Zoe Rosenberg, a 23-year-old animal rights activist, was sentenced on December 4, 2025, to 30 days in jail and 60 days of alternative sentencing for trespassing at a Petaluma slaughterhouse and taking four chickens. She faces $102,548 in restitution, two years of probation, a 100-yard exclusion from the facility, GPS monitoring, and restrictions on digital communications and associations. Prosecutors argued she showed no remorse, while her defense cited health risks from Type 1 diabetes and gastroparesis. Rosenberg, affiliated with Direct Action Everywhere, admitted entering the facility but claimed her actions were ethical investigations into animal cruelty. The case drew national attention to the boundaries of activism and the law.
