On Dec. 3, the animal rights activist who removed chickens from a Petaluma Poultry facility was sentenced to 90 days in jail.
Twenty-three-year-old Zoe Rosenberg of Berkeley, CA, was sentenced by Sonoma County Superior Court Judge Kenneth J. Gnoss after a Sonoma County jury convicted her in November of felony conspiracy and three misdemeanors. Rosenberg was found to have conspired with animal activist group Direct Action Everywhere to enter the Petaluma Poultry plant in June 2023 to steal business records, remove live chickens and interfere with commercial operations. Of her 90-day sentence, 60 days can be served on jail alternatives such as electronic home confinement.
“Simply stated, breaking into a heavily regulated, biosecure food processing facility that supplies food to consumers in this county and across the country is dangerous and illegal,” said District Attorney Carla Rodriguez in a news release.
