Conviction & Convictions: Local Activist Zoe Rosenberg on Her Felony Conspiracy Sentencing, and Oh Yea, Meat #TrueCrimeTuesday

from Up + Adam with Adam Montiel · host Adam Montiel

On this True Crime Tuesday, Adam sits down with Zoe Rosenberg, an animal rights activist from San Luis Obispo who’s no stranger to headlines. From being tackled on an NBA court to getting arrested at Cal Poly at just 15, Zoe’s activism has been bold, controversial, and now convicted.In her first exclusive local interview, Zoe talks about the felony charges she just caught for taking chickens from a Petaluma poultry facility. She calls it a rescue. Prosecutors called it theft. Either way, the jury found her guilty. But Zoe doesn’t flinch, not even when Adam asks her straight up, “Do you think people should have the right to eat meat?” Her answer: “I don’t.”No matter where you stand, this is a fair and honest conversation. Zoe answers every question, and Adam doesn’t hold back. They talk about DxE’s tactics, the blurred lines between civil disobedience and criminal conduct, and the real-life consequences of activism taken to the edge.Hit play.
