COURT CALENDAR
From ANIMAL PEOPLE, September 1994:
Activism
Forty-two activists who were
arrested at the 1992 Hegins Labor Day
pigeon shoot on July 15 sued 16 employ-
ees and officials of Schuykill County,
Pennsylvania, who allegedly subjected
them to illegal strip-searches. The plain-
tiffs include PETA cofounders Alex
Pacheco and Ingrid Newkirk, who claims
male guards were able to see her nude
through an open door. The suit parallels
one filed by nine female activists who won
a similar case after the 1991 Hegins shoot.
U.S. judge Franklin S, Van Antwerpen
ruled last September in that case that the
Schuykill county strip-searching policy
was unconstitutional.
