“Lone Wolf” — the pyro-maniacal animal liberator who endeared himself to Peter Young of Voice of the Voiceless by setting fire to a sheepskin factory, leather factory and a restaurant that served fois gras — has allegedly been caught. The animal kingdom is wiping away a collective tear this week now that Walter Bond is in jail:

Disturbing to think that anybody could be a liberator and you would never know to look at them.
According to someone quoted in the Denver Post, Bond ate two beef hamburgers a couple of days before he was arrested. An animal liberator who appreciates a good burger! Maybe he forgot he was vegan. He’d have to be looking in a mirror to see his tattoo, after all. If I were Bond’s attorney, I would blame the hormones in all the meat Bond eats for the rage that inspired him to revolt against animal users.
(Not that this applies in Bond’s case, meat lover that he already is, but does eating non-vegan food in a prison with no vegan options when your crime is animal liberation constitute a grey area in vegan philosophy?)
The investigators found a book called A Declaration of War, Killing Humans to Save Animals and the Environment on Bond. Though Bond didn’t kill any people, the book helps explain the rationale behind committing arson in the name of the “the voiceless.”
Here are some excerpts:
Liberators believe that a human has a no greater claim to life than a mole or a sea bass. They feel that humans are the lowest form of life, and that the world would be a much better, more peaceful place without them. If you agree with this position, then you will love this book.
If you believe that humans are the chosen species or the highest point of biological evolution, and that this somehow gives them a right to abuse other creatures, then this book is important to you, too. It will let you know that you are a target for animal liberators. Every time you abuse another creature, look over your shoulder. Through liberators, the animals are now fighting back. …
There is a reason why people who become liberators turn to animals for affection. There is an honesty about non-humans. They don’t play games. They are direct. And they are never intentionally cruel. …
Liberators believe in killing humans to save animals!
If an animal researcher said: “It’s a dog or a child,” a liberator will defend the dog every time. A liberator also believes that disposing of a few researchers will save even more dogs from their cruelty.
Liberators have come to one unavoidable conclusion: HUMANS WILL NEVER MAKE PEACE WITH ANIMALS! It is not in their natures or in the natures of the societies they have created. In fact, liberators believe that if people really want to save the animals, they must stop wasting their time trying to improve the human race and its societies. They must declare war against humans. They must join in this revolution! …
Liberators believe that only physical harm will dissuade people from abusing animals. … Liberators hold that nothing will result in the freedom of all animals, short of the extinction of human species. …
In defending their position, liberators ask, what would you do if your sister was being raped each day? Would you have a peaceful talk with the rapists, or write your Congressmen, who is also a rapist? Or should you take a gun and blow the bastards’ balls off? Liberators know what their sister would want them to do.
