Mills County Sheriff Mack Taylor, under whose jurisdiction the mink release falls, reports that he is working with the FBI to identify the perpetrators, though an FBI spokesman quoted by the AP story notes that finding those responsible for ALF attacks is extremely difficult. Barbarash previously spent four months in jail in 1994 for releasing cats at a laboratory at the University of Alberta. Barbarash claims he does not take part in the ALF acts, but rather just passes along the anonymous information that is sent to him by the activists.
Fallout continues from mink release in northeast Iowa.
