BURLINGTON, Ont. – A woman who gave cool water to hot pigs on their way to slaughter last year is expected to take the stand in her own defence today.
Anita Krajnc, an activist with the group Toronto Pig Save, has pleaded not guilty to a mischief charge in the June 2015 incident.
Krajnc freely admits to feeding water to the pigs, but contends it wasn’t illegal for her to do so.
Today is the third court date in the trial, which started in late August.
On previous days, the court heard from the truck driver who was transporting the pigs to a Burlington, Ont., slaughterhouse.
Jeffrey Veldjesgraaf testified that it wasn’t unusual for Krajnc and other animal rights activists to offer water to the pigs, and the Fearman’s Pork slaughterhouse has never turned away the animals he hauls there because of it.
