The bill, spearheaded by Alberta Conservative MP John Barlow, offers jail time and fines of $25,000 for individual animal rights protesters who trespass and occupy farms. Organizations would be subject to fines of up to $100,000.

"Our family farms do not feel safe," Barlow argued. The bill passed the Commons on Wednesday with 278 votes in favour.

Bill C-275 An Act To Amend The Health Of Animals Act would ban unauthorized entry to "any building or other enclosed place in which animals are kept."

This is the second time legislation to protect farms has been proposed. C-205 was approved by the Agriculture Committee in 2021 but died before being passed when Parliament broke.

In 2019, a turkey farm run by the Jumbo Valley Hutterite Colony was invaded by dozens of animal rights activists, including a videographer for Global News.

Ontario-based animal activist Regan Russell was murdered this morning by a truck driver who decided to run her over & crush her to death, for she wanted him to stop for 2 minutes so activists could give water to pigs before they were murdered. #SavePigs4Regan pic.twitter.com/gmesUY1toN
