Activists opposed to one of America’s biggest poultry producers protested sales of Perdue Farms products at a Berkeley Trader Joe’s over the weekend.
Animal welfare advocates inside and outside the store urged the retailer to stop selling products slaughtered by Perdue’s Petaluma Poultry.
The activists from Direct Action Everywhere sought to disrupt the grocery near the campus of the University of California, Berkeley.
Direct Action Everywhere was part of the Coalition to End Factory Farming, a collection of animal rights groups that failed last year to win a citizen initiative to ban large animal farms in Sonoma County.
The activist group has a history of trespassing to take pictures or remove animals from what it sees as abusive environments.
Zoe Rosenberg, a UC Berkeley student and Direct Action member, is facing a felony trial in May for removing four chickens from the Petaluma Poultry slaughterhouse in June 2023.
