Putting Laughter in The Slaughterhouse Lockdown

Bold animal rights activists from Direct Action Everywhere stormed an industrial duck farm and slaughterhouse, locking their necks to the slaughter line to halt the killing of the animals in Petaluma, California on June 3rd, 2019. After the slaughter line was stopped, Thomas Chiang along with other activists locked themselves to the slaughter line. The slaughter line restarted, strangling Thomas Chiang in the process. One of the slaughterhouse workers rushed in, taking hold of the slaughter line in an attempt to stop it from advancing. The camera operator held Thomas Chiang up to take pressure off his neck. It is unknown how the line was stopped again, but Thomas Chiang was unlocked by activists.
