SUMMARY:AR Chats - 108 Dundas!
DESCRIPTION:Great start to 2026 at our most recent AR Chats\, with 26 passionate attendees.  Let’s keep the momentum going. \nCome join with other like-minded and like-hearted people to chat\, brainstorm\, and strategize about standing up for the animals! \nOn the agenda:  Along with general discussion about getting animal-active\, we’re hitting the ground running to plan this year’s Toronto Animal Rights March being held in May! \nDemo afterwards — hope you’ll join us! \nZoom link available.  Contact Jenny McQueen\, Colleen Burns\, or Sue Spahr for details. \nA few details about AR Chats @Wishbone: \nWhether you’re a seasoned advocate or someone new to the scene\, this is a judgment-free\, no-pressure environment that welcomes every idea and supports every comfort level.  Because each person is uniquely wired and different tactics resonate with different people\, there’s no one foolproof form of activism. \nAfter each session\, attendees are encouraged to participate in a street action to put your new skills and energy into practice (this is totally voluntary\, no pressure). And sometimes homework will be assigned and due for discussion at the next scheduled meeting. \nSome attend one week\, but can’t come to the next one…just attend when you can. \nPlease feel free to bring a plant-based food item to share. \nEvent time 2:30pm Let’s return Toronto and other cities in Ontario to the thriving\, prolific animal activism centres they once were! \nAs the building that houses Wishbone is a heritage building boasting one of the last attendant-operated elevators in the city of Toronto (but only during weekday office hours)\, Wishbone will unfortunately not be accessible to anyone requiring a lift to the third floor. Our apologies in advance for this inconvenience. \nWishbone Animal Rights Lab…where vegan is the default\, NOT the option.

SUMMARY:Sobey's Free the Hens This Valentine's
DESCRIPTION:Valentine’s Day Action for Hens 🐓❤️ \nDemand Sobeys Publish a Time-Bound Cage-Free Plan 📢🕊️ \nJoin Mercy For Animals volunteers this Valentine’s Day 💘 to stand up for love\, compassion\, and the millions of hens still trapped in cages in Sobeys’ egg supply chain 🐔💔. We are urging Sobeys to publish a clear\, time-bound plan 🗓️ to fulfill their long-overdue promise to eliminate extreme confinement for hens — a promise first made in 2016. \nIn 2016\, Sobeys and their parent company\, Empire 🏢\, publicly pledged to stop sourcing eggs from caged hens by 2025 🐓✅. Years later\, despite ruling some of Canada’s largest and most profitable grocery brands 💰 Empire removed that deadline in 2021 ⏳❌\, leaving hens in prolonged suffering 🐔💔. \nSobeys promised an updated plan 📝 — but has still not shared how or when they will complete this transition 🚫🐓.\nThis Valentine’s Day 💖\, we’re calling on Mr. Pierre Saint-Laurent\, CEO of Sobeys 👔\, to use his position of power 💪 to put love into action — to publish a time-bound plan 🗓️ and finally let the hens out of cages 🐓🌱. Love isn’t just a feeling — it’s compassion in action 💚✨. \nWhen: Friday\, February 14\, 2026 📅\nTime: 1:00 PM ⏰\nWhere: Sobeys – 24 Fort York Blvd\, Toronto\, ON M5V\, Canada 📍 \nWe’ll be there with banners\, signs\, and leaflets 📣🖌️ to inform the public and hold Sobeys accountable to their own promise ✅🐓.\nBring yourself — and bonus if you bring a friend! 👯‍♀️💚 \nIf you have any questions\, feel free to message me on Facebook 💬 or email animalsmatter@hotmail.com 📧. \nLearn about our current Canadian campaign here: https://empireofgreed.ca \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…). \nThank you\,\nKelli Demontneay 🐓❤️🌱 \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:Campaign-In-An-Hour: AI Tools for Animal Advocates
DESCRIPTION:A pay-what-you-wish(bone) presentation! The Lab is a volunteer-run\, largely self-funded initiative. Donations from kind people allow us to host more community-building events\, develop more programming\, conduct more workshops\, create more content\, purchase more equipment and literature\, and cover our operating costs. \nReady to put AI to work for animals — ethically\, creatively\, and with purpose — and turn ideas into effective strategies you can actually use? Brains and heartlights on! Here’s your spark-to-strategy way to go about it. \nMike Wigmore of Equip AI\, a long-time vegan and animal activist\, brings a rare and powerful combination to the table: Deep AI and technical expertise paired with serious creative juice. \nMike doesn’t just understand the tools — he knows how to play with them\, push them\, and shape them into strategies that advocates can actually use. \nThis workshop is designed like a Lab experiment: We’re taking an idea\, testing it\, refining it\, and extracting real-world advocacy outputs — all in real time. \nNo abstract tech talk — Mike will guide participants through the full lifecycle of an animal rights campaign\, showing how AI can support each phase:\n• from initial hypothesis (campaign idea)\n• to research and context-building\n• to setting up a context-aware AI project\n• to rapidly generating usable\, resonating campaign materials and strategies \nTogether\, we’ll build a comprehensive animal rights campaign within an hour or so\, centred on a real issue…which shall be revealed on the day of! \nThe resulting strategy will be something you can tweak\, adapt\, and build upon for other issues\, long after the workshop ends. \nWhat’s on the Lab bench:\nTool Tour\n* a fast-paced run-through of several AI tools — what they do\, how they differ\, and where they’re most useful for advocacy\n* Mike will show how to prompt effectively — not just what to ask\, but how to guide AI toward sharper\, more nuanced results \nLive Campaign Build\n* using a real-world animal advocacy issue\, Mike will demonstrate how AI can help design a multi-pronged campaign that speaks to different audiences and motivations — logic\, compassion\, ethics\, environmental impact\, health\, and more\n✨ No advanced tech knowledge required!\n✨ Ideal for activists\, creatives\, organizers\, campaigners\, and curious humans\n✨ A more hands-on follow-up session is planned for a future date \nAnimals need us to be nimble\, strategic\, and creative — and AI can give advocates a powerful edge over their non-vegan counterparts. Used thoughtfully\, these tools can help us move faster\, test ideas sooner\, and turn good intentions into coordinated action.\nSupercharge your animal advocacy — without replacing your heart\, values\, voice…or brain! \n“Don’t panic — the robots work for the animals.”\n— Vish\, Chief Lab Assistant See less

