11 Animal Activists Convicted for Showing Pig Conditions

Well-known Canadian animal activist Jenny McQueen and some of her co-defendants join us to discuss their guilty verdicts for breaking and entering and obstructing a peace officer. In 2019, they entered a Canadian pig breeding facility in a Direct Action Everywhere campaign and videotaped the horrific conditions, demanding action for the helpless animals in very grim conditions. While handing down the guilty verdicts, even the judge noted that “several of those images are impactful, poignant, troubling, and disturbing.” So, why are they being punished for blowing the whistle? UnchainedTV’s Jane Velez-Mitchell hosts this compelling panel discussion.
