make those connections of saying, you know, Hey, I've, I've met Andrew. I've met Mike. I know what their intentions are. I know what they're trying to do. Like we definitely encourage you to talk with them.

Uh, so it can kind of be that pass between some organizations that will join the Alliance just to be able to say like, we're, we're with you, you know, we support them too as kind of their, their credentials, their creds. So I definitely think that think that trust factor is big and we're, we're certainly encouraging that mindset of trust, but verify, uh,

And if we can help be part of that verification process, we're glad to do it.

Yeah, there's ones like that. And then in Oregon, which might be the same one where, you know, they let these mink free, but then they also destroyed animals. all these breeding records. So, you know, years of records are now gone and impossible to replicate. And mink don't exactly thrive in the wild.

So it's completely counterintuitive that these animals are not only not going to survive themselves, but also harm the ecosystem in that area. And we've seen a resurgence of the mink releases in the last year or two. There's one going on pretty prominently in Pennsylvania right now where an activist was allegedly

And we've seen a resurgence of the mink releases in the last year or two. There's one going on pretty prominently in Pennsylvania right now where an activist was allegedly

paid off by an activist group to trespass and release mink from this farm to disrupt the production of fur. So those kind of releases are big ones. And then the ones that really stand out for me are some of the ones that we have followed in Northern California, where it has been in conjunction with an activist conference that typically takes place in that area and kind of their big

crescendo of the event will be putting folks on a bus and busing them up to farms or plants so we're talking about hundreds of people and they will have a smaller group that has received training for trespassing and interacting with law enforcement they will wear certain colored armbands based on what level of like security access they have and what level of training they received

But then in court, they'll say, we didn't know we were breaking the law. I'm not sure how that works because I don't break the law on a daily basis. And I've also never received training about what to do when I get arrested. But that is what these groups, you know, they'll spend a day training. Here's what to say to police. Here's how to handle it.

If you get arrested, then they'll go put it in practice. So they'll bus, you know, hundreds of people to camp out for hours outside of a farm, a family farm, most of these incidents. And then they'll have a smaller group that goes inside, trespass, steals birds. And these are what some of those recent trials in California were focused on, some of these incidents.

And to your point earlier, you know, it's really a doomsday scenario for these farmers, but it's been reality for the handful. of folks in that area. And it's just a day long, eight hour, you know, we're watching the live stream. We're trying to coordinate with folks on the ground and help them deal with it as it unfolds.
