Animal Rights Extremist Found Guilty and Jailed
Nov 07, 2023 09:29 am

Imagine a group of strangers breaking into your home, claiming you’re abusing your pets, and then stealing your pets. You’d be outraged.

That’s how farmers feel when they are targeted by Direct Action Everywhere (DxE), a California-based animal liberation group. DxE has made a name for itself by going into farms and taking livestock, claiming to be “rescuing” the animals. But DxE is not a veterinary group–it’s vegan vigilantes who want to prohibit all animal farming. The claim of “rescuing” animals is a euphemism to try to justify aggressive tactics.

Fortunately, DxE is being held legally accountable for this vigilantism.

After a week of deliberations, a California jury found DxE co-founder Wayne Hsiung guilty of a felony and two misdemeanor charges, while deadlocking on a fourth charge. The charges stem from two DxE actions in Sonoma County where activists swarmed poultry farms and removed livestock they claimed were being mistreated.

Following the jury’s verdict, Hsiung was cuffed and led out the courtroom to jail, where he will stay ahead of his sentencing hearing on Nov. 30.

Hsiung was previously convicted in North Carolina of felony larceny and breaking and entering for stealing a goat. But DxE activists were found not guilty in two other cases, one in Utah and one in southern California.

The outcome of this case may reverberate well beyond Sonoma County. If DxE’s co-founder had gotten off, we would expect to see more of this activity across California. As things stand, we’ll see if DxE, which continues to claim it has a “right to rescue,” continues to do direct actions at farms.

Here was the live reaction from an animal rights TV show when the news broke:



It’s a reminder that there are people who root for extremists and think the end justifies the means for their cause. But for today, justice is served.

20 years in prison with bubba as a cell mate!

Hope they respect his vegan views
Well not really

Make sure you mail this guy a jar of vaseline with some sand in it.

In WV if someone comes on your property with the intent to destroy or steal you have the right to use deadly force. When a POS came onto my farm in the middle of the night with a can of Gasoline to burn down my Barn with over 100,000 dollars of equipment and Horses just to torch my Trump Banner on the side I used my Browning 10 gauge. He will be in Prison another 11 years before eligible for any type of Freedom.

They may feed him plenty of sausage

You were too nice to him, Randall. Anyone trespassing and attempting to injure my horses , my rabbits , or me, wouldn’t need 11 years in prison.

Hang em' High!

I hope the prison has meat in every one of their meals. Of course, he probably eats it any way.

It was the middleof the night and I did manage to shoot one leg good enough they had to amputate it. I WANTED to soak him in the Kerosene he had with him and light it. That is the one thing I never liked about the farm. It is less than a mile from the Clay County State Police Barracks. They heard the shot and the screaming. Of all places to build a new Barracks it had to be there.

I like your style, Randall. . At the end of his prison sentence , tell him to come back and you’ll light up the peg leg and shoot the other leg too

Truth

I hear if you keep steel shot loads handy for those kind of scum, the wounds will never heal, just ooze bloody iron water till you get them removed surgically. It's called Supporating.
