would Krajnc still be acquitted? Why or why not?

This assignment is intended as an opportunity for you to demonstrate your comprehension of
course materials and your ability to reason / present an argument about a given topic.
For this assignment, you are asked to write an essay answering this question:
If Anita Krajnc gave water to thirsty pigs today, then she would likely be charged with an
offence under Ontario’s Security from Trespass and Protecting Food Safety Act. What do
you think: would Krajnc still be acquitted? Why or why not?
Your essay must use at least three of the following course resources:
– R. v. Krajnc
– Anita Krajnc, “Bearing Witness”
– Maneesha Deckka, “The ‘Pig Trial’ Decision”
– Jodi Lazare, “Ag-Gag Laws, Animal Rights Activism, and the Constitution”
– Jodi Lazare, “Animal Rights Activism and the Constitution”
– Centre for Free Expression, “Ag-Gag Laws and the Public’s Right to Know”
In addition to general reliance on these sources to demonstrate your comprehension and support
your points, your essay needs to include at least three direct quotations overall.
Your essay can also use additional sources from this course. When using lecture, please cite this
as appropriate.
Outside research is not required, but it is welcome as a way to potentially strengthen your points.
That said, keep in mind that outside research should generally be relied on only for things not
covered in the course readings themselves (e.g., your paper should not use an outside source to
define legal personhood, although it may rely on an outside source to explain other alternatives
to personhood).
