Livestock “rescuing” poses threats to farmers and biosecurity

The Animal Agriculture Alliance is cautioning livestock farmers about the threat of animal activists “rescuing” animals from large farms.

Manager of Issues and Engagement Abby Kornegay tells Brownfield members of Direct Action Everywhere have been in several ongoing trials.

“This cut and dry theft, but this has really gained them a lot of momentum,” she explains.  “They went on a kind of a cross-country trip, teaching people about this right to rescue, how to break into farms, how to steal animals.”

Kornegay says that organization has also released an investigation manual on their tactics for other extremists to follow.
