Woman Gives Water To Pigs Set For Slaughter And Receives A Slaying Of Her Own

Hold onto your hats, folks: compassion is now punishable by law.

On a hot June day in Toronto, Anita Krajnc, the founder of Toronto Pig Save captured on video the mistreatment of pigs being transported in harsh conditions while she gave them some water. Toronto Save Pig is a vegan, non-violence-based organization that holds weekly vigils for farm animals on their way to regional slaughterhouses.

When Krajnc approached a stationary Van Boekel Hog Farm transport truck in Burlington, Canada she asked a fellow activist to give the pigs some water. The driver of the truck became angry and a dispute began. In the end, Krajnc had charges brought up against her for her piece of humanity toward the animals.

The animals were being treated unfairly as they were transported from farm to slaughterhouse. According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency pigs (and all animals) must be treated mercifully as they are transported, even if they are being sent to their demise.

Unlike humans, pigs don’t have sweat glands, so in the humid summer heat, the animals were highly uncomfortable, and while they are capable of panting, it does very little for the animals compared to what panting does for dogs.

The animals in the video are shown suffering from heat distress, yet they are not being shown compassion by their transporter.

According to Krajnc’s statement on Facebook, when she attempted to show these animals kindness, she had charges brought up against her. “I’m being charged with criminal mischief (Mischief under $5000, Section 430(b) Criminal Code) – interference with the use, enjoyment of and operation of property.” This is all for giving water to animals set to die.
