Activist Anita Krajnc has been found not guilty of mischief.

A Toronto woman who gave water to pigs on a truck headed to slaughter committed an act of kindness similar to when people gave water to Jews transported on cattle trains during the Holocaust, her lawyer said in closing arguments at her trial Thursday.

An animal rights activist testified Monday that she "was just following the golden rule" when she gave pigs en route to slaughter a drink of water on a hot day last year.
