Zoe Rosenberg is a straight-A Berkeley student set to graduate soon. She's also an animal rights activist facing 5½ years in prison for "rescuing" 4 chickens. Her trial could have big ramifications — not only for her movement, but for the meat industry: https://t.co/fLjebr6Rdj

Her best friend is a rooster named Glenn, and the college senior says she has never had alcohol. But her trial for stealing four chickens could redefine animal activism in California and beyond.

Investigations into Perdue show that chicks routinely die slow painful deaths from disease, injury & neglect. Don't believe their lies. #Perdue #PerdueFarms #ThePerdueWay #PerdueChicken #NoAntibioticsEver #PetalumaPoultry #AmericasPickiestEater #PerdueFarmsExperience

Huge win for Tracy, the #RightToRescue, and the animal rights movement. If only Ishmael and Little Willow could have this justice, too.

With every trial, I lose more faith in our "justice" system. New level absurdity: The supervising investigator presiding over Tracy’s case is the literal BROTHER-IN-LAW of Scott Gregson (the "victim").

Should Tracy even be on trial? That is the question the defense attorneys argued before the judge in their Motions to Dismiss this morning. The court is now on break for lunch, and the judge is considering his ruling.
