Activist Regan Russell was killed while trying to call attention to the cruelty of animal agriculture. This is her story.

65-year-old Regan Russell was killed by a pig transport truck in front of Sofina’s Fearmans slaughterhouse on June 19. She was at a Toronto Pig Save vigil with some other activists giving pigs water on one of the hottest days of the year.

That day, Regan Russell was opposing Ontario’s 'ag-gag' Bill 156, which had passed two days prior.
