Action for Chickens

Join Direct Action Everywhere and Toronto Chicken Save as we demand at City Hall that the City of Toronto recognize the consciousness of chickens and acknowledge that there is no humane way to exploit them. This will be followed by a historic march (2+ hours) from City Hall to the Maple Leaf Poultry slaughterhouse demonstrating our willingness for self-sacrifice towards the liberation of animals. The march will include a disruption of a Canada Post postal station where we will demand an end to the shipping of live baby chicks through the mail, part of the invisible #TRUTH behind backyard chickens.

BACKGROUND

This action kicks off our joint campaign to stop the City’s plan to introduce backyard chickens. The issue is going to be voted by City Council on October 2, 3 and 4. Our campaign includes a petition; targeted meetings with animal-friendly councillors; partnerships and coalition development (e.g.Animal Alliance of Canada, Microsanctuary Movement); and escalated future direct actions.
