The Animal Liberation Front claimed responsibility for a raid on a large hatchery in Gilroy that resulted in the theft of 28 hens in what it called an “Easter liberation for life.” Members of the underground group broke into the Davis Poultry Co. & Egg Ranch, set the hens loose and spray-painted the walls and grounds, Santa Clara County sheriff’s deputies said. The underground group said it raided the Davis Poultry Co. because of alleged “atrocious conditions” at the farm, such as overcrowding and disease, according to Margo Tannenbaum, president of Action for Animals in San Bernardino. Tannenbaum was asked by the ALF to speak for them.
