Richard John Yntema pleaded guilty to three charges laid by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and has been handed a 12-month conditional sentence.
He fed meat to livestock.
In addition to the sentence, his abattoir was shut down and the judge said he “cannot own, operate, or participate in the operations of any other abattoir for the duration of these orders.”
If he rents his abattoir, he must provide the CFIA with a copy of the rental agreement and ensure it complies with the court orders.
He must remove all slaughter waste from the property within six months.
He must remove wild boar and any other pigs within seven days.
He was charged with eight breaches of the law in April of last year.
The court case was heard at Salmon River, British Columbia.
