"Prosecutors cited several factors, including what they described as Rosenberg's "staggering" lack of remorse and the ineffectiveness of alternatives such as house arrest or work release. "Custody, by contrast, is a punishment she cannot manipulate, soften or transform into something else," prosecutors wrote. "It is the only options that carries real consequence. Custody is the only sanction that would survive (Rosenberg's) talent for turning consequence into theater.""
"Prosecutors offered a different version of events, saying Rosenberg unlawfully entered the facility May 21 and June 13, 2023, searched company files, placed GPS trackers on vehicles and then removed four chickens. They noted the timing aligned with DxE's annual liberation conference and Rosenberg's birthday. Rosenberg was arrested outside the courthouse in November 2023, shortly after DxE co-founder Wayne Hsiung was sentenced to 90 days in jail and two years' probation in a similar Sonoma County case."
Prosecutors asked for a 180-day jail term after a jury convicted Zoe Rosenberg of felony conspiracy tied to an entry at the Petaluma Poultry facility in June 2023. The district attorney cited Rosenberg's lack of remorse and found alternatives like house arrest or work release ineffective, arguing custody is the only meaningful punishment. Prosecutors say Rosenberg unlawfully entered the facility on May 21 and June 13, searched files, placed GPS trackers on vehicles and removed four chickens. Direct Action Everywhere and supporters maintain the actions exposed animal cruelty and say four birds were rescued. The maximum sentence faced was 4.5 years; custody credits would reduce actual time served.
