Direct Action Everywhere

They'll just put that in there.

We've seen them explicitly name an animal rights group called Direct Action Everywhere.

Their initials are DXE.

We see them put DXE in there quite frequently.

The, this is, a lot of this is grassroots, but I think PETA is, is in this area.

Um, really DXE, uh, though, you know, I'm not, I don't wanna speak for them.

I mean, certainly they are animal rights advocates, but they, I, I'm not sure how they overlap with other movements 'cause they're kind of like, their diet change philosophy is a little different than some people's.

But, uh, and, you know, this is, I don't think it's, it, th- this could be aligned with religion if we ever got any religion to act responsibly about animals.

I, um, I know Aidan.

I've met him, uh, at, as part of the Direct Action Everywhere actions a few years ago, um, and he was part of Animal...

I think he was, been in different movements.

Um, you know, he's part of, uh, uh, some large group now, um, Anima or something.

There's a lot happening in Northern California.

We're starting to see this group called Direct Action Everywhere targeting LA.

So I would encourage anyone, if they're in the California area, to go take action on our website and then become a member.

Sign up if you are a pet owner to get activated.

And so he granted what was called a motion to compel, allowing us to obtain additional information as to what the exact relationship was between the prosecutor and the farm.

Direct Action Everywhere had discovered evidence of cruelty at the dairy.

Is there any indication that the local authorities will be investigating that seriously?

So far, none at all, unfortunately.

So who's behind this? Pro-Animal Colorado is the local chapter of a national organization called Pro-Animal Future.

Its co-founder, Adian Kanyuka, I don't know, call somebody that cares, got his start in 2015 as an organizer right here in Colorado with a group called Direct Action Everywhere.

Hmm.

Wanted to figure out who that was.

And we'll go into that a little bit more.

The attorney, activist, co-founder of Direct Action Everywhere, Simple Heart Initiative founder.

He's the man of the hour for sure.

If we can talk to Wayne Chung for a second, because he's the one who initiated the takedown of the Ridgeland Beagle facility in Wisconsin.
