Police investigators have been on the scene and are collecting evidence, including security camera footage, police said.

“It’s being taken seriously,” Constable Anie Lemieux of the police service said. No suspects have been named.

Martin Desrochers, spokesperson for the Brotherhood, said the union won’t comment on the act and won’t make any interpretations of the gesture.

A tarp was placed over the pig’s head around 7:30 this morning, Le Devoir reported. A star fashioned from sticks tied together was also propped up agains the building’s doors. On it there was a note in French that reads “You have taken them alive! We want them back alive! May ghosts haunt you forever!”
