California woman on trial for stealing chickens argues she was rescuing them
A California woman on trial for taking four chickens from one of Perdue Farms’ major poultry plants has put animal treatment at slaughter houses in the national spotlight as the defense argues she rescued the birds from abuse. The case is heading into closing statements on Tuesday. If convicted, Zoe Rosenberg could land in prison for more than five years. But rather than her defense focusing on if she took the chickens in 2023, it’s centered on her justification for doing so. Prosecutors have argued that this case isn’t about why she took the chickens, but that she committed an illegal act by doing so.
