“Security Has a Beef With Photography”

The Latina in the safety vest had a beef with me. The company had surveilled me on camera. “What are you doing here,” she asked, right in front of the Visitor Center. I replied that I was taking a pictures. She said, “No photos allowed. Delete them.”

I did not delete any photographs, instead I published one.

Hen cages and pig farrowing crates to be outlawed in England | Animal welfare | The Guardian

A step in the right direction, at least.

#Farming #Frarms #FactoryFarms #AnimalWelfare #UK

Rosenberg is an #AnimalRights activist with the group Direct Action Everywhere, or #DxE, which is known for animal rescues & #protests that often garner national attention. #PerdueFarms is one of the largest poultry producers in the country & supplies major grocery chains….

#law #AnimalCruelty #FactoryFarms #AnimalWelfare

“This is not a whodunit. This is a why-dunit,” said Kevin Little, one of Rosenberg’s lawyers, during his opening statement.

He said Rosenberg, who has been charged with 3 misdemeanors & felony conspiracy, investigated the plant for 2 months before taking the birds & consulted a veterinarian who was concerned about images that appeared to show animals being boiled alive. Chris Carraway, her other atty, said in a statement that this “was a rescue, not a crime.”

How the Farm Industry Spied on Animal Rights Activists and Pushed the FBI to Treat Them as Bioterrorists

For years, a powerful ‘Big Ag’ trade group served up information on activists to the FBI. Records reveal a decade-long effort to see the animal rights movement labeled a “bioterrorism” threat.
