That's a very interesting question. To be honest, I was not aware of situations where farmers did not call local authorities. I'm more familiar with situations where farmers do call local authorities and in the end nothing happens. I do think that, at least in Ontario, from the experiences I've seen and what I've heard, people are discouraged. Farmers are discouraged. It would seem that people can walk onto their farms and into their barns. They feel they can be doing all the right things and it's allowed to happen, and charges are not laid or they're not successful. I'm afraid I can't add much more than that.
