The Frontline Information Service reported that in March two animal rights activists in Belgium were recently found guilty of attempted arson. The two activists apparently tried to firebomb a vehicle owned by a judge who was involved in an animal rights case. Geert Waegemans received four years and jail, and the other activist (who FIS doesn’t name) received a five year sentence.
According to FIS, the two activists are also awaiting sentencing in a series of arsons at McDonald’s and two meat companies as well.
