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”

What is open rescue? @aliciasanturio & I were recently on @kzfr901FM to discuss the recent @FosterFarmTrial & the jury's acquittal of Alicia and @alexandra_paul for rescuing 2 sick chickens off of a Foster Farms slaughter truck. kzfr.org/broadcasts/33294 #animalrights #vegan
"I want to go to trial because I want to elevate the stories of these chickens. The only reason that people know what’s happening to animals in these places — in factory farms, in labs, or behind circus doors — is because of animal rights activists.”

“I think the jury was horrified when they learned what terrible shape Ethan and Jax were in.”
Former Baywatch star @alexandra_paul and co-defendant @aliciasanturio were found not guilty of theft after rescuing suffering chickens outside a slaughterhouse. mercyforanimals.org/blog/act…
“In response to this landmark ruling, many legal experts and activists have hailed it as a victory for animals and open rescuers. They argue that the verdict reflects a growing understanding that animals deserve protection…” onegreenplanet.org/animals/c…
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.
Merced County District Attorney says Foster Farms case doesn’t set precedent. fresnobee.com/news/local/art…
“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. vox.com/future-perfect/23647…
“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.”

✅ Rescue
❌ Theft
A jury agreed.

ALT 'Baywatch' star Alexandra Paul, right, to go on trail for taking chickens from Foster Farms truck, shown here on a screenshot from a video provided by Direct Action Everywhere.
“The tactic serves an elegant double purpose, saving animal lives in the immediate term while intentionally provoking conflict with a legal system that treats living beings on farms as though they were inanimate property rather than sentient individuals.”

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.
Until non-humans have standing in court, we will be their proxies!
