There has been a rush of media coverage about the trial of Compassionate Consumers investigator Adam Durand. Here are some of the articles.
The May 10 Rochester City Newspaper article.
The May 7 New York Times article. The piece is about the ongoing efforts of Adam Durand, Compassionate Consumers, and animal protection groups nationwide to pressure companies to go cage-free and educate consumers about the cruelties of battery cage egg production.
The Finger Lakes Times articles from May 5. Below the first article about Adam's acquittal is a second about Wegmans allowing reporters to visit the farm and what the reporter saw. The second article claims that Wegmans waved biosecurity measures for the reporters. One has to wonder how strict these measures really are when they can be waved so frivolously.
The May 4 Associated Press article as it appeared on WashingtonPost.com. The AP story has also appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Houston Chronicle, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Guardian Unlimited (United Kingdom), and many other publications worldwide.
The Rochester ABC 13 segment from May 4. The segment includes footage that Wegmans allowed ABC 13 to take inside the egg facility. After the acquittal of Adam on burglary and petit larceny charges, Wegmans, realizing the jury had recognized the egregious cruelty at the company's 700,000 egg facility, decided to wave its supposedly "strict" biosecurity standards in order to get some positive media coverage.
The Rochester CBS 8 story from May 4.
