A judge in Sonoma County, Calif., sentenced an animal activist convicted of stealing four chickens from Petaluma Poultry in 2023 to 90 days, according to a report by the Press Democrat.
The sentence requires Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) member Zoe Rosenberg to serve 30 days in jail and 60 days through a jail-alternative program, followed by two years of probation. She is to turn herself in by Dec. 10.
Sonoma County Superior Court Judge Kenneth Gnoss also ordered Rosenberg to stay at least 100 yards away from the Petaluma Poultry facility, which is owned by Perdue Farms.
In October, a jury found Rosenberg guilty of one count of felony conspiracy and three misdemeanors related to breaking into the plant and stealing chickens as part of what she and DxE contends are rightful rescues of allegedly abused animals.
Rosenberg read a statement, not expressing remorse for her actions but for failing to rescue more chickens, according to the report, which quoted Gnoss as saying, “Not once did I hear you say you’re sorry for your criminal conduct.”
