So frustrating, and so preventable. Secure your attractants.

Hopefully this has some teeth..

Next step: they need to ban animal testing on foods as well. Did you know #JustEgg and #ImpossibleBurger are animal tested products (and so not #vegan )? Full story on my @VeganFidelity blog: https://t.co/lrUK71ldRE #crueltyfree

The British Columbia government says it is permanently doubling the number of subsidized seats for people who want to train to become veterinarians and practice in the province. https://t.co/dXVd38SQ6m

Well this is depressing, we have a new disease for wildlife: plasticosis. It's found in sea birds from eating plastic. https://t.co/pVN8SUgJzJ

It's now the ninth year of British Columbia's wolf killing program, where hundreds of wolves are shot from helicopters every winter. It's time for this cruelty to end. Thank you for shining a spotlight on this issue @lavoiejudith. #BCpoli #SaveBCWolves

@cfax1070 @ColinPlant2022 Further to this - I would like to find out the last time this 'voting process' occurred where 10% of the CRD voted this way, and succeeded? Has it ever happened? I doubt it; this feels like a fixed process for a predetermined outcome.

[The Victoria Vegan @Victoria_Vegan]

@cfax1070 @ColinPlant2022 This was a sham process.

They didn't update their info page w vote process: https://t.co/cfIncuWDfv

If found, had to print a PDF, sign it, and either scan and email, or mail in, like it was 2003, not 2023.

Fixed process from the start, shame on the CRD.

ACTION NEEDED! The CRD is planning to kill Canada Geese as part of their 'management' proposal - need to print, sign & send in a letter, details here: https://t.co/qQAeFoGEIq (Sorry it's Facebook!)

[The Victoria Vegan @Victoria_Vegan]

Not a popular topic for some, but important nonetheless. Some good information why keeping cats indoors is important, for the cat, and especially for wildlife.

Lets make 2023 a year for wildlife and wildlands.

[VeganFidelity @VeganFidelity]

Not that we need another reason to dislike the ghoul that is Elon Musk, but this is horrific. Over 1500 individuals tortured and killed (not including mice & rats). This madness needs to end. https://t.co/dG9yUD3etR #vegan #endanimaltesting

[Rebeka Breder @animallawcanada]

It’s incredibly heart wrenching that humans can be this cruel. Hunters r tracking & tagging baby wolves so that these f*%* assholes can slaughter the entire family. Then, they have the audacity to call this “humane”. #savebcwolves

[VeganFidelity @VeganFidelity]

Spotted this on Reddit - nice to see when people actually get it; a shocking number of vegans are giving Just and Impossible a 'pass' over this. Read more here: https://t.co/68rUK9FnAv
