Court Protects Animal Exploiters, Activists Fined

The legal system has failed the hens once again. Almost one year since ALV's rooftop protest at an Egg Production Factory in Somerville, the Somerville 12 (pictured above) faced the Frankston Magistrate Court. All 12 were found guilty of "Refusing to Leave Private Place". Although no convictions were handed down, the activists were fined $1,000 each.
