SUMMARY:Court Hearing & Rally: Challenging Canada's Ban on International Dog Rescue
DESCRIPTION:Animal Justice & Soi Dog Canada will be in court to challenge Canada’s ban on international dog rescue on Wednesday\, October 8. In 2022\, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) banned dogs from over 100 countries from being brought into Canada for adoption or rescue. The ban was billed as temporary to protect against rabies\, but rabies is 100% vaccine-preventable\, and it has yet to be lifted. \nTragically\, international dog rescue charities were forced to stop their important work due to the ban. Canada was once a beacon of hope for dogs living on the streets and in shelters around the world—including in war-torn countries and in others where rescuers are saving animals from the meat trade. We can do better. \nJoin us in Ottawa for a peaceful rally calling on the government to:\n-End a blanket ban that does more harm than good\n-Give rescued dogs a second chance at life in Canada\n-Follow science-based\, modern veterinary guidelines \n🏛️ COURT SUPPORT – 9:30 AM\nThe legal challenge will begin inside the courthouse at 9:30 AM.\nSupporters are welcome and strongly encouraged to attend and show their support from inside the courtroom. Please be quiet and respectful. \n📢 RALLY – 1:00 to 1:30 PM\nMeet us outside the Ottawa Courthouse from 1:00 to 1:30 PM for a peaceful\, high-visibility rally.\n🐶 Bring your dogs! (Leashed\, friendly\, and comfortable in crowds)\n📣 Bring your voice—and we’ll provide the signs! \nTogether\, we’ll stand up for dogs and demand an end to the CFIA’s dog rescue ban. \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:RALLY: Animal Justice in Court to Block Return of Ag Gag Law
DESCRIPTION:Ontario’s dangerous ag gag law—which punishes whistleblowers and hides animal abuse— is back in court. After a judge struck down much of the law as unconstitutional last year\, the province filed an appeal in an attempt to overturn our hard-fought legal victory. Join Animal Justice and friends for a powerful rally outside the Ontario Court of Appeal as we return to the courtroom to defend the ruling. \nThe appeal will be heard by the Ontario Court of Appeal on Tuesday\, June 24 & Wednesday\, June 25. We need you there to show the court—and the public—that Canadians won’t accept laws that cover up cruelty and silence the truth about abuse at farms and slaughterhouses. Join us in an eye-catching rally\,  and help us spread the message that ag gag laws have NO place in Canada! \nSigns will be provided\, and you are welcome to bring your own. Bring your friends\, family\, and fellow advocates! \nNote: Please check the Faceboook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:Preliminary Court Appearance - Farm Building Protest
DESCRIPTION:Jenny McQueen is facing criminal charges for attempting to protest the inside the Farm building at the Canadian National Exhibition – aka CNE’s “the ex”. \nThis court date\, in room #202 at 10 Armoury Street in Toronto\, is merely a brief appearance to set future dates. Sketch artist David Louis Wall is following this case\, and will be in court sketching those in attendance. \nThe defense lawyer or their representative will likely be attending via zoom. \nMcQueen says “At a time when animal rights activists are releasing footage from inside disgusting farms\, and even inside gas chambers where pigs are lowered\, screaming for their lives\, the pampered mother pig at the CNE\, and the other live animals\, resting on hay with their cute babies around them is completely deceiving the visiting public.” \nJenny was with a group of individuals who had all bought tickets to visit the CNE on 18th August 2024. She was the only one arrested. \nPetition to end live animal displays at the CNE: https://www.change.org/CNE-Farm-Lies \n#CNEFarmTrial

SUMMARY:Court Hearing: Vegan Human Rights Case
DESCRIPTION:Join Animal Justice inside the courthouse to watch this hearing live and support this important case for vegan rights! \nAnimal Justice has been granted leave to intervene at the Divisional Court of Ontario in a groundbreaking discrimination case brought by vegan firefighter\, Adam Knauff. This case raises the novel question of whether a belief in ethical veganism is a type of “creed”\, a protected ground under the Ontario Human Rights Code. \nIn 2023\, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario denied Mr. Knauff’s claim that his belief system as an ethical vegan counted as a creed. Now\, Mr. Knauff seeks judicial review of that decision from the Court. An Animal Justice lawyer will argue that ethical veganism as a secular belief system meets all the requirements to be protected as a creed. \nLocation: Courtroom 3\, Osgoode Hall \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.
