'Serial arsonist,' animal rights activist ordered to prison | Deseret News
Bond told the judge he wasn't going to lie to him in a last-ditch attempt at a lighter in sentence. Instead, he apologized for the crimes he believes society commits against animals. He apologized for his part in constructing slaughterhouses when he was 19 the experience that he says prompted him to want to become a vegan and advocate for animals.
As for the arson that in Utah caused a total of thousands of dollars in damage to two businesses and more than $1 million in Colorado?
"I regret none of it," Bond said. "I never will. You can take away my freedom, but you can never have my submission."
He compared the current treatment of animals to slavery and domestic violence as examples of things that were once lawful but since have become illegal.
