Anita Kranjc was arrested again yesterday near a Burlington pork processing plant.

Currently on trial for offering water to slaughter-bound pigs, the Toronto resident was detained at the scene of a rolled livestock truck transporting some 180 pigs to Fearmans Pork.

Reports varied on the number of hogs killed in the accident.

Kranjc was charged with obstructing police and breach of recognizance at the scene of the rollover, but has been released on promise to appear, according to a release from Halton Regional Police Service.

Police contained the scene to collect the animals, however according to CBC, Kranjc breached the boundary repeatedly.

Cause of the accident was still being investigated by HRPS.

Throughout her arrest, Kranjc broadcasted her actions on social media.

“I’m currently speaking to you from a cab in a police car and the pigs are being herded off to the kill floor,” she said in a self-recorded video. “They should be shown mercy and not being herded to the gas chambers.”

Protestors have voiced their opinion in front of this plant previously. Arrested in 2015 at the same intersection, Kranjc is awaiting Day 4 of her current trial on Nov. 1.
