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.
VICTORY!!! 🌱🐮 The judge just dismissed the criminal charge against Tracy, and the case is officially over. #RightToRescue #CompassionIsNotACrime

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.

In dimly lit aisles at Weber Family Farms in Petaluma, hundreds of thousands of chickens live out their 90 weeks of life. These barns are at the heart of a bitter fight that farmers and animal rights groups are waging for the future of local farming:

“Weber’s […] organic barns have at least 1.2 square feet per bird. The conventional buildings, with smaller birds, have one square foot a piece.” Imagine putting fwd your best spokesperson to talk abt animal welfare & the reality is 1.2 sqft/hen!? #YesOnJ #StopFactoryFarming
The fight over Measure J builds on years of acrimony between Sonoma farmers and animal rights activists.

Our latest victory in our campaign to expose Perdue’s Petaluma Poultry has been covered by the @sfexaminer. We hope that more people and companies will follow Tyler Florence’s example.
"Celebrity chef and noted San Francisco restaurateur Tyler Florence has distanced himself from Petaluma Poultry, according to the animal rights group Direct Action Everywhere that has accused the Perdue Farms subsidiary of abusing and neglecting birds." Thank you @sfexaminer for

All 6 dairy CAFOs in the county have massive manure lagoons. The stored waste is regularly dumped onto the land untreated. Together, we can #StopFactoryFarming in #SonomaCounty & protect our environment. #YesOnJ
