(CHICAGO) A Los Angeles man has been sentenced to six months of home confinement for vandalizing a Grundy County fur farm and releasing more than 2,000 mink from their cages.
U.S. District Judge Amy J. St. Eve Wednesday sentenced Tyler Lang to three months’ time already served in prison, six months of community confinement and six months of home confinement, followed by one year of supervised release.
After releasing the mink, Lang and an accomplice spray painted the barn with the words, “Liberation is Love.” The pair also poured an acidic substance over two trucks that were parked on the farm in Morris, Ill.
The 27-year-old pleaded guilty last year to one count of conspiring to travel in interstate commerce with the purpose of damaging an animal enterprise.
The accomplice, Kevin Johnson, also of Los Angeles, pleaded guilty last year to the same charge as Lang and was sentenced last month.
