Canadian vegan faces 10 yrs for giving slaughter house pigs water on hot day

Gee Dannno, even though we disagree about almost everything when it comes to diet, I actually thought you would have a reasonable response to the subject matter.

Have you ever lived in the country or worked on a farm?

 

[oyarde]

Private property is private property , anyone messing with my hogs would likely be feed to them.

Been to both. What's your point?

 

[farreri]

How was this woman messin with his hogs again and what was the temperature that day?

That's not a answer. I've been to a lot of places.

This has already been explained. These people can't depend on some SJW type to tell the truth. Their livelihood is at stake. He had no way of telling what she was giving them.

No I haven't. What's your point?

The sentence is probably a bit harsh, but as others have pointed out it is possible they could have damaged the property and made them unsellable. It would be tough to prove all they did was poor water on the pigs, even if they can reclaim some water and test it.

I think some people here are applying terrorism charges essentially, when it may not have been, but it certainly could have been, but I suppose one would have to prove that in court if they wanted that kind of harsh sentence. Throwing water on something is pretty harmless, but someone trying to do actual harm could hide behind that sorta thing as well.

 

[Origanalist]

No I haven't. What's your point?

My point is you come from a entirely different culture and try to force your sensibilities on people who don't live in the same world as you do. People who aren't city people despise people like her, for good reason.

If you don't want to eat meat, don't eat meat. But don't go screwing with things you don't know anything about.

The guy's livelihood is in that trailer; you don't mess with that.

If anything, she was helping his livelihood because pigs arriving in his truck dead from dehydration probably don't sell well and may get him fined from Canadian animal welfare authorities.

I'm with [MENTION=36228]farreri[/MENTION] on this one.

I'm no vegan but animals should be taken care of; they are living creatures- I don't consider them private property but critters that I have the duty & blessing to take care of.

And it isn't rocket science to figure out if it was really water. The possible sentencing is ridiculous.

 

[Origanalist]

I remember years ago when some of these idiots let all the minks loose on a mink farm near me because they didn't like the way they were being treated. They all died a pretty miserable death one way or another. Whether it predators, cars or starvation-dehydration, the bodies were strewn for miles.

Ya think?!

So that's why she's facing 10 yrs in prison, because they proved she secretly had poison in her water bottle?! Animal rights activists usually don't poison animals they are trying to save. This is starting to sound like nutty conspiracy talk.

Bullshit. There you go assuming you know something you don't. This is what they do for a living, he's not going to deliver a bunch of dead pigs.

Thank you! Finally someone is rational around here. I wonder why liberty people get accused of being heartless?!

 

[Chester Copperpot]

meanwhile none of these crazy activists recognize they are eating plants and that plants are sentient beings aware of their surroundings.

From that brief clip how can you tell if they were dehydrated and being abused or not?

How's that similar to this woman giving some thirsty pigs crammed in a truck some water on a sweltering day?

You are insane. And devoid of any logical argument from the facts that have been provided.
