Vegan Influencer Arrested After 'Rescue Mission' Of Six Piglets From Slaughterhouse
SOURCE-A vegan activist who 'rescued' six piglets from a farm was caught after documenting the entire late-night raid on Instagram.
Brianna Lee Thauer, 21, was arrested over the break-in near Toowoomba, Queensland, on November 10.
Photos and footage posted to her social media pages followed Thauer as she showed the conditions inside the barn.
I'm a meat eater. I plan on being a meat eater for the rest of my life. However, that being said, I respect this vegan activist/influencer for stepping up to the plate.
Thauer pleaded guilty to entering the piggery with intent and stealing the six piglets in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Wednesday.
The court heard her social media videos and photos of the piglets led police to her, and more were found on her mobile phone.
GPS coordinates attached to the metadata confirmed they were shot at the piggery, proving that she was involved in the theft.
Maybe not the best idea to make your crime known on social media, but then again, it brought her attention and that's the most valuable form of currency on Instagram. Also, I know bacon is good, but piglets are also very cute.
Thauer, who has 'do no harm' and 'take no s**t' tattooed under her breasts, said she wanted to find a way to give the money to charity instead.
Hahahahaha. For a vegan, this girl is awesome. Here is a visual of those tattoos:
