Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) is an animal liberation group that is notorious for its large-scale actions which sometimes involve illegal tactics such as civil disobedience and trespassing.
DxE sees their actions as essential to forwarding their cause of exposing injustices in the Animal Agriculture System. However, some of DxE’s opponents, especially those who have been directly targeted by DxE, have labeled them as actual terrorists after their aggressive occupations and protests.
VICE documents as DxE embark on their largest actions to date: occupying an egg farm in Petaluma, CA and removing chickens from the property. VICE also speaks with the co-owner of the egg farm who claims that DxE’s actions are not only illegal, but detrimental to the possibility of a constructive dialogue between Animal Rights Activists and members of the Animal Agriculture Industry.

These people are insane… Why are they allowed to invade private property those people laboured to raise those chickens. They purchased those chickens.
SO INHUMANE😢 I only buy Pasteurized eggs. This is what they refer to as cage free.
You've just made me hungry again.
Steal chickens? OMG..
0:29 woah is that legendary mia khalifa?

lmaooo of course it’s Berkeley
There is alot of chicken 🐔 hater here sick people
Dem look so stupid
Interesting and what do you do to the young roosters?
Somebody arrest this president of DXE the farmers story seem very true
The whole bloody lot should have been jailed for trespass !
These people have no real life problems and you can tell.
Ok I want a chicken sandwich now.
they don't understand if we release animals back into the wild we will just lose food and then the random animals in the wild will be able to eat them instead
People like this just make me lose faith in humanity
There is a reason why they are facing felony charges….BECAUSE THEY ARE TRESPASSING ON PRIVATE PROPERTY!
He should of stayed in Asia
I hope he gets convicted
Absolutely biased video, presenting the activists as fools. No, they didn,t release the chickens in the wild.
Referring to the chicken who died, Mike Weber says it's like people in cities, always some who die, part of the natural process. However, there is nothing natural in factory farming. Mike Weber's chickens never see the sunshine (except briefly, when they are exhausted and sent to slaughter), they never feel the fresh air, rain, sunshine on their bodies, their environment is ghastly and so far from natural that it really is a crime to subject any creature to such a hellish life. I understand that those who confine animals will reject any kind of exposure of the suffering that factory farmed animals endure, but that suffering should be exposed to all of us. All that is good in our societies is because of courageous people challenging corrupt laws and exposing misery and cruelty that would otherwise never be known.
Am I the only want who notices the cult-like behavior of DxE?
It takes a lot of bravery to stand up for your ethics when society is against you. They are not doing this for your approval, they are doing this to help animals that are suffering and being forced to live in unnatural, inhumane conditions. These birds are individuals and they should not be treated as mere commodities. They are sentient, living beings, not mindless egg machines.
He doesn't want to shut all animal agriculture down. He wants to stop profiteering off of the torture of animals.
You can't violently break in to somebody's property and then pull the hippie flower thing you're not peaceful
Better than blocking the road tbh
Not a single person in this comment section understand that these are life you're eating. Imagine you're next to cut for meat. I don't know why the people can't understand the simple thing that you can't eat life. If this is what you want then you should eat human meat as it is the best for all the protein and also it is clean and safe
.
Animals aren't property. <3
NEXT TIME TELL THE DXT GROUP LEADER THAT THEY SUPPLY FOOD AND WATER TO THE ANIMALS
Wow just another mental health cult. Lucky the farmer didnt exercise his right to safety with his fire arms
5:04 his voice
Why not just advocate for veganism? No demand, no supply.
Look at these angry rednecks lol
What is like to know is what they do with all the animals once they take them , they are nothing more thugs .
Thats literal assault and trespassing and property distruction
cringe
Pvz moment:
Lmao fucking jokes go get real jobs
Can we do this for Case Farms? 👀
Dude my state and county are farming people and we are blessed to rase and help animals live there life’s healthy and safe with plenty of food and water idk why people do this 🫤
It's funny the chickens they're taking out literally are natural selection. These people are… stupid
