Water for Pigs Trial

[Catherine]

I think they went after her so strongly because she showed an act of kindness to pigs bound for slaughter. Her action did not endanger anyone physically. What it did was endanger the way we pretend that we don't see live animals being trucked to slaughterhouses. She forced people to see the pigs as animals in need, suffering because of what we choose to do to them.
They responded to her act of kindness. People can't forget their faces. People want to eat neatly processed pork, they do not want to eat an animal that looks to them for help.

However, it is sounding like the  crown doesn't have much of a case.
I think there will be a good outcome.

If Anita is sent to jail she will generate even more publicity. I don't think they want that.
