Another member of these groups, Joseph Garrett Buckland, of Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania , also pleaded guilty a few weeks ago to one count of conspiracy to create and distribute animal crush videos. Buckland was charged on Feb. 26 with violating the federal Animal Crushing statute, according to the Department of Justice.
