    Seems like the next option is to arrange for mass arrests in a very public direct action. Massively overflow the jail in that judge’s district with animal rights activists until they’re forced to dismiss the cases.

        direct action with the goal of filling jails has a long and very successful history, going back AT LEAST to the IWW Free Speech Fights. It also saw widespread success during the fight for Civil Rights.

            There hasn’t been any “fill the jail” protests in the US since the civil rights movement due to the demonization of getting arrested. However, a protest like that has been occurring in Pakistan
