> value of those 2 piglets is pretty much 0 dollars

It’s like a hundred or $200 [1]. The same amount as a package of mine that was recently signed for and pilfered. The NYPD assigner a detective and co-ordinated with our City Council. (Note: they initially ignored the case. I had to call my City Councilman’s office to prod them.)

I’m not saying it’s not politically motivated. But one needs more proof than an activist group going under cover and stealing piglets getting pursued by the FBI. More probable: the identity of the perpetrators pissed off the farms, moving them from “meh, shit got stolen” to “write letters to everyone” mode. Law enforcement reacts when you document and follow up with them and their politicians, irrespective of who you are.

The article you link to says:

I am not sure if a half dead piglet counts as a "decent" pig.
