SUMMARY:Marineland Protest - Save the Belugas
DESCRIPTION:We’ll be at Marineland tomorrow\, Saturday 11 Oct\, 3:30 to 6:30pm… FB event page: \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/s/marineland-protest-save-the-be/812682314781648/ \nWhile many groups seem resigned to letting the Holer family euthanize the belugas\, others have hope. All levels of government are quiet\, yet they’re the ones who could bring together experts to decide and force the best solution for the belugas. The protest aims to highlight solutions while calling on Marineland to let them live.

SUMMARY:Empire of Greed - Cage-Free Campaign
DESCRIPTION:Sobeys is a “Proud Sponsor” of the Blue Jays for giveaways\, posts\, etc. \nThey have been in partnership and boasted this for years. \nThe Blue Jays games are highly attended and offer a perfect opportunity for us to raise awareness amongst a large audience.\nWe will be targeting the Rogers Centre as it located very close to the Sobeys location we’ve been targeting most heavily with demos and tactics!” \nJoin Mercy For Animals volunteers to demand Sobeys to publish a time-bound plan for fulfilling their pledge to eliminate extreme confinement for hens in their egg supply chain. \nIn 2016\, Sobeys and their parent company\, Empire\, publicly promised to stop sourcing eggs from caged hens by 2025. \nYears later\, despite ruling over some of Canada’s largest and most profitable grocery brands\, Empire retracted their commitment deadline in 2021\, stating that they would not meet their original deadline. \nSobeys promised to publish an updated plan for finishing their transition but has yet to share how and when they plan to fulfill their cage-free promise. \nWe’re urging Sobeys to publish a time-bound plan for fulfilling their pledge to eliminate extreme confinement for hens in their egg supply chain. \nLearn about our current Canadian campaign here: https://empireofgreed.ca \nWe will be at Rogers Centre\,1 Blue Jays Way\,Toronto\, ON M5V 1J1. Saturday\, September 13th\, 2025\, at 1:30 PM to 230 PM to inform the public about this issue and hold them accountable to their promise. \nWe will have a banner\, signs\, and leaflets to use the day of.

SUMMARY:Vigil for the Animals Who Lost Their Lives to St. Joseph's Hospital
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a peaceful vigil to honor the lives of the dogs\, pigs and rodents who were subjected to painful outdated experiments conducted by St. Joseph’s Hospital. These innocent animals suffered and died and we will remember them and the lives they didn’t have the chance to live. \nWhat to Expect:\n🌸 A memorial space will be set up with a banner\, photos of some of the animals that have been killed\, and flowers.\n🕯️ We will stand in solidarity\, share words\, and reflect with a moment of silence.\n💌 You are invited to bring letters\, toys\, drawings\, or flowers to lay at the memorial. \nThis vigil is not just a moment of remembrance\, it’s a call for change. It’s time that the hospital stops forcing animals to endure highly invasive horrific experiments such as heart heart attacks lasting up to 3 hours\, and commit to replacing animal testing with modern\, ethical alternatives. \nAll are welcome. Let’s show St. Joseph’s Hospital that these animals’ lives mattered\, that it is time to halt the killing and release the dogs and pigs for rehoming. \nTo learn more about the experiences of the animals who lost their lives in secret experiments at St. Joseph’s Hospital\, watch our exposé: https://youtu.be/dJzpBk0ISpU

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:Ontario Rally and Vigil for Endangered Species
DESCRIPTION:Join us to stand up for species-at-risk and our shared natural ecosystems! We will take over Queen’s Park to speak for the animals\, plants and fungi the Ford government seems to think are expendable. \nBring your flora\, fauna and fungi art\, costumes\, signs and lets make sure this government knows: species at risk are not red tape\, habitats are not for sale and First Nations’ rights are not optional. \nThe Ford government’s latest attempted land-grab–Bill 5– proposes to repeal Ontario’s Endangered Species Act and utterly abandon the province’s commitment to protecting wildlife and their habitats\, sacrificing them on the alter of corporate profits and hand-outs to big developers\, all in the middle of a biodiversity crisis. \nBill 5 also proposes to give unprecedented\, undemocratic amd unconstitutional powers to the provincial government through the designation of “Special Economic Zones” which would be above the law\, trampling on Indigenous Rights and community consultation.

