'She feels compelled to expose what she describes as atrocities,' the judge said of activist Amy Soranno.
Two animal rights protesters convicted of breaking into an Abbotsford pig farm have been given 30-day jail sentences to be served intermittently.
“They also believe that standard industry practices involved in what they describe as factory farming of animals for meat are cruel and constitute animal abuse,” he said. There were initially four activists accused of breaking and entering and mischief; the group said it was for filming alleged “horrific animal cruelty” at the farm. Other charges were dropped.
“Allowing citizens to break the law as they see fit in order to achieve political objectives is anathema to the maintenance of a just, peaceful and safe society,” he said. On the day of the break and enter, Jeff Binnendyk was woken up by an alarm. Family members soon found 50 protesters inside barns and another 150 outside.Police soon arrived but Sorrano demanded media be allowed in with cameras, a tour which eventually took place.
