Several activists were prosecuted for actions against a "1000 cow" farm in the Amiens area. The "farm" is in fact a factory and local farmers are up in arms against what they see as factory farming, a threat to the traditional way of raising cattle.
The court decision is expected today and farmers and anti-industrial activists are expected to converge on the town to give their support. "Farms not factories" is the slogan of the protesters and demonstrations are expected in over 20 towns around France today.
