"Petaluma Poultry has said that DxE is an extremist group that is intent on destroying the animal agriculture industry. The activist with Direct Action Everywhere, or DxE, a Berkeley-based animal rights group, has said she does not regret what she did. 'I will not apologize for taking sick, neglected animals to get medical care,' Rosenberg said following her conviction. The group named the birds - Poppy, Ivy, Aster, and Azalea - and placed them in an animal sanctuary."
"Petaluma Poultry has said that DxE is an extremist group that is intent on destroying the animal agriculture industry. The company maintained that the animals were not mistreated. Rosenberg testified she disguised herself as a Petaluma Poultry worker using a fake badge and earpiece to take the birds, and then posted a video of her actions on social media. Petaluma Poultry is a subsidiary of Perdue Farms - one of the United States' largest poultry providers for major grocery chains."
Zoe Rosenberg, 23, was convicted of felony conspiracy, trespassing and related charges for removing four chickens from Petaluma Poultry, a Perdue Farms subsidiary. A jury found her guilty after a seven-week trial in Sonoma County. She was sentenced to 90 days in jail with 60 days potentially served through alternatives like house arrest, ordered to report Dec. 10, and given two years of probation with a prohibition on entering Perdue facilities in the county. Rosenberg and her group, Direct Action Everywhere, say the chickens were rescued, named Poppy, Ivy, Aster and Azalea, and placed in a sanctuary.
