On June 10th, 2022, an article was publish by Unicorn Riot featuring a video overview of the timeline of events, starting from the original exposé on Excelsior Hog Farm in 2019. The 7 minutes 30 seconds video highlights the misconduct of the BC SPCA and how they've done everything in their power to turn over their whistleblower, resulting in the now 3 activists facing charges related to capturing the footage and the April 28th, 2019 Meat the Victims action. Meanwhile, Excelsior Hog Farm has evaded criminal charges for the repeated acts of animal cruelty that were caught on video because of the BC SPCA's priority in criminalizing activists.
The 3 remaining activists of the Excelsior 4, Amy Soranno, Nick Schafer, and Roy Sasano, are to begin their 4 week trial on June 27th, just 12 days away.
