Recently released after 7 years on the FBI's wanted list and a 24 month federal prison sentence, this veteran activist is an emerging voice of strength through sacrifice in the struggle for animal liberation. Now returned to the world on this side of the fence, Peter Young brings with him an arresting story; speaking on the subjects of political repression, animal liberation, politicized prosecutions, the prison experience, and more. Young was released in February 2007." (From http://www.confrontingcruelty.
