Fascinating afternoon at @FosterFarmTrial Summit at UC College of Law featuring a panel with jurors who acquitted… “What was the thing that made you trust and feel good about Alicia and Alexandra?” “That the called it open rescue and weren’t trying to hide what they did”

Now that the public has sided with animal rescuers, when will the @MercedCountyDA start prosecuting the real criminal, @FosterFarms, which violates animal cruelty laws on a daily basis.

“A trial offers a chance for rescuers to tell the stories of the animals they saved, connecting the fathomless billions suffering in factory farming to individual animals with lives worth living.”
In 2021, activists took two sick, slaughter-bound chickens from one of the country’s biggest poultry companies. Prosecutors called it stealing, but the defendants called it a rescue — and a jury just agreed.

“DxE’s theory — that when you show a jury of ordinary citizens what happens to animals in the meat industry, they’ll agree that they deserve rescue — turned out to be true, challenging the idea that the animal rights agenda is radical or unpopular.” https://t.co/THoxsmftgK

Good to see open on the record discussions of the realities behind animal agriculture, including the hundreds of millions of animals who die every year before reaching slaughter.
A not guilty verdict, and this fantastically embarrassing exchange between a Foster Farms executive and the DA... Sutton's testimony was supposed to be their coup de grâce . 🤦♀️
