Struck Down! Ontario’s Ag Gag law
April 18 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Animal Justice Academy is thrilled to invite you to our next AJA Lunchtime Live, Struck Down! Ontario’s Ag-Gag Law Defeat Unpacked, this Thursday, April 18th, at Noon – 1pm on ZOOM.
Across Canada, provincial ag-gag laws have made it illegal for animal activists and journalists to go undercover to expose the horrific cruelty that exists on meat, dairy, egg, and fur farms and slaughterhouses.
On April 2nd, Animal Justice lawyers struck down major provisions of Ontario’s ag-gag law, Bill – 156, in Ontario’s Superior Court, charging that the law unconstitutionally violated Canadians’ freedom of expression.
This is the first time in Canadian history that lawyers have successfully defeated ag-gag legislation in court, making it a landmark VICTORY for animals!
Join us this Thursday, April 18th, as lawyer and executive director of Animal Justice, Camille Labchuk and animal rights journalist, Jessica Scott Reid break down the court ruling and discuss what it means for Canadian ag-gag laws in the future. They’ll also discuss what whistleblowers and journalists can expect going forward as they expose cruelty at Ontario’s animal farms and slaughterhouses.
