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. Could someone please get back to me about scheduling? Thank you.” \nYou can consult our Action Brief for further details.\nhttps://docs.google.com/…/1klJagihzoC5j4OgcBQOP…/edit… \nSo what are you waiting for?

SUMMARY:Online Event: From Animal Farmers to Animal Advocates
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW: https://bit.ly/3Ovstjv \nPeople who make their living from animal agriculture are often the staunchest defenders of the industry—which is why it matters when a few of them change sides and start fighting for animals instead. \nThis Animal Justice panel brings together former animal farmers\, a slaughterhouse inspector\, and a ranch worker whose conscience and compassion led them from producing and killing animals to advocating for them. \nSome have gone on to open animal sanctuaries. Others have become vocal animal activists and vegan leaders. All of them offer something we don’t get often enough: firsthand accounts from inside animal agriculture—what they saw\, what they did\, and what sparked a change of heart that went against their livelihood\, culture\, and community. \nOur panelists:\n-Renée King-Sonnen: Former cattle rancher & Executive Director of Rowdy Girl Sanctuary\n-Mike Lanigan: Former cattle rancher & co-founder of Farmhouse Garden Animal Home\n-Jennifer Barrett: Former chicken farmer\n-David Magna: Former slaughterhouse inspector turned animal rights advocate\n-Edith Barabash: Former cattle ranch worker & Executive Director of Farmhouse Garden Animal Home \nHosted by: Animal Justice’s Kimberly Carroll \nIn this conversation\, panelists will share:\n-The animals and moments that changed them\n-Farming and slaughter practices that would shock most people\n-The beliefs that kept them in the industry—and what finally cracked their thinking open\n-How they transitioned out of animal agriculture and rebuilt their lives\n-What advocates should understand about the industry and the mindset of people inside it\n-What they’ve learned about effectively reaching non-vegans \nThis is an especially powerful panel to invite people who care about animals but haven’t connected the dots yet. And for advocates\, it’s a rare chance to hear directly from industry insiders—gather meaningful stories and insights for your own outreach and reignite your hope. \nBecause if people who once made their living from animal exploitation can change… anyone can. \nRegister now to secure your spot! https://bit.ly/3Ovstjv
