A California animal rights activist who took four chickens from a major Perdue Farms poultry plant was found guilty Wednesday of felony conspiracy, trespassing and other charges and faces several years in jail.

Zoe Rosenberg, 23, did not deny taking the animals from Petaluma Poultry but argued she wasn’t breaking the law because she was rescuing the birds from a cruel situation. The trial lasted about seven weeks in Sonoma County, an agricultural area of Northern California.

Petaluma has been a center for raising chickens for over a century. The city is on US101, about midway between Vallejo and Santa Rosa. Petaluma Poultry Processors is the second greatest employer in the city, second only to the Petaluma School District. Clover Sonoma dairy is also a major employer in the city. CfA plans to open a store in Petaluma in December this year, so I wonder if they'll be supplied locally.

Animal "rights" crazies like this female need serious consequences. About 40 years ago some of the crazies set a fire at a facility of the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. UC Davis is among the best schools of veterinary medicine in the US.
