A #beagle pup is worth about a grand, I think the lads came out on top even after the penalties - although not suggesting they nicked them to sell (or even did so) as they genuinely wanted a better life for the doggos and saved them from unpleasant experiments.
Its curious though and one of the anomalies of #jury #trials that these lads were found guilty whereas similar activists targeting the same place get acquitted, probably genuine luck of the draw with what jurors they get.
I don't think the prosecutions argument they were *dishonest* holds water, they were perfectly upfront about *why* they took the actions they did.
I hope the (minor) criminal records don't hold them back too much in life..