SUMMARY:Toronto: Urge Pharrell Williams to nix cruel animal skins
DESCRIPTION:Please join local PETA supporters outside the Pharrell Williams’ Piece by Piece documentary and biopic screening at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) to call out Pharrell\, Louis Vuitton’s men’s creative director\, for his disgraceful use of wild animal skins and fur in his collections. \nAnimals raised and killed for fur are confined to tiny\, filthy cages before they’re electrocuted\, bludgeoned\, gassed\, or even skinned alive. A PETA Asia investigation into slaughterhouses in Indonesia that supply LVMH shows snakes being inflated with water\, bashed with hammers\, and cut with razors while likely still conscious. PETA entities have also documented how workers in the fashion industry hack at crocodiles’ necks and shove metal rods down their spines\, chop off conscious lizards’ heads with machetes\, and electrically stun ostriches before slitting their throats in full view of their terrified flockmates. \nWe are calling on Pharrell to stop being complicit in cruelty and help pull Louis Vuitton out of the dark ages by shunning the antiquated use of animal skins. \nTo learn more and to take action please visit: https://support.peta.org/page/70082/action/1?locale=en-US \nHere are the details: \nWHEN: Saturday\, September 7th\, 2024 7:30am – 9am ET \nWHERE: Scotiabank Theatre: 259 Richmond St W\, Toronto\, ON M5V 3M6\, Canada (Please see map here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ziTYr7fmHhVHXG8p6) \nCONTACT: Racheli Holstein\, RacheliH@peta.org \nAll materials (such as posters and leaflets) will be provided. \nPlease wear business-professional clothing and dress sharply. Looking uniform helps our message come across much stronger! \nPlease refrain from bringing dogs as there may not be shade or a safe place for them to lie down during the protest. \nNote that reserved parking will not be available\, and please be prepared for the weather. \nOutreach events are a fun and effective way to help animals as well as meet local advocates\, so be sure to invite others!

