A University of California student has been ordered to serve 90 days in jail for breaking into a Sonoma County poultry slaughterhouse and freeing four chickens. Twenty-three-year-old Zoe Rosenberg of Berkeley received the sentence on Wednesday, after a jury convicted her in October of felony conspiracy and three misdemeanor counts. She was ordered to pay more than $100,000 to Petaluma Poultry, which is owned by the agribusiness giant Perdue Farms. Rosenberg’s supporters with the group Direct Action Everywhere say the chickens she rescued were worth $24; they’re reportedly alive and well at a sanctuary for rescued farm animals. Rosenberg told supporters her action was prompted by investigations that found routine violations of California’s animal cruelty laws at Petaluma Poultry slaughterhouses.

Zoe Rosenberg: “We found that there were dead birds among the living, that the air quality was so poor that chickens were struggling to breathe. I myself was struggling to breathe even with a KN95 mask as I investigated this facility. … And we have been calling on the California attorney general to take action, because the Sonoma County District Attorney’s Office has made it abundantly clear that they do not care about these animals whatsoever, that they care far more about the profits of Perdue, a company that makes over $10 billion a year on the backs of these animals.”