SUMMARY:Ethics in Action with Animal Justice
DESCRIPTION:Animal Justice’s first Ethics in Action event of 2026 is just around the corner! \nFor the past couple of years\, these events have brought together professionals who share a commitment to animal protection\, ethical leadership\, and thoughtful engagement. This upcoming gathering marks a special edition of the series\, and will feature Melanie D.G.

SUMMARY:Online Panel: What it Takes to End Live Horse Export
DESCRIPTION:Register Now: https://action.animaljustice.ca/page/186884/petition/1? \nHorses hold a special place in Canadian hearts. Yet every year in Canada\, thousands of gentle\, intelligent horses are crammed into wooden crates for long\, terrifying flights to Japan\, only to be slaughtered for sashimi—a delicacy for the wealthy. \nWe came close to banning this cruel practice last year. Then\, with an election and the new Mark Carney government\, the fight had to begin again. \nMomentum\, though\, is building: Various MPs in the House of Commons are working to keep this on the government’s agenda\, but we need more MPs to step up to push a ban across the finish line during this Parliament. \nOur February Animal Justice panel will bring together some of the top leaders in the fight for horses in Canada to share the path forward—and why your action is critical right now as we get closer to finally ending live horse export. \nOur panelists: \n-Jann Arden: Canadian singer/songwriter & head of the HORSESHIT campaign\n-Kaitlyn Mitchell: Director of Legal Advocacy at Animal Justice\n-Alexandra Mendès: Member of Parliament for Brossard – Saint-Lambert\n-Dr. Pamela Corey: Equine veterinarian\n-Sandy Sharkey: Equine photographer & advocate \nHosted by: Animal Justice’s Kimberly Carroll \nWe’ll cover: \n-The political pathway to getting a ban\n-What Animal Justice’s investigations reveal about transport deaths and suffering\n-How to meet with your MP and advocate effectively\n-Communicating about this issue in a compelling\, persuasive way \nIf you care about horses\, join us—and be part of the charge to shut down the live horse export industry for good.\nRegister now to secure your spot: https://action.animaljustice.ca/page/186884/petition/1? \nLet’s make this the moment we finally shut down the live horse export industry for good. 🐴 \n

