The NFL players should have feared for their life when strange people are able to make it past security and onto the field. Were those chemicals deadly? Were those on the field armed? Who knows.... self defense was used.
has anyone ventured into the righttorescue website?
I didn't go to the website precisely because I didn't want to give them any clicks, but I found the information in a news story about the original incident.
They are animal rights

Direct Action Everywhere is a grassroots protest organization that advertised the stunt on their Instagram page prior to it taking place.
Taylor was not alone, his partner in crime, Allison Fluty, was tackled by security before she could get to the field.
Quote:
The goal of the protest was to highlight the Smithfield Trial in which two members of the group, Paul Darwin Picklesimer and Wayne Hsiung, are accused of smuggling two piglets from the Circle Flour Farms in Utah in 2017.
Three other activists were charged in the case but took plea deals from prosecutors. The farm in question is owned by Smithfield Foods.
The trial began on Monday. Both Taylor and Fluty are from the Bay Area. The pair's t-shirts read 'RighttoRescue.'
Taylor said prior to the protest: 'Smithfield will do anything to shield its abuses and protect its profits. We must take action to stop the violence and create a better future for us all.'
A month ago, two DAE activists disrupted the LA Rams opening game of the season against the Buffalo Bills. While earlier this year, the group interrupted a Minnesota Timberwolves game.
Basically several of these morons buddies snuck onto a pig farm with a video camera and claimed that the farm was mistreating the pigs. In order to save some of the animals from this abuse, the group stole 2 piglets that they claimed were "going to die".
The "right to rescue" they are advocating for is the right to steal animals that the braintrust of this group determines are in danger in some way shape or form.
