PETA'S letter to Larry William Beechey of the Deputy Commissioner of the Ontario Provincial Police.

Larry William Beechey, Deputy Commissioner
Ontario Provincial Police
Dear Deputy Commissioner William Beechey:
I write about the 4 October crash outside of Toronto of a tractor trailer transport 235 pig slaughter on quality meat Packers Ltd. about 74 pigs were allegedly killed on impact of died in the hours that followed as a result of the terrible injuries and trauma related; another seven apparently were killed by the police and workers at the scene. on behalf of our more than 2 million members and supporters worldwide PETA — including tens of thousands of people in Canada, we ask that the Ontario Provincial Police continue to investigate this incident and, if knowledge justifies, prosecuting the driver of the truck (a non-identified 26-year-old from Norwich, Ontario) cruelty to animals in accordance with the Criminal Code of Canada ("code").
Section 445.1 (1) (a) of the code provides that an offence if he or she intentionally caused ' unnecessary pain, suffering or injury to an animal, "while article 446.(1)(a), to criminalise the behavior that is one "by means of a deliberate neglect damage or cause injury to animals animals ... While they are being driven."Both sections allow the lack of "exercise reasonable care of an animal ..." as a result, caused him or her pain, suffering, damage or injury is evidence that these effects of neglect, about that there is no doubt that these pigs were caused intentionally,. We believe that this driver clear speeding and careless driving — for which he was reportedly charged — are not to exercise reasonable care that the code refers to and means so that their suffering has been caused intentionally.
I witnessed the aftermath of such accidents and have seen the mangled remains of animals who have been killed by the impact. I have weakened, terrified and distressed survivors be dragged by the ears, electro-shocked and forced upon replacement trucks bound for the slaughterhouse, and I saw the worst off killed with a device that is in a bolt in their brains stations — a device that sometimes failures. only one should not have seen a crash scene personally to understand the speed with which the pig industry must act to prevent these chaotic, deadly wrecks. drivers, and, if justified, their employers should be held responsible for the pigs reckless in their cargo suffer from this avoidable, appalling injuries and premature deaths caused. thank you for your time and consideration and I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
