SUMMARY:Toronto Pig Save Weekly Vigil for the Pigs
DESCRIPTION:Toronto Pig Save Vigils now occur at the intersection of Harvester Rd & Appleby Line in Burlington next to Fearmans Slaughterhouse. \nDon’t turn away. Please join us to bear witness to\, and to speak up for\, the thousands of baby pigs whose lives are needlessly and violently stolen from them daily at Fearmans slaughterhouse. \nPlacards\, leaflets\, support are provided.\n—————————————————- \nPlease read these vigil and safety notes prior to attending. \n☮️ Keeping Save Movement vigils peaceful. The purpose of Save Movement vigils is to bear witness\, to see the reality\, to connect\, to document\, then to share with others. To bring peace to a violent space. \n🚍 Bear witness on the sidewalk side of the truck.  Harvester Road is extremely busy with transport trucks and other large vehicles. Please always pay attention to your surroundings. \n🙋‍Keep Arms out of the truck.  Please avoid the temptation to reach inside. Pigs are extremely large and heavy beings. Though they may not intend to hurt\, a human arm may frighten them and simple movement can crush or break bones. Instead\, offer your hand just at the opening of the truck. Some pigs will choose to come to you and sniff/lick your hand.  Many of these beings have not known kind human hands in the past. This may cause them stress. \n🚛 Moving away from the truck: The timekeeper will indicate when you should move away from the truck. Please be aware of your surroundings at all times\, and help others to keep safe too. \nThank you for your understanding and for coming to bear witness and to be their voice. \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:Toronto Cow Save Vigil for the Cows
DESCRIPTION:IMPORTANT:\nCovid:\nDue to Covid we ask that attendees keep 2 meters apart and/or wear a mask. \nBill 156\nA section of Bill 156 has taken effect prohibiting us to interfere or stop trucks. We do not forcefully stop trucks at these vigils anyway\, and don’t normally “interfere” but we do ask drivers to give us a few minutes with the cows prior to backing in. Some do\, some don’t. With a peaceful presence\, we hope they will continue to do so. Please come with peace to change the violent\, dark energy of this area of Toronto.\n********************************\nPlease join us for a vigil to bear witness to\, and to speak up for\, the hundreds of cows\, calves\, and lambs whose lives are needlessly and violently stolen from them daily at St. Helen’s slaughterhouse in Toronto.\nPlacards\, leaflets\, support are provided. \nPARKING: Please park in the parking lot of the Stock Yards Village shopping complex\, a 1 minute walk from the vigil site. There is no parking at the vigil and tickets are being issued.\n——————————-\nPlease read these vigil and safety notes prior to attending.👇 \n☮️ Keeping Toronto Cow Save vigils peaceful.\n1) Peace:\nThe purpose of Toronto Cow Save vigils is to bear witness\, to see the reality\, to connect\, to document\, then to share with others. To bring peace to a violent space. Disruptions can take place at a different time.\n2) Truck Drivers:\nMany drivers are now voluntarily giving us time to bear witness. This is due to building a place of respect over a long period of time. Though we know what they do for a living is wrong\, we remain respectful to the drivers for giving us this time to expose to the world the reality of farmed animals. We are not there to attack individuals\, but a whole system.\n3) Slaughterhouse Workers:\nSome workers may try to taunt (though rarely anymore). Offer a wave or peace sign instead of engaging in a negativity. Break the cycle of violence. \n🚍 Bearing witness on the sidewalk side of the truck:\n1) Stress for animals:\nWhen the cows are surrounded\, they may panic. Most have not had positive human interactions in their short lives and may see us as danger. Let’s not cause any added stress to these beings than they already have.\n2) Your safety:\nGlen Scarlett Road is extremely busy with transport trucks and other large vehicles. When bearing witness\, we are often not actively paying attention to our surroundings and tragedy could happen. \n🙋‍ Keep Arms out of the truck:\nWe’ve experienced a few serious injuries from vigil attendees putting hands/arms into the truck. Please avoid the temptation to reach inside for the following reasons:\n1) The truck may suddenly move\, trapping/taking you with it.\n2) Cows are extremely large and heavy beings. Though they may not intend to hurt\, a human arm may frighten them and simple movement can crush or break bones. Instead\, offer your hand just at the opening of the truck. Some cows will choose to come to you and sniff/lick your hand.\n3) Fear. Many of these beings have not known kind human hands in the past. This may cause them stress. \n🚛 Moving away from the truck:\nThe driver will often beep his horn when it’s time to back away or we will let you know. At that time we must (very\, very sadly) move away from the truck\, for your safety and to allow the driver space to back up. This is what they’ve agreed upon to voluntarily give us this time to bear witness. Not giving them the safe space may\, sadly\, break our agreement and end our ability to bear witness. Until we have a mass movement to free our friends\, this is what we must do to help them. \n❤️🐄🐑❤️ Thank you for your understanding and for coming to bear witness and to be their voice. Please bring a friend. They desperately need you. \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:Fearman's Truth Bombs @ the Intersection
