          Whistleblowers exposed the disturbing reality behind the “humane”
          marketing at a Norbest turkey farm in Utah, and the company’s own CEO
          called their findings “disturbing.” Two activists were facing felony
          "theft" charges for rescuing a few sick turkeys from the farm, but the
          owner of Norbest came out against the prosecutions and has even
          released turkeys to the activists for the last four years. In November
          2021, the charges were officially "dismissed by compromise." The
          dismissal order stated that “all parties agree that there is
          legitimate concern and passion about our food system” and “all parties
          agree that the criminalization of nonviolent investigation and rescue
          is unnecessary.” This is a win for the right to rescue!
