Summer vacations are on everyone’s minds, but one vacation you don’t want to take is a vacation from plant security. Animal rights activists don’t take a break from activism, so plants shouldn’t take a break from security.
Groups such as Direct Action Everywhere and the Animal Save Movement are known for holding protests and vigils in various locations, including outside of processing plants. The Save Movement tries to stop drivers so they can “bear witness” to the animals before going to slaughter. This is potentially dangerous for drivers, the animals, the protesters and a company’s reputation.
