Two protesters of the 鈥楨xcelsior Four鈥� have been found guilty of break-and-enter and mischief in relation to the April 28, 2019 protest at Abbotsford鈥檚 Excelsior Hog Farm.

Nick Schafer and Amy Soranno were each convicted for their role in the protest. A third protester, Roy Sasano, was acquitted. In May, prosecutors dropped charges against Geoff Regier.

鈥淭his isn鈥檛 the outcome we hoped for, but it鈥檚 not about us and never has been,鈥� Soranno said. 鈥淲e can鈥檛 lose sight of the true victims 鈥� the animals.鈥�

Soranno called on the government to install mandatory CCTV cameras inside all farms and slaughterhouses in B.C.

Schafer and Soranno did not rule out the possibility of appealing their conviction.

The parties are back in court on July 12 to set a date for the sentencing hearing.