SUMMARY:Zoom w/Moby: The Ridglan Rescuers are on the Right Side of History
DESCRIPTION:Music legend and lifelong animal rights activist Moby joins the rescuers who walked into Ridglan Farms — the second-largest beagle experimentation breeder in the U.S. — and walked out with 30 dogs destined for death. Moby will tell us why the Ridglan rescuers are on the right side of history. And you’ll learn how you can join the effort to rescue all 2000 dogs at Ridglan on April 19! \nFREE to attend with registration:\nhttps://docs.google.com/…/1FAIpQLSdbG907hYHuLQ…/viewform \nFULL DESCRIPTION\nRidglan Farms bred thousands of beagles for pharmaceutical experimentation. On March 15\, activists rescued 30 of them — and caused a media firestorm. Now they’re planning to recruit 1000+ new rescuers to join them to get all 2000 dogs trapped at Ridglan out of their cages and into loving homes. \nAnd Moby — vegan since 1987\, lifelong animal rights activist\, creator of the Punk Rock Vegan Movie — is now supporting the effort. Moby has been on the front lines of this moment. He’s compared animal rescuers to the suffragettes and the civil rights movement. “They’re on the right side of history.” Now he’s joining the Ridglan effort live to talk about what happens next. \nWHAT YOU’LL HEAR:\n→ Moby on why this could be a turning point for animal rights.\n→ First-person accounts from the activists who walked into Ridglan Farms on March 15 and carried beagles to freedom.\n→ Why the March 15 rescue is just the beginning — and how you can be part of what comes next on April 19\n→ How to get involved at whatever level feels right for you\, from sharing the story to joining a future action \nWHY THIS MATTERS RIGHT NOW:\n60\,000 dogs are used in U.S. laboratories every year. Most of them are beagles — chosen because they’re gentle\, trusting\, and don’t fight back. Ridglan Farms was breeding them by the thousands for exactly that purpose. The open rescue on March 15 and the legal and public pressure campaign that followed didn’t just save the dogs at Ridglan Farms. It could mobilize public opinion on April 19 to save tens of thousands of dogs across the nation. \nWHO THIS IS FOR:\nYou don’t need to be an activist. You don’t need experience. If you’ve ever looked at a dog and felt that they deserve better than a laboratory cage — this conversation is for you. As Moby puts it: everyone already agrees that animal suffering is wrong. The only question is whether we turn that belief into action.

SUMMARY:Mobilizing Against Live Exports: Part 2
DESCRIPTION:It’s working. \nThanks to supporters across Canada\, the movement to end live horse exports for slaughter is gaining real political traction and MPs are feeling it. \nHere’s what’s already been achieved together:\n-167 people have requested meetings with their MPs\n-42 meetings have been scheduled or have already taken place\n-41 paper petitions have been launched\n-MPs have told us this is now one of the top issues they’re hearing about from constituents\n-11 MPs have agreed to present petitions in the House of Commons calling for a ban via regulations\n-10 MPs have committed to raising the issue directly with the Prime Minister\, the Minister of Agriculture\, or in Parliament\n-On March 24\, Senator Adler raised a question of live horse exports in the Senate \nThis issue is moving through the political system in a way we haven’t seen before. \nBut we are not done yet. \nTo turn this momentum into a ban on this cruel practice\, we need to grow public pressure and keep increasing the number of Canadians engaging their MPs. \nHere’s How to Join Us: \n1. Email your MP’s constituency office to request a meeting to ask that they help ban live horse exports by raising the issue with the Prime Minister and Agriculture Minister\, requesting that they ban the practice by amending the Health of Animals Regulations. You can find your MP’s contact information HERE: https://www.ourcommons.ca/members/en\n2. Add your name to our tracking form HERE: https://docs.google.com/…/1FAIpQLSdb2bvsLBM…/viewform… \nEmail Script (Feel free to adapt in your own words): \n“Hello\, my name is [NAME]\, and I’m a constituent of [NAME OF MP]. I’m writing to request a meeting with [MP’S NAME] regarding live horse exports for slaughter. This is an important animal welfare issue to me\, and I would appreciate the opportunity to meet in person or by Zoom to discuss having [NAME OF MP] raise the issue with the Prime Minister and Agriculture Minister and request that they ban it by amending the Health of Animals Regulations.
