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.

It91裸聊视频檚 an image that is clearly rape, said Patricia Arango, executive director of the Central Alberta Sexual Assault Support Centre.

91裸聊视频淭hat91裸聊视频檚 the reason we91裸聊视频檙e working hard to create a culture of respect,91裸聊视频� Arango said.

91裸聊视频淭o me, it feels like social rape. I91裸聊视频檓 very sad and ashamed this has happened here in Canada.91裸聊视频�

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.

91裸聊视频淚 don91裸聊视频檛 think we can be silent,91裸聊视频� she said.

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

91裸聊视频淭his was disturbing to me. I haven91裸聊视频檛 seen anything like this. There91裸聊视频檚 nothing about it that91裸聊视频檚 OK,91裸聊视频� 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.

91裸聊视频淪ome of my friends have seen it, and said it was not OK, and they91裸聊视频檙e going to be rig pigs until the day they die. That91裸聊视频檚 why people don91裸聊视频檛 take Alberta seriously. They think we91裸聊视频檙e a bunch of hillbilly rednecks running around with pipe wrenches. It91裸聊视频檚 because people post stuff like that.91裸聊视频�

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 91裸聊视频渨ill be following up.91裸聊视频�

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

91裸聊视频淭he visual is jarring,91裸聊视频� Narang said Thursday. 91裸聊视频淚t hurt. It hurt on so many levels.91裸聊视频�

Alberta91裸聊视频檚 minister for the status of women, Leela Aheer, called the graphic 91裸聊视频渃ompletely deplorable, unacceptable and degrading.91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淭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,91裸聊视频� she wrote on Twitter.

Premier Jason Kenney tweeted in response: 91裸聊视频淭hank-you for denouncing this odious image and the message it sends.91裸聊视频�
