Unicorn Riot reported on Monday, November 5, 2024 from the Northumberland County Courthouse in Sunbury, PA. Two defendants are being held on bail, $150,000 each, hit with a wide range of charges – including ‘ecoterrorism’ – for allegedly releasing 683 mink from the Richard Stahl & Sons fur farm on Oct. 19.

According to media statements by Mark Stahl of the Stahl mink farm, each mink was valued at $50 each, placing the total value of mink initially freed (most were recovered) at under $35,000 – making the total $300,000 bail for the 2 defendants over 8 times this amount.

Judge Paige Rosini said she’ll decide in next few days re: request for reduced bail by defense counsel for Celeste Legere and Cara Mitrano – both face 14 charges & decades in prison for their alleged role in the Oct. 19 release of 683 mink from the Stahl & Sons fur farm. Full article in link below.
