Animal Justice fights trespass law


Animal Justice is continuing its fight against Ontario’s 2020 law that aims to prevent animal rights activists from trespassing on farms.

It has appealed to the Supreme Court to review the Ontario court decision that upheld the law.

“If granted, we’ll be taking our fight to our nation’s highest court to argue that Ontario’s dangerous agricultural gag law is unconstitutional,” said Kaitlyn Mitchell, lawyer and Animal Justice’s director of legal advocacy.

“We are fighting with everything we have for the chance to strike down Ontario’s ag gag law once and for all.”.

“We are fighting with everything we have for the chance to strike down Ontario’s ag gag law once and for all,” she said.

Farmers support the law which they hope will end under-cover video taping inside livestock and poultry barns.