SUMMARY:CANADA ABUSES ANIMALS - 2nd Annual Parliament Protest!
DESCRIPTION:Hello Canadian animal rights activists! \nThe time has come! We are planning the second year of our annual event in Ottawa: Canada Abuses Animals! \nThe purpose of this event and protest is to shine a light on all of the legal animal abuse that is still prevalent across this country in a variety of industries. \nThis demonstration is not intended to be anti-patriotic. We love this country and we want it to be the best it can be! But a country that partakes in systemic animal abuse can never be at its best\, and Canadians are fundamentally against animal abuse. \nWe will meet at Major’s Hill\, get organized\, march for 1 hour and then have an event on Parliament Hill itself. \nPlease note: PROTESTS ON PARLIAMENT HILL ARE NOT LIKE OTHER PROTESTS. They can attract more attention\, both from the government and from the media\, which is great. But they also need a permit (which we have!) and that permit comes with rules and regulations. \nEVERYONE PLANNING TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS EVENT\, please read and abide by this Parliament Hill rulebook: http://hill-colline.parl.ca/pdf/CUPH-Rules-e.pdf\nFrançais : http://hill-colline.parl.ca/pdf/CUPH-Rules-f.pdf \nIf you bring something that is not approved in the rules\, we may be asked to leave. \nCoolers are allowed in case you want to pack a lunch. Personal tents\, tables or chairs are unfortunately NOT permitted. \nALL SIGNS MUST HAVE MESSAGES THAT ARE ‘ON THEME’\, such as:\nAll animal abuse should be illegal\nAnimal exploitation is animal abuse\nAnimal mutilation is animal abuse\nTransporting live animals is animal abuse\nGestation cages are animal abuse\nCanada Funds Animal Abuse\nAnimal gas chamber is animal abuse\nElectrocuting animals is animal abuse\nLack of medical care on farms is animal abuse\nAnimal testing is animal abuse\nForced fertilization of animals is animal abuse\nThe dairy industry is animal abuse\nThe meat industry is animal abuse\nThe egg industry is animal abuse\nThe fur industry is animal abuse\nMacerating chicks is animal abuse\nCanada CAN and MUST do better for animals\nCanadians are AGAINST animal abuse\nBe a voice for animals\nAnimal agriculture is animal abuse\nAnimals deserve a bill of rights \nIf you are unsure if your sign matches the event theme\, please check with us! \nI would like people to speak or perform at this event! If you would like to be considered to give a speech or musical performance\, or if you are in contact with a known person who may wish to do so\, please contact us. \nThe dress code for this event is a WHITE top. We will be selling Canada Abuses Animals t-shirts and crewneck sweatshirts this year! \nWe will be renting a bus from Montreal to Ottawa as we did last year\, but carpooling will also be essential to get people there\, so if you have a car with room for compassionate humans\, please say so in the discussion below! \nThe idea is that this event is something we can repeat year after year until animal abuse is no longer part of Canadian culture. I would also like to see it reproduced in other countries one day! (Australia Abuses Animals\, France Abuses Animals\, etc.) \nLet’s make this BIG and MEMORABLE and remind Canadians that they are forgetting their better natures and who they really are by consuming products from industries that abuse animals on their behalf. \nIf you have any other ideas that you think would make this event more effective\, please send us a message. \nThank you so much and see you there! \n~~~~~ \nSalut les militants canadiens des droits des animaux ! \nLe temps est venu! Nous planifions la deuxième année de notre événement annuel à Ottawa\, Le Canada abuse des animaux ! \nLe but de cette manifestation est de mettre en lumière tous les abus légaux envers les animaux qui sont encore répandus à travers ce pays dans une variété d’industries. \nCette manifestation ne se veut pas anti-patriotique. Nous aimons ce pays et nous voulons qu’il soit le meilleur possible ! Mais un pays qui participe à la maltraitance systémique des animaux ne peut jamais être à son meilleur\, et les Canadiens sont fondamentalement contre la maltraitance des animaux. \nNous nous réunirons à Major’s Hill\, nous nous organiserons\, nous marcherons pendant 1 heure\, puis nous organiserons un événement sur la Colline du Parlement même. \nVeuillez noter : LES MANIFESTATIONS SUR LA COLLINE DU PARLEMENT NE SONT PAS COMME LES AUTRES MANIFESTATIONS. Elles peuvent attirer davantage l’attention\, tant du gouvernement que des médias\, ce qui est excellent. Mais elles ont également besoin d’un permis (que nous avons !) et ce permis est accompagné de règles et de règlements. \nTOUTES PERSONNES PRÉVOYANT PARTICIPER À CETTE MANIFESTATION\, veuillez lire et respecter ce livret de règles de la Colline du Parlement : http://hill-colline.parl.ca/pdf/CUPH-Rules-f.pdf\nEnglish : http://hill-colline.parl.ca/pdf/CUPH-Rules-f.pdf \nSi vous apportez quelque chose qui n’est pas approuvé dans le règlement\, on pourrait nous demander de partir. \nLes glacières sont autorisées au cas où vous voudriez vous préparer un lunch. Les tentes\, tables ou chaises personnelles ne sont malheureusement PAS autorisées. \nTOUS LES SIGNES DOIVENT AVOIR DES MESSAGES QUI SONT « SUR LE THÈME »\, tels que :\nTous les abus envers les animaux devraient être illégaux\nL’exploitation animale est de la maltraitance animale\nLa mutilation animale est de la maltraitance animale\nLe transport d’animaux vivants est de la maltraitance animale\nLes cages de gestation sont de la maltraitance animale\nLe Canada finance la maltraitance des animaux\nLa chambre à gaz des animaux est de la maltraitance animale\nÉlectrocuter des animaux est de la maltraitance animale\nLe manque de soins médicaux dans les fermes est de la maltraitance animale\nL’expérimentation animale est de la maltraitance animale\nLa fécondation forcée des animaux est de la maltraitance animale\nL’industrie laitière est de la maltraitance animale\nL’industrie de la viande est de la maltraitance animale\nL’industrie des œufs est de la maltraitance animale\nL’industrie de la fourrure est de la maltraitance animale\nFaire macérer des poussins est de la maltraitance animale\nLe Canada PEUT et DOIT faire mieux pour les animaux\nLes Canadiens sont CONTRE la maltraitance des animaux\nSoyez une voix pour les animaux\nL’agriculture animale est de la maltraitance animale\nLes animaux méritent une charte des droits \nSi vous n’êtes pas sûr que votre panneau corresponde au thème de l’événement\, veuillez vérifier avec nous ! \nJ’aimerais que les gens parlent ou performent lors de cet événement ! Si vous souhaitez être considéré pour faire un discours ou une performance musicale\, ou si vous êtes en contact avec une personne connue qui pourrait souhaiter le faire\, veuillez nous contacter. \nLe code vestimentaire pour cet événement est un haut BLANC. Nous vendrons des t-shirts et des chandails ras du cou Canada Abuses Animals cette année! \nNous louerons un autobus de Montréal à Ottawa comme nous l’avons fait l’an dernier\, mais le covoiturage sera également essentiel pour y amener les gens\, donc si vous avez une voiture avec de la place pour les humains compatissants\, veuillez le dire dans la discussion ci-dessous ! \nL’idée est que cet événement est quelque chose que nous pouvons répéter année après année jusqu’à ce que la maltraitance des animaux ne fasse plus partie de la culture canadienne. J’aimerais aussi le voir reproduit dans d’autres pays un jour ! (L’Australie abuse des animaux\, la France abuse des animaux\, etc.) \nRendons cela GRAND et MÉMORABLE et rappelons aux Canadiens qu’ils oublient leur meilleure nature et qui ils sont vraiment en consommant des produits provenant d’industries qui maltraitent les animaux en leur nom. \nSi vous avez d’autres idées qui\, selon vous\, rendraient cette manifestation plus efficace\, veuillez nous envoyer un message. \nMerci beaucoup. On se voit là-bas! \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Mercy For Animals x Animal Justice Burnbrae Brunch Fest Takeover
DESCRIPTION:Burnbrae Farms Brunch Festival Protest! \nWelcome to a great chance for activists to help push Burnbrae Farms—Canada’s largest egg company—to stop caging hens. This is a unique opportunity to collaborate with Animal Justice\, which recently released undercover footage exposing suffering birds in battery and enriched cages in Canada. \nWe have some exciting new tactics for the demonstration to get Burnbrae’s attention while at Toronto’s Official Brunch Fest on the Grounds at Hotel X in Toronto\, Canada. \nPlease join Mercy For Animals and Animal Justice as we target Burnbrae Farms for their failure to improve hen welfare. Day after day\, hundreds of thousands of hens in Burnbrae’s operations suffer\, trapped in cramped wire cages—without room to walk freely or comfortably spread their wings. \nBurnbrae Farms claims to value animal welfare and transparency. Yet the company is still investing in cage confinement for birds and failing to disclose the number of hens cruelly kept in cages in its operations. Chickens can no longer wait for change. \nPolls are clear—most Canadians find cages unacceptable. In response\, over 130 companies in Canada have committed to banning cages in their supply chains. However\, the Canadian egg industry continues to invest in the extreme confinement of hens. \nWe will meet at 1 PM outside on the corner of 111 Princes’ Blvd.\, Toronto\, ON M6K 3C3. The corner of Lake Shore Blvd. and Newfoundland Dr. \nSigns\, leaflets\, and props will be provided\, so just bring yourself and a friend! \nJoin Mercy For Animals and Animal Justice online\, too. Take action here: :\nMercy For Animals: https://cagefree.ca/burnbrae-harms/\nAnimal Justice: www.burnbraetruth.ca \n“By attending this and other Mercy For Animals events\, you agree to our Volunteer Terms (https://mercyforanimals.org/volunteer-terms/) and Volunteer Handbook (https://file-cdn.mercyforanimals.org/…/MFA-Volunteer…).” \nPlease message me if you have any questions! \nNote: Please check Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:Powerful Post-NARD Demonstration for Wildlife & Wildlife Rehabbers
DESCRIPTION: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. \nFor the details of this powerful demonstration\, please message us\, as the details will not be made public beforehand.\nEvery 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. \nOntario 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! \nThe 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! \nThe 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. \nNOTE: Please check the Facebook event page for further details.

