Do not miss CTV's W5 today at 7pm ET to find out what the meat industry is trying to hide with ag gag laws.
I had the privilege of working with Animal Justice on this important case and I can certainly tell you this is an investigation you do not want to miss!

.@CTVW5 speaks to an undercover investigator about what he witnessed while filming hidden-camera footage inside of a pig farm in southwestern Ontario. Watch 'Farm Secrets' this Saturday at 7 p.m. ET #ctv #farmsecrets

Undercover investigations on factory farms always document some form of illegal animal abuse or neglect (even beyond legally permitted mistreatment). Every single time. There’s no such thing as “one bad apple” when the entire system is rotten.

Winners joins the ranks of many other retailers and designers who have ditched fur! #makefurhistory #furiscruel #furfree

If we want to get serious about climate change, we need to get serious about what we eat. Canadians are no exception to this rule.

Turkeys are sensitive, incredible and complex animals, each with their own distinct personality. With all the wonderful alternatives (like @Tofurky and others) it’s so easy to make the compassionate choice and leave turkeys (and all animals) off your plate.

Today, Israel announced a country-wide ban on the sale of fur. Progress for animals is possible and happening all around the world.

[Fur Free Alliance @FurFreeAlliance]

BREAKING NEWS: Israel to ban #fur trade 🇮🇱😻Yesterday the Israeli Minister of Environmental Protection announced to end fur sales and called exploiting the skin of wild animals for the fashion industry "immoral" 🚫#FurFreeIsrael #MakeFurHistory Read more➡️ https://t.co/sIQsnlJUci

Today is #WorldAnimalDay.
Did you know that the majority of animals in Canada have virtually no legal protection?
Did you know that if you did any of things that are routinely done to farm animals on factory farms to a dog or cat, you’d face charges for animal cruelty?

[Alanna Devine @AlannaKDevine]

Very timely that on #WorldDayForFarmedAnimals @Sentient_Media discusses the role of humane societies in protecting animals (particularly farmed animals) and enforcing laws. I was happy to provide my insight into these issues.

Manitoba seems to be following Ontario and Alberta in seeking to pass legislation that stifles the exposure of animal cruelty and public health issues within the agricultural industry.

Well done France! Time for the rest of the world to catch up.

[Animals Australia @AnimalsAus]

Incredible news! France's environment minister has announced a ban on wild animals in circuses, dolphins and orcas in marine parks AND mink farming for fur, saying “It is time to open a new era in our relationship with these (wild) animals” 🙌#progress https://t.co/YtVT90ePbE

This is literally insane. In the middle of a global zoonotic pandemic that originated in China, the World Bank is providing multi-million dollar loans to expand Chinese factory farming. The kicker is that this is African Swine Fever recovery funding. Pandemic accelerationism.

[Alanna Devine @AlannaKDevine]

Our food system is broken and deeply unjust, COVID-19 is just highlighting these underlying issues.

[Alanna Devine @AlannaKDevine]

Even when the suffering inflicted on farm animals goes beyond what the industry itself deems "acceptable" and "necessary" for their own financial interests, the consequences (or lack thereof) are laughable.

Nice to see some good news about the #cruel #fur #industry. Fur is an unnecessary luxury item that causes unimaginable animal suffering. There is simply no excuse to wear, buy or use fur.

[Animal Justice @AnimalJustice]

Cruel #fur is on its way OUT! 👋

"A lot of the major department stores have banned fur...there's less demand," said Selma Arany, director of sales & marketing at Montreal's Splendour Fur. "The younger generation will not wear fur."

@DxEverywhere found #coronavirus at a #pig farm in California.
Evidence of the link between #pandemics and #animal agriculture is overwhelming.
If we’re worried about #COVID19 we need to rethink our entire broken #food system.

[Direct Action Everywhere @DxEverywhere]

WATCH:An investigation into Smithfield’s Farmer John pig farm in California found a coronavirus that could mutate &become deadly to humans.

So many calls lately about dogs purchased from “breeders” or broker.
A bit of research, and I discover that puppy mills are still in full swing in Quebec, now they just have permits from MAPAQ.
Who’s surprised? (Hint, not me).
Laws are only as good as those enforcing them.

Israel has more vegans per capita than anywhere else in the world.
Yesterday, this commercial about veganism aired during the most popular TV show in the country.

“It boggles my mind how when we have so many diseases that emanate out of that unusual human-animal interface, that we don’t just shut it down.”

If you’re worried about pandemics and are still eating animals and animal products, you have some serious questions to ask yourself.

[Jan Dutkiewicz @jan_dutkiewicz]

"Eating meat, it seems, is a socially acceptable form of science denial."

@astradisastra, @TroyVettese and I wrote for the @guardian about the links between COVID-19 and modern agriculture, and what we need to do to change it.
