Local animal activists took to the street Monday, Aug. 26, 2013, to protest pig slaughtering. The “vigil” was held at the intersection of County Road 46 and the Ninth Concession in Tecumseh, Ont. A handful of people, from a group called Windsor Animal Activists, waved cardboard signs at passing cars. They also had water and watermelon slices ready to feed pigs en route to the slaughterhouse, but no trucks drove by. The group wants to teach people about what happens to pigs at slaughterhouses like nearby Weston Abattoirs. (DAN JANISSE/The Windsor Star)