We need people to know the truth about how the MNRF conducts themselves with Ontario’s Wildlife Rehabbers. \nWe’ll be setting up at this busy intersection in Peterborough using banners\, protest signs\, literature handouts\, and public outreach (all will be provided by organizers) to share our outrage and disgust over the abuse and murder of Mally’s 87 raccoons at the hands of the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNRF)\, as well as the decades of MNRF over-reach and tyrannical authoritarian-style regulation of Ontario’s Wildlife Rehabbers. Enough is enough! \nWe’ll be meeting in the parking lot of McDonalds at 978 Lansdowne St W\, Peterborough\, ON\, K9J 1Z9 in the corner closest to the intersection. \nAs usual – please let us know if you would like help with car pool arrangements.\nAnd\, please share this Event on your own profile as well as to any community and/or animal-friendly groups or pages that you know in the area. \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:Hilton Toronto Protest: Progress in Cage-free Commitment
DESCRIPTION:Let’s ask Hilton to report their cage-free progress! \nHilton has announced a policy to stop using eggs from hens confined in cruel cages. However\, they are not reporting global progress on this commitment. \nAs part of a Global Campaign from the Open Wing Alliance\, we will gather outside Hilton Toronto to protest their lack of transparency. \nWe’ll bring a few posters to share. Feel free to bring yours\, too! \n**If it is supposed to rain during the planned date and time\, the event will take place on Sunday instead. We’ll share an update if that’s the case!** \nLearn more: \nAnimal Justice is a member of the Open Wing Alliance (OWA)— a global coalition of organizations focused on ending the abuse of hens worldwide. \nOn February 13th\, OWA released Fair and Foul\, Global Travel Edition\, a report that exposes global hospitality and travel companies that are not reporting globally on their global cage-free commitments. OWA is now asking four (4) of those companies – Hilton\, Meliá Hotels International\, and Louvre Hotels Group – to keep their promises and publicly report on their global progress. \nBy providing detailed reporting on their progress\, these companies will catch up with major global hospitality groups like Aman Resorts\, StarHotels Choice Hotels\, IHG\, Dorchester Collection and Motel One which are already reporting on their commitment to end cruel cages in their global supply chains. \n

SUMMARY:DEMONSTRATION AT FORD’S P.C. POLICY CONVENTION
DESCRIPTION:A full-scale demonstration in front of the people we need to hear us the most … Doug Ford\, all the MPPs (likely including Graydon Smith)\, and registered Conservative Party members. \nThis is an All-Day affair\, and we want to ensure we’re seen and heard\, so we’re committing to have no less than 2 of the 3 co-hosts present out front at any given time from 8am-4pm. \nThe Convention registration and breakfast run from 8am-10am\, with the first session immediately after that\, so this will likely be the time frame that sees the most amount of traffic\, and maybe catches Doug arriving. Please make it for this time if at all possible. \nThe next best option would be approx 1pm-4pm to catch the people who aren’t attending the afternoon sessions in order to freshen up before the dinner event which starts at 5:30pm. \nFYI – a press release will be going out soon to invite the media to come see us that day. It would be more enticing for them if more of you were registered to attend when they look in to this. \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates. \n

SUMMARY:Protesting Wayne Hsiung’s jailing
DESCRIPTION:Wayne was handcuffed and jailed after his court hearing weeks ago\, and is being sentenced on November 30th. \nWhat are we doing?

SUMMARY:PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATION AT MNRF OFFICES
DESCRIPTION:This is a peaceful protest / demonstration outside of the MNRF offices in Peterborough. The purpose of our attendance is three-fold: \n1) to bring attention & public awareness about the MNRF’s grotesque actions on Sept 26th with our presence\, protest signs\, displays\, & information handouts. There will be a few extra signs & lots of information handouts available.\n2) to provide as many people as possible with the easy-to-follow Action Steps so that they may have their voices be heard on this matter.\n3) to apply pressure to the MNRF by making them aware that our passion for this issue is not quieting down\, and that the public is still demanding answers about the well-being and future plans of all of Mally’s raccoons. \nPlease – no blocking people or traffic\, no following people\, no swearing\, no accosting. It’s important that we maintain the public’s favour of the raccoons and Mally’s. \nThere is plenty of street parking all around the front entrance at 300 Water St\, Peterborough\, including Accessible parking directly in front.
