With the 4 from CA, plus these 2 from UT, that makes a total of 6 (so far)... Two Local Utah Animal Rights Activists; William "BJ" Veihl and Alex Jason Hall, were arrested Thursday March 5th for an alleged raid of a South Jordan, UT mink farm in August, and the alleged attempted raid of a second mink farm in October. Both are being held in Salt Lake County Metro Jail on charges of Animal Enterprise Terrorism...they had an arraignment hearing in which both pleaded "NOT GUILTY". They are scheduled for a Bail Hearing on Tuesday, as of right now they are both being held on Felony 3 retainers with NO BAIL. At this time it looks like each could face up to 6 years in prison and $350,000 in fines if found guilty. Please send them a letter of support during these first very difficult days behind bars...
