Seventeen chickens were just liberated from the Petaluma Poultry slaughterhouse in Sonoma County as hundreds of activists gathered outside to bear witness as part of the Animal Liberation Conference.
An initial team, dressed as workers, rescued four chickens from a slaughter truck parked inside the facility, while waves of other teams rescued animals from trucks both inside the facility and on their way to the slaughterhouse. Activists documented chickens too weak to stand, crammed inside transport cages, and covered in blood.
This action comes after 5 years of documenting horrific cruelty at Petaluma Poultry suppliers across Sonoma County and occurred in conjunction with the release of a brand new mini-documentary further exposing Petaluma Poultry for abusing animals, spreading life-threatening diseases, and lying to the public.
Watch and share the mini documentary on YouTube, Instagram, or Facebook.
