TORONTO — New legislation introduced Monday in Ontario would create so-called “animal protection zones” with increased fines for trespassing — a move applauded by farmers but roundly criticized by the animal rights activists who say it targets them.
Agriculture Minister Ernie Hardeman said the bill — dubbed the Security from Trespass and Animal Safety Act — would hike fines for trespassing on farms and food-processing facilities and make it illegal to obstruct trucks carrying farm animals.
