SUMMARY:Tell Kingfisher International NOT to Kill Its Lab Dogs!
DESCRIPTION:Ontario has officially passed a historic law banning most invasive medical research on dogs and cats! Because labs can no longer conduct invasive medical research on dogs and cats once the law takes effect on January 1\, 2027\, they must give surviving animals a second chance at life. \nAnimal Justice is aware of six testing labs in Ontario that have recently experimented on dogs or cats. \nWe reached out to these labs\, urging them to have compassion and commit to rehoming any dogs and cats before the January 1 deadline\, and offered to help. None of them responded to our request for a meeting or to commit to a rehoming plan. \nJoin us at Kingfisher International to urge decision makers to commit to a rehoming plan. With multiple rescue groups already prepared to house dogs and cats from these labs\, there is no excuse for them not to do the right thing. \nThis landmark provincial ban was won after Animal Justice exposed secret dog cardiac experiments at St. Joseph’s Hospital in London\, Ontario. \nJoin us at Kingfisher International on November 29 to make sure every lab dog gets placed into a loving home! \nBanner Photo: Nucro-Technics’ Lab\, Last Chance for Animals

SUMMARY:Animal Activists Year-End Bash @TheLab
DESCRIPTION:O’ come all ye feisty! Uh-oh…looks like somebody (Vish?!?) has finally given that fur-trimmed red suit the treatment it deserves! (ho-ho-HOLY MOLY!) \nYou’ve marched\, protested\, petitioned\, leafleted\, educated\, advocated\, served up vegan vittles\, and alienated and annoyed your friends\, family\, neighbours\, and colleagues all year long. Now it’s time to put down the placards and megaphones and take a break from saving the animals for a few short hours (don’t worry\, the exploiters will still be there on Sunday). \nJoin us for an evening of good food\, great company\, questionable dance moves\, and partaking in some well-deserved kicking back as we wrap up another year of speaking up for the animals. \nWhether you’re a seasoned activist or a relative newcomer\, we’d love to have you join us (Santa is NOT invited until he commits to going fur-free and gets himself an e-sleigh). It’s a chance to celebrate our collective efforts and recharge our batteries for the tough year ahead. \n🥗 It’s a potluck! Bring along your favourite vegan dish to share. Let’s put together a smorgasbord worthy of the occasion. Please label your contribution with your name\, the name of your dish\, and a list of ingredients (so everyone can enjoy the feast safely). \n📅 Saturday\, December 19 | 5–10 PM\n📍 The Lab | 108 Dundas St. W.\, Toronto \n💚 Admission is free! Donations to Wishbone Animal Rights Lab and The Lab are always gratefully appreciated and help us keep doing what we do. \nWe all know animal rights activism can be serious business…but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a seriously good time!\nLet’s end the year on a high note…together! 🌱🎉
