Activist killed after being struck by vehicle during Burlington pig plant protest
An animal activist protest in Burlington has turned deadly after Halton police say a vehicle struck and killed one of the activists.
The fatal accident happened Friday morning at the Fearman's Pork Inc., meat processing plant on Harvester Road, between Appleby Line and South Service Road.
Halton police said the victim was a woman in her 60s. They have sent their victims services unit to the scene.
The plant has long been a location for animal rights protesters to gather at the entrance gate and who often give water to the pigs in the trucks waiting to get into the plant.
