California racetrack suing animal-rights activists for disrupting horse racing: report
Fox News
Four animal-rights activists who were arrested in California earlier this month for disrupting a day of racing at a horse track are now being sued by the track's owners, according to a report.
The suit names as defendants the Berkeley-based group Direct Action Everywhere and four members, identified as Omar Aicardi, 43, of Modesto; Rachel Ziegler, 28, and James Crom, 29, both of Oakland; and Rocky Chau, 32, of San Francisco, according to the report. The four activists are accused of climbing a fence so they could lie down on the horse track and interrupt the day of racing, the report said. All four were later arrested, cited for trespassing and released, police in Albany, Calif., where the track is located, told FOX 2.More Related News
