“ is working hard to protect the safety and security of our farmers, our food processors and the sector as a whole so nothing is off the table at this time,” Yufest said in a statement. In May, the Ontario Federation of Agriculture — speaking on behalf of eight livestock producer associations — expressed disappointment when charges were dropped against an animal rights activist who allegedly trespassed on a Lucan, Ont., hog barn and took two animals.
The executive director of animal protection group Animal Justice said Hardeman’s comments are troubling and could result in the government trampling activists’ rights. “The reason that we’re seeing animal advocates going onto farms is because it’s the only way for them to see the conditions animals are kept without any regulations, without any government inspections,” she said. “The public has no way of understanding what happens on farms so citizens are taking these matters into their own hands.”
Dépends on what you consider overzealous ! Who will make scale of zealousness ?
Corrrection: Ontario Premier who is really a pig and not a human afraid to get slaughtered by the general public
Maybe reconsider the gun ban for rural areas
Pretty sure that trespassing, break and enter, etc are already in the criminal code.
Good idea.
Good It's about time someone held them accountable for putting people, animals and our food system at risk
Trumpesque!
