More than 60 'Meat the Victims' animal rights activists rushed into Excelsior Hog Farm in late April 2019, with dozens sitting in solidarity with pigs.
BC LOCAL NEWS: Four people are facing break-and-enter and mischief charges linked to a large protest at an Abbotsford hog farm last year in British Columbia. Last year, dozens of activists stormed a Harris Road hog farm to protest what they said was the inhumane treatment of animals at the site. More than 60 people rushed into Excelsior Hog Farm in late April 2019, with dozens sitting “in solidarity” with pigs…
The protest took less place than a month after PETA released hidden-camera footage which it said showed horrific conditions of animals at the farm. The farm’s owners disputed the allegations, and although the SPCA opened an investigation, it later closed it, saying the footage had been obtained illegally and couldn’t be used in court…
One person, Amy Sorrano, was arrested during the April 28 incident and was already facing charges. Now three more people have been charged. And they, along with Soranno, are charged not only in connection with the hog farm protest, but with offences on at least four separate days prior to the protest.
According to court documents, Jeff Luke Rigear, Roy Makoto Sasano, Nicholas Steven George Schafer and Soranno all face break-and-enter and mischief charges for an offence dated to Feb. 9, more than two months prior to the protest… The four are scheduled to appear in court in early September.
