A vegan animal activist, who said she stole several piglets after being confronted with 'putrid' conditions at a Queensland piggery, is ordered to pay compensation and undertake community service.
A vegan animal activist said she stole several piglets after being confronted with "awful putrid" conditions at a Queensland piggery, a court has heard.
The court heard McGeachin and several others broke into the Cameron Pastoral Company's Pittsworth piggery in November last year and stole six piglets. "When she got in there she's confronted with this putrid scene. She's become, she tells me, overwhelmed. She was very distressed," Ms McArthur said."She's taken them out of a desire for their immediate welfare."
