New Zealand Open Rescue was formed in 2006 by a collective of animal rights activists from across New Zealand. The organisation uses non-violent direct action and civil disobedience to promote awareness and create change on the issue of factory farming, most notably of pigs and egg laying hens. Tactics undertaken include rescuing animals from factory farms, conducting investigations inside factory farms, carrying out peaceful protests, documentary making and various public out-reach activities. The activists involved follow the international model of Open rescue by openly identifying themselves and accepting any legal repercussions which may arise as a result of their actions for factory farmed animals. ==First rescue of battery hens== New Zealand Open Rescue's first action was the rescue of 20 battery hens from Turks Poultry Farm in Foxton, New Zealand in 2006. Activist Mark Eden, spokesperson for the rescue, was arrested and charged with burglary for his part in the action. Eden argued in a jury trial that he had acted to challenge the legal property status of animals and that his intent was not to steal property but to mitigate suffering. Owner of the farm, Johannes Turk, was critical of Eden and his fellow activists during the court case saying "You're being charged here, not me. To you people, you shouldn't eat eggs, you shouldn't eat meat. You're anti-everything". Eden was found guility and sentenced to 150 hours community service. The action received national media coverage and brought the practice of farming hens in cages under public scrutiny.
