Powerful Post-NARD Demonstration for Wildlife & Wildlife Rehabbers
June 2 @ 6:00 pm - 6:30 pm
We hope you can join us immediately following the National Animal Rights Day demonstration and march as we gather outside a prominent building in Downtown Toronto (exact location will be shared privately to those who mark themselves as “Going”) to make a powerful statement to our Provincial Government and the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNRF) which will bring attention to the true cost and real consequence of the MNRF’s unofficial yet effective campaign against our Wildlife Rehabbers … the suffering and death of innocent wildlife that should have been given a chance.
For the details of this powerful demonstration, please message us, as the details will not be made public beforehand.
Every single day, there are dozens of cries for help from caring and compassionate citizens who want to find help for a wild animal in distress. But we’ve got no solutions to offer them any longer. Our Rescue Centres are full. Our Fosters have all they can handle. The MNRF is showing up to the homes of people trying to help, and demanding they surrender the wildlife to them … undoubtedly for euthanization.
Ontario has fewer than 25% of the Wildlife Rehabbers they had 20 years ago before this campaign against them began. The MNRF has not been issuing new ‘licenses’ for years. There are capable and caring people who have taken the Internationally accepted courses and submitted applications to the MNRF only to have their applications ignored. What’s going on here?! With only 46 Rescue Centres remaining, we are in a critical state for our wildlife. Enough is enough!
The harassment of our Wildlife Rehabbers must stop! The MNRF must step up to perform their mandated duties as Regulators of our Rehabbers! And, if they can’t step up … then step down!
The agency and civil servants that support and participate in hunting, trapping, penned dog hunting, and unnecessary live-animal research CANNOT also be regulating the Wildlife Rehabbing community that has dedicated their lives to saving these same animals.
