Woman will go to trial for giving water to pigs

[Catherine]

Some of you will remember the story of Anita who founded Toronto Pig Save. On a very hot day she gave water from a bottle to pigs in a truck heading to the slaughterhouse. The pigs were clearly suffering.

She was charged with mischief. Now there has been a preliminary hearing and she will have a trial next August. She could end up sentenced to 10 years in jail.

This article is a negative reaction to her. You can see how strong the feelings are.

Maybe it is true that the real problem is the slaughterhouse situation(it is more than that), but does that in any way make it wrong for people to ease the suffering of a pig.
Why is it so wrong to want the animals to suffer less before they die.

It is not wrong to want to ease their suffering. We can't change the system right now, but we can give water to a thirsty pig.
It doesn't speak highly of our legal system that she was charged and even worse they have set a trial date.
