Animal-rights activists arrested in attempt to rescue a pig at Farmer John slaughterhouse
Seven animal-rights activists were cited for allegedly trespassing while trying to rescue a pig from the Farmer John slaughterhouse in Vernon, police said Saturday.
“Two subjects were determined to be inside the livestock yard and five subjects fled on foot,” Onopa said. “They [the five subjects] were then detained by officers nearby. Due to the pandemic, they were cited at the scene and released.” Thousands of pigs are trucked into the facility each day, where they are slaughtered and their meat is used for Dodger Dogs, as well as the ham, bacon, sausage and hot dogs sold under the Farmer John label.DXE said on Facebook that its vigil will attempt to educate workers and the public about the inhumane treatment of animals at such plants, and the effect of the factory farming industry on climate change and public health issues, including the coronavirus outbreak.
Earlier this year, the Farmer John slaughterhouse experienced a large coronavirus outbreak, in which 153 workers have tested positive for the disease.
