A woman tried to glue herself to the basketball court at Tuesday night's Minnesota Timberwolves game to protest the bird-flu prevention killing of chickens at an Iowa egg company owned by Glen Taylor, who also co-owns the NBA team.
The woman, identified as Alicia Santurio by the animal rights group Direct Action Everywhere, was taken into custody by Target Center security officials. They gave her a trespassing notice that warned another infraction would lead to police involvement.
Direct Action Everywhere seeks to prevent what its members consider to be abusive treatment of animals by the food industry. Earlier Tuesday, the group released video that it said showed the aftermath of a "ventilation shut down plus," or VSD+, operation at the Rembrandt Enterprises facility in Spirit Lake, Iowa, last month.
