"Two activists arrested for a mink farm raid and a second attempted
raid in Utah are being denied vegan food.

The jail is claiming to those who call to inquire that they are being
fed vegan. However, one of the two was able to get a call out today
and stated that in the two days since his arrest, he has eaten only
lettuce and an apple.

Please take a minute to call and and politely DEMAND the two are be
given adequate vegan food. Phone calls to jails WORK, and have
achieved vegan meals for prisoners in the past. Please take a minute
to call.

Re: inmates William Viehl and Alex Jason Hall

***

Two Local Utah Animal Rights Activists; William "BJ" Viehl and Alex Jason Hall,
were arrested Thursday, March 5th for a raid of a South Jordan, UT
mink farm in August, and the attempted raid of a second mink farm in
October.

Both are being held in Salt Lake County Metro Jail on charges of Animal
Enterprise Terrorism.

Yesterday they had an arraignment hearing in which both pleaded "NOT GUILTY".

They are scheduled for a Bail Hearing on Tuesday, as of right now they are both
being held on Felony 3 retainers with NO BAIL.

At this time it looks like each could face up to 6 years in prison and $350,000
in fines if found guilty.

Please send them a letter of support during these first very difficult days
behind bars.

Please remember to not mention the specifics of their case, or anything that
could be used against them in this very precarious pre-trial phase:
