While DxE is against factory farms in general, they’re especially indignant with Talyor’s Rembrandt Enterprises because of the farm’s use of ventilation shutdown plus (VSD+),...
In the second quarter of Timberwolves’ Play-in win over the Clippers, the game had to be stopped because a woman glued herself to the court. That’s right, she glued herself to the court. The woman, Alicia Santurio, a Bay Area member of DxE, glued herself to the court while wearing a t-shirt that read in big letters, “GLEN TAYLOR ROASTS ANIMALS ALIV...
DxE continued to try and raise awareness about their investigation in Minnesota’s Game 2 victory at FedEx Forum in Memphis. During the second quarter, a DxE organizer named Zoe Rosenberg chained herself to the basket stanchion while wearing the same “GLEN TAYLOR ROASTS ANIMALS” shirt Santurio wore.

Once supportive social media posts turned negative as ...
