SUMMARY:Save the York 9: Back-to-school Protest & Student Outreach
DESCRIPTION:🚨 BACK TO SCHOOL PROTEST & OUTREACH: HELP SAVE THE YORK 9\n📍 TTC York University subway station entrances\n120 Ian Macdonald Boulevard\, York University\n🕐 September 18th 3-5pm \nStudents are back\, and we’re coming back bigger. \nJoin Toronto animal rights activists and Last Chance for Animals for a major back-to-school protest and outreach event calling for an end to primate experimentation at York University and freedom for the York 9. \nThousands of students will be returning to campus\, giving us an important opportunity to reach people who may have no idea that macaques are being experimented on at their own university. \nWe’ll have:\n• Speakers sharing what is happening inside York’s primate labs\n• A media truck playing footage from LCA’s undercover investigation\n• Two video stations at the subway entrances where students can watch investigation footage\n• New signage\n• QR-code action stations so students can take action immediately\n• FREE Save the York 9 T-shirts and tote bags while supplies last\n• Plenty of opportunities to help with friendly student outreach \nMaterials are provided. Just show up and help us make the York 9 impossible to ignore as students return to campus. \n🐒 WHY WE’RE THERE\nNine rhesus macaques are currently being used in experiments at York University. Some have reportedly spent more than 17 years inside the laboratory. \nAn undercover investigation by Last Chance for Animals (LCA) documented disturbing conditions and procedures\, including water restriction\, permanent restraint collars\, permanent head posts and chamber implants in their skulls for brain access\, repeated invasive surgeries\, prolonged social isolation and stereotypic behaviours associated with psychological distress. According to the investigation\, some macaques were observed drinking their own urine amid water restriction\, while one\, Liesl\, has suffered significant vision loss. Seven of the nine were reportedly housed alone. \nThese nine individuals have names: Bento\, Hannah\, Kenny\, Liesl\, Magneto\, Mini-Sass\, Do\, Olivia\, and Virginia.\nWe want the York 9 released so they can finally retire from research. \nBut this campaign is about more than nine macaques. \n🔬 OLD SCIENCE → NEW SCIENCE\nWe are also calling for a transition away from animal experimentation and toward modern\, human-relevant New Approach Methodologies (NAMs). \nInstead of continuing invasive experiments on primates\, we want to see Canada invest in innovative non-animal science and educate the next generation of researchers in methods that don’t depend on harming animals. \nBack-to-school is our opportunity to make sure York students know what’s happening on their campus\, and know that they have the power to help change it. \nPlease keep outreach friendly and respectful. If possible\, avoid clothing with unrelated logos or messaging so that our campaign visuals remain clear and unified. We also ask everyone to please follow directions from event organizers and stick to the plans established for the day. Ideas and suggestions are always welcome\, but some activities\, including media and content capture\, are planned in advance and need to be carried out as coordinated so we can use everyone’s time effectively. The end of each event is a great time for us to chat\, share ideas and discuss how things went. You’re also welcome to message Vikki or the other organizers directly with any questions\, concerns or suggestions at any time. \n📢 Invite your friends and share this event. The bigger our turnout\, the harder this issue is to ignore. \n⬇️ LEARN MORE • WATCH THE INVESTIGATION • TAKE ACTION \nhttps://www.SaveTheYork9.com \nOther ways you can help below. \nOntario Residents: Tell Your MPP to Ban Primate Testing\nhttps://secure.lcanimal.org/page/100401/action/1 \nPremier Ford: Ban Primate Testing in Ontario\nhttps://secure.lcanimal.org/page/100507/action/1 \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:Protest & Outreach to End York U Primate Research
DESCRIPTION:🚨 PROTEST & FRIENDLY OUTREACH TO STOP YORK UNIVERSITY’S PRIMATE RESEARCH\n📍 NEW MEETING SPOT: TTC York University subway station entrances; 120 Ian Macdonald Boulevard (where we normally do outreach).\n🕜 Monday\, August 31st | 12PM – 2PM \nSigns\, banners\, and leaflets will be provided. A media truck will also be around for part of this protest playing video footage of the investigation\, and we can take photos beside it. Note that washrooms are not available at the location. We recommend a washroom break beforehand at one of the restaurants nearby at our previous meeting spot (105 The Pond Rd.). Meeting at the outreach location will allow us to get started right away as people arrive. \nThis protest will focus on outreach to raise awareness and sharing the call to action. If possible please avoid large\, unrelated logos on clothing (such as brand names). 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. According 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• Monkeys drinking their own urine due to dehydration\n• Eye coils attached to the females’ eyes\, resulting in blindness in one macaque after repeated surgeries\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 24/7 \, resulting in difficulties swallowing\n• Multiple invasive surgeries over many years; some of the macaques have been there for 17+ years \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. Around the world\, there is increasing momentum toward phasing out animal testing in favour of modern\, non-animal research methods. The United States and the European Union 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 / TAKE ACTION/ SHARE:\nhttps://stopyorkprimateresearch.com

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.

SUMMARY:Protest to Stop York U Primate Research
DESCRIPTION:🚨 PROTEST TO STOP YORK UNIVERSITY’S PRIMATE RESEARCH\n📍 Meet at benches in front of Subway restaurant (no affiliation)\n🕜 Monday\, August 24th | 3 PM – 5 PM \nAt 3 PM\, we will gather at the benches in front of Subway before walking together to the protest location at/ by York University for a peaceful protest and friendly public outreach. It is easiest to find each other by arriving at the beginning\, but if you arrive late you can find us at the York U subway station entrances. \nSigns\, banners\, and leaflets will be provided. A media truck will also be around for part of this protest playing video footage of the investigation\, and we can take photos beside it. \nThis protest will focus on outreach to raise awareness and sharing the call to action. If possible please avoid large\, unrelated logos on clothing (such as brand names). 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. According 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• Monkeys drinking their own urine due to dehydration\n• Eye coils attached to the females’ eyes\, resulting in blindness in one macaque after repeated surgeries\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 24/7 \, resulting in difficulties swallowing\n• Multiple invasive surgeries over many years; some of the macaques have been there for 17+ years \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. Around the world\, there is increasing momentum toward phasing out animal testing in favour of modern\, non-animal research methods. The United States and the European Union 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 / TAKE ACTION/ SHARE:\nhttps://stopyorkprimateresearch.com/
