An Ontario woman is being charged with mischief because she gave water to a truck full of pigs bound for slaughter.
Anita was moved by the sight of pigs in transport trucks heading to slaughter houses. She founded Toronto Pig Save. She protests, but she also gives thirsty pigs water from a water bottle.
The people who plan to kill the pigs don't like that. They don't want the pigs to have water or anything else that might make their last hours more comfortable.
So this time the trucker fought with her and then he called the police. The next day they came to her house and charged her with mischief. Apparently it is considered a crime to do a kindness to an animal that is about to be killed.
I really hope the charges are thrown out. It would be too weird if the guy who is doing something cruel to an animal gets to charge the one who is being kind to them.

How bad is our system when you can be charged for an act of kindness. Pigs arrive at the slaughter houses already dead regularly. So clearly the transport method is cruel and endangering animals. Why is the truck driver or the pig owner not being charged?
