Animal rights activist arrested on vandalism charges
03:27 PM CDT on Wednesday, September 12, 2007
A man wanted on charges of vandalizing a local restaurant as part of an
animal rights protest has been arrested.

Joshua Rosenberg, 29, taken into custody on Sunday.
He is charged with criminal mischief for spray painting a Congress Avenue
restaurant that sells fois gras -- a goose or duck liver.
Critics say the animals are cruelly-treated because they are force-fed to
fatten up their livers.
Animal rights activist wanted by police
Thursday afternoon, one week after someone vandalized the windows outside
Restaurant Jezebel downtown - you could still see the acid marks.
The vandal wrote "spit it out" across the front windows.
Police say the statement refers to the dish foie gras - which is served at
Jezebel.
Foie gras is goose or duck liver. The animals are force-fed before
slaughter.
It's a practice - that draws weekly protests outside Jezebel.
Members of the group Central Texas Animal Defense say foie gras is inhumane.
"For 3 months we've been harassed - our customers have been harassed," said
Parind Vora, Jezebel Owner and Chef.
Vora says after his restaurant was hit by vandals in July - he knew he had
to fight back.
"After the first vandalism, we put up cameras. Some are hidden - some are
not. He killed the power to the building hoping it killed the cameras... but
we had battery back-up."
Surveillance cameras caught the vandal on camera last week.
You can see him writing on the windows outside.
Police say he is Joshua Rosenberg.
On his myspace.com page he says he fights for human and animal rights.
"Unfortunately, they're taking matters into their own hands and damaging
property which is not the way to go about it," said APD Detective James
Mason.
Police say Rosenberg posted pictures of the vandalism on a website
registered to him.
They also say protestors knew him and identified him as the vandal.
"These people threatened my family. They used acid on my windows. All of
them are completely destroyed," said Vora.
He says he has no problem with demonstrating - but he should not fear for
his safety - or that of his family.
Rosenberg is charged with criminal mischief. He has not been arrested.
