Animal Rights Extremist Gets Prison Sentence for Interfering with Hunt





Rodney Coronado, a well-known animal rights extremist was sentenced to eight months in federal prison this month for interfering with U.S. Forest Service agents who were trying to capture mountain lions in Arizona two years ago.

The sentencing comes after Coronado and two others were convicted in December of 2005 on misdemeanor charges of interfering with a forest officer and depredation of government property, as well as felony charges of conspiracy to impede or injure an officer of the United States.

In the spring of 2004, federal officials were alarmed at a growing number of encounters between mountain lions and humans in Sabino Canyon. The U.S. Forest Service organized a hunt to trap the cats and move them out of the area.

Coronado has served prison time for setting fire to a mink researcher’s offices at Michigan State University. In public speeches, Coronado has advocated the use of arson and violence against hunters, farmers and the animal use industries. In 2003, Coronado demonstrated the proper way to build a firebomb during a presentation to a crowd of college students at American University in Washington, D.C.

Besides his prison term, Coronado will spend three years on probation, pay restitution, and has been ordered to stay away from activists involved in such groups as the Animal Liberation Front, Earth Liberation Front and Earth First.
