Perdue's Petaluma Poultry
Sonoma County, California
Take Action
Ask Sonoma County District Attorney Carla Rodriguez to finally prosecute Petaluma Poultry for years of criminal animal cruelty. Plus, urge Trader Joe's to cut ties with Petaluma Poultry.



Zoe has been forced to wear a GPS ankle monitor and follow other strict pretrial release conditions for over a year. She has been barred from possessing chickens, ducks, or other fowl. Clearly, they do not want Zoe rescuing any more suffering animals.
After a back-and-forth where certain charges were dismissed, filed, and dismissed again, Zoe is now facing one felony conspiracy charge and four misdemeanors, including two types of trespass, tampering with a vehicle, and theft. She faces a potential maximum sentence of 5 and a half years in prison. Zoe's trial was supposed to begin in May, but it was delayed to September because the prosecutors requested more time to prepare. The #PerdueTrial will now start September 15, 2025, and it's expected to last 2-3 weeks. There is a pre-trial hearing set for June 13 to hear argument on defense's motion to use the affirmative defense of necessity, which applies when someone acts in an emergency situation in order to prevent a harm from happening, in this case to protect animals in need of urgent medical care and to prevent potential public health impacts to consumers.
