than left for a certain death."
-Two members of the Kansas/Missouri HorseAid were arrested and charged with several felony counts of theft as they allegedly purloined four ponies they claimed were being mistreated. The HorseAid volunteers claimed the adopted owners of the ponies violated several welfare clauses in a contract they signed and were being "repossessed" for failure to follow said contract. Hint to HorseAid: you might want to get a legal judgment before attempting to repossess property based on an alleged violation of a non-economic clause in a contract.
-Animal rights terrorists in the United Kingdom are believed to be behind the destruction of at least 17 vehicles at the Unigate dairy in Oxford. Incendiary devices were placed under the vehicles and the fire was so intense that 350 campers had to be evacuated from a nearby campsite (but ALF and others would never dream of endangering anybody's life).
