The remaining three are being charged with a total of 14 indictable offenses for break and enter, and mischief at the Excelsior Hog Farm in Abbotsford, BC in early 2019, where many hours of video footage were recorded and live-streamed to the public, displaying egregious cruelties and horrendous welfare conditions for the 14,000 pigs who reside at the barn at any given time.<\/p>\n<p>The farm co-owner, Calvin Binnendyk, reported this week that he sends 26,000 pigs to slaughter each year, selling them for $200 a piece. That comes to a (gross) annual profit of $5.3 million for the lives of these feeling souls who are raised at the barn \u201cfrom farrow to slaughter\u201d, where they endure their entire lives never seeing daylight and living in the filthiest and toxic conditions that promote illnesses such as large hernias, tumours and infections on their bodies; cannibalization of the pigs who die from illness; and stereotypic repetitive behaviors from going insane in their confinement.<\/p>\n<p>In this exclusive interview with Roy Sasano and Nick Schafer, who joined us in the studio, we learn the both exciting and disappointing details of the first four days in court, which include being barred from showing any video evidence whatsoever to the jury that display many legal violations in the barn, proving the farm to be an unlawfully utilized property. The Judge deemed \u201canimal mistreatment to be irrelevant in this case.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_12462\" style=\"width: 405px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12462\" class=\" wp-image-12462\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/animalvoices.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Excelsior-trial-rally-June-27th.jpg?resize=395%2C263&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"395\" height=\"263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/animalvoices.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Excelsior-trial-rally-June-27th.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/animalvoices.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Excelsior-trial-rally-June-27th.jpg?resize=1024%2C684&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/animalvoices.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Excelsior-trial-rally-June-27th.jpg?resize=768%2C513&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/animalvoices.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Excelsior-trial-rally-June-27th.jpg?resize=1536%2C1025&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/animalvoices.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Excelsior-trial-rally-June-27th.jpg?resize=560%2C374&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/animalvoices.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Excelsior-trial-rally-June-27th.jpg?resize=260%2C174&amp;ssl=1 260w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/animalvoices.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Excelsior-trial-rally-June-27th.jpg?resize=160%2C107&amp;ssl=1 160w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/animalvoices.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Excelsior-trial-rally-June-27th.jpg?w=2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/animalvoices.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Excelsior-trial-rally-June-27th.jpg?w=1720&amp;ssl=1 1720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 395px) 100vw, 395px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-12462\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The rally from Day 1 of the trial (June 27th) to show support for the animals and the accused activists in this case.

In this bonus material, we speak about the misbehaviours of the the farmers\u2019 family in the gallery during court (the viewing room for the public), and speak at length about the conditions of the pigs of the barn, as we witnessed them ourselves. Meat the Victims activist Kira Cheeseborough joins us in this part to describe her experiences. We also learn the vegan stories about Roy and Nick (did you know that they were both die-hard anti-vegans at one point?!).<\/p>\n<p>Ways to help:<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"pq6dq46d tbxw36s4 knj5qynh kvgmc6g5 ditlmg2l oygrvhab nvdbi5me sf5mxxl7 gl3lb2sf hhz5lgdu\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.xx.fbcdn.net\/images\/emoji.php\/v9\/t9e\/1\/16\/27a1.png\" alt=\"\u27a1\ufe0f\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\"\/><\/span> ATTEND TRIAL!

Since founding PETA in 1980, Ingrid has grown the group into the world\u2019s largest animal rights organization. Her passion and dedication to making this world a better place for all living beings has inspired countless others to do what they can to help animals.<\/p>\n<p>Since its beginnings, PETA has exposed horrific animal abuse in laboratories, leading to many firsts, including canceled funding, closed facilities, seizure of animals, and charges filed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. PETA has also closed the largest horse-slaughter operation in North America, convinced dozens of major designers and hundreds of companies to stop using fur, ended all car-crash tests on animals, helped schools switch to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.peta2.com\/TAKECHARGE\/t-dissection.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">innovative animal-free dissection tools<\/a>, and provided millions of people with information on being\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.peta.org\/living\/food\/free-vegan-starter-kit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vegan<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.peta.org\/issues\/companion-animal-issues\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">companion animal care<\/a>, and countless other issues.<\/p>\n<p>Ingrid is an abolitionist who remains committed to the idea that animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment. Ingrid is also a prolific author \u2013 she has written many books \u2013 and in this interview, she speaks about her 30th Anniversary edition book called \u201cFree the Animals: The Amazing True Story of the Animal Liberation Front in North America\u201d. The ALF is an international,\u00a0<a title=\"Leaderless resistance\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Leaderless_resistance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">leaderless<\/a>, decentralized political and social resistance movement that engages in and promotes non-violent\u00a0<a title=\"Direct action\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Direct_action\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">direct action<\/a> in protest against incidents of animal cruelty, much like the Meat the Victims world-wide actions and the undercover actions of the Excelsior 4 activists.

As you may know, Peta was the organization that delivered the first undercover video footage of the Excelsior Hog Farm to the mainstream media in 2019 (CTV News). With Ingrid\u2019s wisdom and many years of being a pioneer of the animal liberation movement, she shares her thoughts and advice to Roy and Nick on their path to fighting for the animals and achieving success in this endeavour.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This is a show not to be missed!
