Last year, a federal civil rights lawsuit was filed against Beaver County, Utah by activists with @DxEverywhere and @UARC who were defending their 1st Am right to speak freely about abuses at @SmithfieldFoods & the then-upcoming #SmithfieldTrial.
Here is the outcome!!

When you mix animals and commerce, the animals always lose. Commercially produced wool, leather, down, etc. causes immeasurable suffering to animals (and all animals used in the clothing industry are eventually slaughtered)--but fundamentally, animals are not ours to wear.
With fur out of fashion, PETA wants to make animal-derived materials like wool, leather and down unacceptable for use, pointing to practices like live plucking and calling out the conditions in which sheep and cattle are farmed, transported and slaughtered cnn.it/3CxS55T

Salt Lake has 5 years left. Hay grown for animal feed consumes 68% of irrigation water in Utah, yet yields only .2% of the state’s GDP. The rest of UT residents use only 18% of the water.
The draining of Salt Lake is an act of class warfare.

Thank you to all of the animal advocates & UARC supporters who wrote to elected officials and protested for this victory
A Lindon animal shelter is no longer using gas chambers to euthanize animals, the director confirms. Activists have pleaded with the shelter for years for this to happen.

I’d like to thank my jury for taking the time and effort to serve and ultimately reach the verdict they arrived at. If any of you would ever like to talk further, I’d be happy to. Regardless of any differences we might have on the issue, thank you for your civil service.

Believe it or not, we are BACK IN COURT tomorrow, but this time the tables have turned and we will be on the offensive. We're suing Beaver County and their law enforcement officers for violating our #1A rights. You can watch online at 9am MT at uarc.io/BeaverLawsuit.

Wonderful news - even in conservative rural Utah, a jury won't convict heroes who rescue piglets from factory farms!

Massive shout out to everyone following along and sharing Lily and Lizzie's story.
This was an all around team effort. There were so many people working behind the scenes that helped make this possible. We appreciate you all.
Much love!

Yep.
Did you know in Utah, pigs are deemed "livestock" & EXCLUDED from the definition of "animal" in the state's cruelty to animals law? So the state can't prosecute cruelty to pigs on factory farms, but TY to #SmithfieldTrial we now know it's not a crime to rescue suffering pigs. 🐖

I am possibly moments from going away for a long time. But while they've gagged us in court, stories like this will tell the true story of this trial: stopping the public from learning the truth about factory farm. nytimes.com/2022/10/08/scien…

Great coverage of the @SmithfieldTrial and powerful words from @JeremyBeckham. It makes no sense to put people in prison for 10 years for $80 worth of piglets–they were dying and would likely be tossed in the dead pile the next day. Definitely worth a watch. #onehealth #vetmed – at Berkeley, CA

The renowned philosopher @PeterSinger is speaking out today to defend the right to rescue -- just one week before the #SmithfieldTrial begins in Utah. Please help us spread the word.
