Walter Bond was arrested on July 23, 2010 and accused of being the ALF (Animal Liberation Front) "Lone Wolf" charged with arson of the Sheepskin Factory in Colorado. He has also been indicted in Utah for a the arsons of the Tandy Leather Factory and Tiburon (foie gras restaurant).
Walter's brother alerted the FBI and the ATF about his suspicions that his brother, Walter, was behind the attacks. While Walter was visiting Denver in July 2010, his brother helped participate in a sting operation, allegedly wearing a wire and helping procure audio evidence against Walter. He was arrested in Denver and is now being held in the Jefferson County Jail in Golden, Colorado awaiting trial.
A dedicated animal rights activist and anti-capitalist for over 15 years, Walter has struggled for animal liberation and against a deadly and genocidal culture of drug abuse in the United States. Walter was the subject of a song by the vegan straight edge band Earth Crisis. The band's song "To Ashes" was inspired by Bond's 1998 prison sentence for arson. Bond was convicted of burning down a meth lab owned by a drug dealer who was selling to his brother (same brother as the snitch).
