Regan Russell was a beloved, relentless and skilled activist who – for more than forty years – devoted her life to advocating for voiceless animals. But, in an instant, she was silenced, run over and killed, on Friday, June 19th, by a truck packed with pigs as it headed to a slaughterhouse in Burlington, Ontario in Canada. Protests and blockades have now erupted at the spot where Regan was run down, as a scrum of media assembled to hear from the victim’s family and fellow animal rights advocates. Save Movement founder Anita Krajnc spoke, promising global mobilization in honor of Regan Russell’s life, cut short as she was advocating for compassion to other sentient beings with whom we share this planet.
