Former child star, actress and animal rights activist Pamelyn Ferdin was scheduled to make an appearance in Federal Court on March 3 to appeal her conviction and 30 day sentence stemming from a protest at a circus.
Ferdin was arrested in the 2000 protest when two college security officers observed her carrying a bull hook which she was showing to passers by.
State Judge John Gunn found her guilty and sentenced her to 30 days in jail. Ferdin appealed and the appeal is scheduled to be decided by the 9th Circuit Federal Court of Appeals in Pasadena, California.
