Three animal rights activists were found guilty of stealing lambs from the King's Sandringham estate.
Three animal rights activists—Rose Patterson, Rosa Sharkey and Sarah Foy—were convicted of theft at Norwich Crown Court after taking three lambs from Appleton Farm in Norfolk. The defendants told police they believed the King would have consented to the lambs' rescue because he is an environmentalist and animal lover and the animals were not his primary income source.
