A cartoon decal of environmentalist Greta Thunberg, which includes the logo of a Red Deer oil service company, has been widely condemned.

The decal depicts the 17-year-old Swedish activist in a sexually submissive position.

It香蕉视频直播檚 an image that is clearly rape, said Patricia Arango, executive director of the Central Alberta Sexual Assault Support Centre.

香蕉视频直播淭hat香蕉视频直播檚 the reason we香蕉视频直播檙e working hard to create a culture of respect,香蕉视频直播� Arango said.

香蕉视频直播淭o me, it feels like social rape. I香蕉视频直播檓 very sad and ashamed this has happened here in Canada.香蕉视频直播�

She said no matter how old a person is, or who they are, this behaviour is never OK.

The decal features the logo of X-Site Energy Services, which has an office in Red Deer, and also works in northern Alberta and B.C.

A spokesman for X-Site Energy Services has told other sources that no one from the company had anything to do with the decal, and that an unknown third party posted it to Facebook. General manager Doug Sparrow declined comment on the matter when contact by the Advocate on Thursday.

Arango said she was alerted about the post Wednesday night, adding it shows the lack of respect in social media and the rape culture that exists in many big industries. When not much is done to stop it, it becomes normalized.

香蕉视频直播淚 don香蕉视频直播檛 think we can be silent,香蕉视频直播� she said.

Red Deer County resident Clayton MacIntyre, who contacted the newspaper about the Facebook post, called the image disgusting.

香蕉视频直播淭his was disturbing to me. I haven香蕉视频直播檛 seen anything like this. There香蕉视频直播檚 nothing about it that香蕉视频直播檚 OK,香蕉视频直播� said MacIntyre after someone who was also shocked by the post shared it with him.

He said the reaction to environmentalists is getting progressively worse, with some people in the oil industry taking a more aggressive stance.

MacIntyre said he used to work in the industry up north and is aware of the atmosphere, but not all workers condone such behaviour.

香蕉视频直播淪ome of my friends have seen it, and said it was not OK, and they香蕉视频直播檙e going to be rig pigs until the day they die. That香蕉视频直播檚 why people don香蕉视频直播檛 take Alberta seriously. They think we香蕉视频直播檙e a bunch of hillbilly rednecks running around with pipe wrenches. It香蕉视频直播檚 because people post stuff like that.香蕉视频直播�

Michelle Narang, of Rocky Mountain House, said she called the RCMP to report the decal as child pornography, after seeing it.

RCMP Cpl. Ron Bumbry said officers are aware of the image and 香蕉视频直播渨ill be following up.香蕉视频直播�

Narang, who has two teenage daughters, said as soon as she saw the image, she sat down and cried.

香蕉视频直播淭he visual is jarring,香蕉视频直播� Narang said Thursday. 香蕉视频直播淚t hurt. It hurt on so many levels.香蕉视频直播�

Alberta香蕉视频直播檚 minister for the status of women, Leela Aheer, called the graphic 香蕉视频直播渃ompletely deplorable, unacceptable and degrading.香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淭his is not what our province stands for. Whoever is responsible should be ashamed and apologize immediately. I stand with Albertans against this horrendous image,香蕉视频直播� she wrote on Twitter.

Premier Jason Kenney tweeted in response: 香蕉视频直播淭hank-you for denouncing this odious image and the message it sends.香蕉视频直播�
