SUMMARY:Protest York University's Experiments on Primates
DESCRIPTION:🚨 PROTEST YORK UNIVERSITY’S PRIMATE EXPERIMENTS 🚨 \n📍 Meet at: Aroma Espresso Bar\n🕜 Friday\, May 15 | 1:30 PM – 3:30 PM \nAt 1:30 PM\, we will gather at Aroma Espresso Bar before walking together to the protest location at York University for a peaceful demonstration and friendly public outreach. If you arrive late\, check back here in the discussion tab for the exact location which will be updated at that time. Signs\, banners\, and leaflets will be provided. Avoid logos on clothing. Let’s be respectful to all and work together to help the animals. \nWe are coming together to raise awareness about the suffering of nine rhesus macaques currently being experimented on at York University… and to demand a future beyond animal testing. \nA recent undercover investigation by Last Chance for Animals (LCA) exposed disturbing conditions inside York’s primate research lab. \nAccording to footage\, records\, and expert reviews released through the investigation\, macaques were allegedly subjected to:\n• Brain/head implants\, some reportedly encrusted with blood\n• Water deprivation used as a “motivational tool”\n• Social isolation for years at a time\n• Small barren cages causing severe psychological distress\n• Repetitive trauma behaviors like pacing\, swaying\, hair-pulling\, and self-harm\n• Permanent restraint collars around their necks\n• Multiple invasive surgeries over many years\n• Monkeys reportedly drinking their own urine due to dehydration \nOne macaque\, Kenny\, was documented repeatedly scratching at his implant until he reportedly pulled it out\, leaving a gaping wound. Another macaque\, Liesl\, reportedly suffered significant vision loss after multiple eye procedures. Experts reviewing the evidence described the conditions as causing severe physical and psychological suffering. \nThis protest is not only about York University. It is about the future of science and ethics in Canada. \nAround the world\, there is increasing momentum toward phasing out animal testing in favour of modern\, non-animal research methods. The United States and parts of Europe are already moving in this direction. Instead of defending outdated and cruel experiments on highly intelligent primates\, Canada should be investing in humane and innovative science. \nJoin us to stand up for compassion\, science without suffering\, and a better future for both animals and humans. \n📢 Please help spread the word by inviting friends and sharing this event.\n⬇️ LEARN MORE / WATCH THE INVESTIGATION / TAKE ACTION:\nhttps://stopyorkprimateresearch.com/

SUMMARY:MFA | Unilever Unmasked Protest
DESCRIPTION:Join Mercy For Animals at Unilever\,160 Bloor St E\, Toronto\, ON M4W 1B9. \nA global consumer goods company\, has faced backlash for dropping their 2025 goal of sourcing 100% cage-free eggs worldwide\, maintaining commitments only in Western markets while leaving millions of hens in cages elsewhere. Despite reaching 68% globally\, this move raises concerns about prioritizing profit over animal welfare. \nWe launched a campaign with OWA on Feb 3 to push Unilever to restore its global cage-free commitment and publish a clear\, actionable plan. \nDue to their lack of action\, we are planning a protest at Unilever’s Canadian offices on May 21\, 4:30pm – 6:30pm during AVA Toronto.\nWe will have a banner\, signs\, and leaflets to use the day of. Come with yourself and bonus if you can bring a friend! \nBy 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…). \nIf you have any questions feel free to message me on Facebook or by email at animalsmatter@hotmail.com. \nThank you\,\nKelli Demontneay

SUMMARY:(13 Cities) Stop Cage Cruelty: CEO Profit vs. Animal Welfare
DESCRIPTION:In 2016\, Sobeys and other grocery chains owned by Empire Co. made a public promise to go 100% cage-free by 2025. Now\, a decade later\, they have backtracked on their word. While families in our community struggle with the rising cost of groceries\, Sobeys is posting record earnings and using “affordability” as a shield for ongoing cage cruelty. \nThis demonstration is part of Animal Justice’s largest nationwide protest yet\, with 13 cities across Canada participating to demand an end to cages. \nWe’re gathering to demand that CEO Pierre St-Laurent\, honour his company’s commitment. If Sobeys and Empire can afford millions in executive bonuses\, they can afford to get hens out of cages. \nTHE MATH OF CRUELTY: We will be unveiling our “Giant Receipt of Cruelty” to show exactly where Sobeys and Empire’s priorities lie: \n\nItem 1: CEO Compensation — $3.4 Million\nItem 2: Annual Profit — $700 Million\nItem 3: Broken Promises — 10 Years\n\nTOTAL PRICE: A lifetime of suffering for millions of hens. \nWe’ll also be sharing the EggSCANada app with shoppers so they can learn the truth behind egg industry labels and directly contact grocery executives themselves. \nWhat to bring: Your voice and your passion! We will provide signs\, including the giant receipt! \nLet’s let Sobeys and Empire know: Canadians see through the smokescreen. \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:Protesting the CNE FARM Building
DESCRIPTION:Join us outside the CNE aka The Ex aka The Canadian National Exhibition- in Toronto\, to protest their continued operation of the “FARM” building\, where they display animals like widgets. \nThey don’t mention anything about the slaughter process\, about intensive confinement\, about the environmental destruction caused by animal ag\, the dangers of zoonotic disease\, or the the fact animal protein is NOT necessary. The benefits of a vegan lifestyle? Nowhere within the exhibition. \nThis awful display of live animals needs shutting down. Already no chickens are on display\, nor turkeys due to avian flu\, a virus that is dangerously spreading to other mammals. \nSign the petition to close the FARM: https://c.org/qHHWKkMVMx \nThis will be a peaceful demonstration. Signs will be provided but feel free to get creative.
