Members of the animal activist group Direct Action Everywhere disrupted the NFL Buffalo Bills/Los Angeles Rams season-opener game on Sept. 8 by running onto the field with red smoke flares.
The two women were wearing shirts that read “righttorescue.com,” which is a website dedicated to “Help the whistleblowers facing prison time for exposing factory farm abuses and rescuing suffering animals.”
The website and protest are allegedly to shine a light on an upcoming trial of two group members who stole two piglets from Circle Four Farms in Utah.
The women who ran onto the field during the fourth quarter of the game were released from custody on misdemeanor trespass charges and a graffiti citation for one of the members.
