Walter Bond was sentenced in the last fifth-fair (13 October) a 87 two months in prison for arson in Utah. This new sentence will be added to your time of sentencing in Colorado. This gives a total of Walter 12 years in prison for his actions as the “Lone Wolf” the Animal Liberation Front.
Final Declaration of the Court:
“I'm here today by the fires that made the Tandy Leather Factory in Salt Lake City and the Tiburon Restaurant in Sandy, Utah, who sells the incredibly cruel foie gras. U.S. judges want to give me the maximum sentence and not just because of my “crimes”, but because I do not regret and am sincere. My intuition tells me that this court will not show mercy to me. Then, instead of lying to the court in a feeble attempt to save myself, as I'm sure many do it while facing your day sentence, let me tell you how I feel.
I regret that when I was 19 years I built two slaughterhouses that continue to kill animals, even now, as I speak. I am sorry that Tandy Leather commercialize skins torn from dead, and often the bodies of animals, as cows, ostriches, rabbits, snakes and pigs. I wish the tanneries that abastecem factory Tandy envenenem Earth with dangerous chemicals.
I am sorry that the restaurant Tiburon profits are obtained from the force-feeding of geese and ducks until their livers explode so that rich people can use it as a pate for crackers and bread. I'm sorry you earn a living with the corpses of wild and exotic animals. I feel that we live in an age where you can rape a child or brutally beat a woman until she was unconscious and receive less prison time than an animal liberation activist that attacked property instead of people.
I regret that my brother was so desperate to get out of debt that flew from Iowa to Colorado just to get myself in a conversation recorded and monitored to obtain the reward money. Sorry to be related biologically to an informant of little value. I regret having waited so long to become a member of the Animal Liberation Front. For all these things always have some regret. But by the fires in Leather Factory and Tiburon restaurant, have no remorse.
I am aware that the laws of the land favor companies so that they get more benefits over the life of animals. They also tend to favor white owners to profit from the enslavement of black people. Also they are used to facilitate the ability of husbands to their wives brutally attack and act on them as if they were an object. Those who violated the law and damaged property to oppose oppression were also called “terrorists” and “fans” in his time, but that does not change the fact that society has advanced and continues to advance.
Then, today I'm the bad guy. This is just a matter of historical coincidence. Who knows, perhaps a society less brutal and less violent if one day there will understand that life and Earth are more important than the products of death and cruelty. And if not, then to hell with it all anyway! Those who support me or my critics think I'm a freedom fighter or a madman with a gallon of gasoline on hand makes no difference to me. I spent years promoting verifiable, supporting and fighting for animal liberation. I saw animal victims of human injustice, thousands of them with my own eyes, and what I saw was blood, Blood and guts! I made a promise to the animals and myself, fight for them in every way he could. I do not regret any of it, and never regret!
They can take my freedom, but can not get my submission.”
