DESCRIPTION:Please join us at 11am this Wednesday, November 5th at 1301 L St, 
 Sacramento, CA (exact coordinates: 38°34'37.1"N 121°29'25.1"W) where we 
 will brief before walking 3 blocks to California Attorney General Rob 
 Bonta’s office (1300 I St, Sacramento, CA) to protest.\n\nFor decades, 
 documented evidence of animal cruelty at California factory farms and 
 slaughterhouses has been ignored by every level of government — by city 
 police, county law enforcement, state leaders, and federal agencies. At the 
 same time, whistleblowers and rescuers who expose animal cruelty are being 
 prosecuted. We just saw an egregious example of this in Sonoma County where 
 the District Attorney spent hundreds of thousands of dollars prosecuting 
 Zoe Rosenberg, a 23-year-old animal rescuer with no criminal record, for 
 her rescue of four sick chickens from Perdue’s Petaluma Poultry 
 slaughterhouse that had been exposed criminally abusing animals, including 
 scalding them alive. After nearly 7 weeks of trial, during which evidence 
 of animal cruelty was severely restricted, Rosenberg was convicted and she 
 faces a potential sentence of nearly five years in jail. Meanwhile, 
 Petaluma Poultry faces no consequences for leaving sick animals to die or 
 scalding animals alive.\n\nWhen county district attorneys ignore and even 
 help cover up evidence of animal cruelty, we need the state’s top law 
 officer to step in. Animal cruelty is a widespread, statewide issue and 
 yet, no one is holding these powerful, animal-abusing companies like Perdue 
 accountable. The Attorney General has direct supervision over every 
 district attorney and sheriff in the state and it is their office’s duty 
 to see that the laws of the state are uniformly and adequately enforced. AG 
 Rob Bonta can prosecute crimes in any county of California when local 
 prosecutors are not enforcing the law. That’s why we are asking him to 
 prosecute Petaluma Poultry and other animal-abusing companies.\n\nWHERE: 
 1301 L St, Sacramento, CA\nWHEN: Wednesday, November 5th, 2025\nWEAR: 
 Whatever you like.\nWHO: Everyone is welcome! However, please do not come 
 if you have or recently had symptoms of or exposure to 
 COVID-19.\nACCESSIBILITY: There will be some standing and a 3 block walk. 
 We’ll have a couple chairs on hand in case anyone needs to 
 rest.\n\n---\n\nDirect Action Everywhere (DxE) is a grassroots network of 
 animal rights activists. Through open rescue, demonstration, and 
 disruption, we help build a world where every animal is safe, happy and 
 free.\n\nDxE cultivates a welcoming and supportive community. We ask that 
 all those who attend our events (online and offline) respect our Code of 
 Conduct which can be reviewed at dxe.io/conduct.\n\nTo learn about our 
 vision, goals, strategy and more check out the San Francisco Bay Area
