If you want change, find the guy with principles, not the guy who makes promises. Zohran is not known as an animal activist and barely said anything about horse carriages during his campaign. But he is known for sticking to principles, even when it costs him something. He promised quietly to protect horse carriages. And, unlike prior mayors and politicians who made loud commitments, Zohran delivered. There is a lesson here for animal advocates, and others seeking enduring change. Don't seek the cheap talk. Find the people with integrity who can stand behind a principle. Zohran made a promise. He kept it. It's that sort of person who is going to help us make change.

Here is @AALDP_DU's post on what's going on. Check it out and signal boost. Can't let these big corporate firms, esp the fake progressive ones, get away with this sort of BS! xitter.gq/AALDP_DU/status/211843…

This practice was just made illegal in DC. But @JennerBlockLLP and other powerful interests are doing their best to hide it from public scrutiny. A clinic at the University of Denver, @AALDP_DU, just exposed efforts by Jenner, one of the most prominent "progressive" firms in the nation, to harass grassroots activists protesting the abuse of animals at foie gras farms, where ducks are "force fed" to cause their livers to grow ~10x their normal size. Jenner brought litigation that seeks, not just to stop protests, but to find out who runs the SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS of not just the activists but THEIR LAWYERS. In other words, they're not just interested in protests, whatever you think of them. They want to silence speech. If you're wondering how grotesque abuse continues despite widespread public opposition, here is your answer. The wealthiest and most powerful interests are relentless at harassing anyone who dares to criticize a monied interest. This game plan isn't working anymore, though. Every time some corporate interest goes after a whistleblower, it just blows up the issue 100x. The public just strongly spoke in two cities, DC and Denver, that brutal force feeding must end. Jenner can try to crush the opposition. It will fail. Because the people have seen the truth. And the people want this sickening cruelty to stop. Photo by @AnimalEquality

The State of Wisconsin dismissed theft and attempted theft charges against me. The prosecution is effectively admitting that these dogs were so abused that they lacked any commercial value. The question then becomes: WHY DIDN'T YOU INVESTIGATE THE ABUSER?

They are going after everyone who gave support for the rescue on March 15 - even people who just took photos. We will hear the evidence against all 51 defendants for the first time today! #SaveTheDogs #RightToRescue
