In my closing argument, I explained that the rule of law protects all of us - even a poor mother dog trapped and limping in a cage at Ridglan Farms. At any moment, we could hear about the fate of the 3000 pups, many of whom are subject to horrifying experiments and surgical

Appeal this injustice now! FREE ZOE!!!!
Lifelong animal rescuer Zoe Rosenberg was just sentenced to 90 days in custody for her rescue of four suffering chickens from Perdue's Petaluma Poultry slaughterhouse. She is ordered to turn herself in one week from today on December 10th. 30 days of her sentence will be in jail

Every part of the prosecution of Zoe Rosenberg has been a shit show, including her sentencing. You cannot have a just society if you are not just towards the most vulnerable beings. Zoe's imprisonment is a moral stain on our civilization.

Zoe is apparently being sentenced to 90 days, with 30 days in jail, plus 60 days of house arrest. She will have to report for jail on December 10. The utter waste of resources in imprisoning an animal rescuer is scandalous.

Today, Zoe Rosenberg may go to prison for the crime of rescue. Her trial earlier this year was a sham. Key evidence of animal cruelty that justified her rescue effort, including government reports...

The government's effort to put 23-year-old Zoe Rosenberg in prison is shockingly stupid, and actions like this are fueling a crisis in youth trust. In the long run, the only way out of this crisis is compassion. I explain why in my latest blog.

It's time to stop calling them factory farms and start calling them death camps.

This is the "free range" chicken farm that @Zoe_Rooster faces years in prison for exposing. We spent nearly a week there and never saw a chicken step outside. Zoe should be lauded for exposing fraud and abuse, not incarcerated for acts of conscience.

Zoe Rosenberg is not a criminal. She's a hero. Her sentence will be decided in court today, for the "crime" of rescuing 4 animals destined for slaughter. But no matter the outcome, history will judge her to be one of the bravest and most compassionate voices of her generation.

People are literally dying in emergency rooms waiting for care, and the UK government is wasting time+money to prosecute beagle rescuers, including my beautiful wife Rose. The trials start today. This is a short summary. Support the rescuers!
10 years in Prison for rescuing beagle puppies? After nearly 3 years, the Beagle Rescue Trials begin on Monday December 1st. It’s ordinary people versus the animal testing industry and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

You have the RIGHT to rescue any animal from abuse. Do not let anyone—lawyer, judge, or politician—tell you otherwise.

Today's my last day of probation for the "crime" of organizing a nonviolent protest at which 37 dying hens were rescued from this California factory farm. And here's my message to Big Ag: If you didn't like what you saw before, just wait and see what we've got coming next.

Rescuers are just the best.
This is Chris. He saw a stranger’s dog drowning and didn’t even think twice. Jumped straight into freezing water like it was his life on the line too. Humanity restored.

Never forget that there are good people in this world.
🥺 A terrified little kitty, fighting to keep its head above the floodwaters in Hat Yai, Thailand, was thankfully saved. I'm so glad they put him/her in the boat 🙏 https://t.co/xlCOTzV1mr

TRUMP: Who would want to harm this beautiful bird? Today, the White House pardoned Gobble, and Trump noted that it'd be unconscionable to hurt an innocent animal. He's right - but not just about Gobble but all 46 million turkeys slaughtered for Thanksgiving.

Next week, Zoe is being sentenced for rescuing 4 animals from certain torture and death. But in the long term, history is on her side. The absurdity of punishing people for the act of rescue is a black mark on the human species.
Joaquin Phoenix has come out in support of Zoe Rosenberg and the right to rescue, calling on the Sonoma County District Attorney’s Office to prosecute animal cruelty at Perdue’s Petaluma Poultry slaughterhouse. Phoenix issued the following statement: “Criminalizing people for

Important. The arc of the moral universe is bending toward animal rights - all over the world.
Finally, Spain has taken a stand for animals and recognized pets as true family members. A new law has changed everything, officially recognizing dogs, cats, and other pets as living beings with feelings, not objects. This shift means animals in Spain now have stronger

The intellectual defense of speciesism has failed. Animal rights is ascendant. About 10 years ago, I got into a Facebook debate about animal consciousness with @ESYudkowsky, the leading figure in AI safety -- and among the most influential people in tech. He blocked me, iirc,

There is very little that people hate more than someone who laughs about cruelty to animals. (Note: this video's authenticity is being debated. But it still warms my heart that, out of the 15+ million who've watched, the vast majority are horrified.)
