Amy was the ‘ring leader’ for, the 2019 “Meat The Victims” protest and investigation at the Abbotsford Pig Farm, just over a year ago along with 200 other activists, exposing the reality of a pig slaughterhouse, showing that even the farms with the highest standards are hell on earth for the animals. PLEASE watch her youtube video called Meat the Victims Canada.