DESCRIPTION:Fearman’s slaughterhouse is located at a busy intersection\, many people drive by not even knowing what it is and that Fearman’s kills 40\,000+ 4-6 month pigs each and every week. \nThese pigs enter the slaughterhouse terrified\, injured\, sick\, trapped\, thirsty\, suffering and sometimes dead and the people of Burlington need to know their tragic plight from birth to slaughter. They also need to know about our beloved friend and fellow activist Regan Russell that was struck down and killed by a slaughterhouse truck driver on June 19th. Regan was an amazing\, strong and beautiful human that would still be alive today if Fearman’s worked with us for a safety agreement to bear witness which they have refused even though Halton Police tried to get them to the table in 2019. \nWe spread out at the 4 corners at the Intersection at Appleby Line and Harvester Road. We hold signs\, sticker\, leaflet\, use the megaphone to raise awareness for the horrible injustice that happens in this horrific building each and every day and in all factory farms and slaughterhouses all around the world. \nThere may be an opportunity to bear witness on the median when the trucks are stopped at the red light but that is not always possible. Nobody is obligated to try and bear witness but some of us will given the opportunity. If you are on the median there are some safety rules that we will provide you. \nSigns\, stickers and leaflets are provided but feel free to bring your own. \nHope to see you there\, the animals need us! 💜 \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:Toronto Chicken Save Vigil
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a vigil for chickens at the Maple Leaf slaughterhouse in Toronto. \nPlease be aware that 2 trucks arrive (normally at the same time) and we bear witness to those 2 trucks. They can come anytime between 7:30pm – 9pm so we suggest activists arrive around 7:30pm so they don’t miss the trucks. \nThis is a love-based event. There are safety protocols put into place by both us and the slaughterhouse. Feel free to bring your own signs and please dress accordingly.

We do not forcefully stop trucks at these vigils anyway\, and don’t normally “interfere” but we do ask drivers to give us a few minutes with the cows prior to backing in. Some do\, some don’t. With a peaceful presence\, we hope they will continue to do so. Please come with peace to change the violent\, dark energy of this area of Toronto.\n********************************\nPlease join us for a vigil to bear witness to\, and to speak up for\, the hundreds of cows\, calves\, and lambs whose lives are needlessly and violently stolen from them daily at St. Helen’s slaughterhouse in Toronto.\nPlacards\, leaflets\, support are provided. \nPARKING: Please park in the parking lot of the Stock Yards Village shopping complex\, a 1 minute walk from the vigil site. There is no parking at the vigil and tickets are being issued.\n——————————-\nPlease read these vigil and safety notes prior to attending.👇 \n☮️ Keeping Toronto Cow Save vigils peaceful.\n1) Peace:\nThe purpose of Toronto Cow Save vigils is to bear witness\, to see the reality\, to connect\, to document\, then to share with others. To bring peace to a violent space. Disruptions can take place at a different time.\n2) Truck Drivers:\nMany drivers are now voluntarily giving us time to bear witness. This is due to building a place of respect over a long period of time. Though we know what they do for a living is wrong\, we remain respectful to the drivers for giving us this time to expose to the world the reality of farmed animals. We are not there to attack individuals\, but a whole system.\n3) Slaughterhouse Workers:\nSome workers may try to taunt (though rarely anymore). Offer a wave or peace sign instead of engaging in a negativity. Break the cycle of violence. \n🚍 Bearing witness on the sidewalk side of the truck:\n1) Stress for animals:\nWhen the cows are surrounded\, they may panic. Most have not had positive human interactions in their short lives and may see us as danger. Let’s not cause any added stress to these beings than they already have.\n2) Your safety:\nGlen Scarlett Road is extremely busy with transport trucks and other large vehicles. When bearing witness\, we are often not actively paying attention to our surroundings and tragedy could happen. \n🙋‍ Keep Arms out of the truck:\nWe’ve experienced a few serious injuries from vigil attendees putting hands/arms into the truck. Please avoid the temptation to reach inside for the following reasons:\n1) The truck may suddenly move\, trapping/taking you with it.\n2) Cows are extremely large and heavy beings. Though they may not intend to hurt\, a human arm may frighten them and simple movement can crush or break bones. Instead\, offer your hand just at the opening of the truck. Some cows will choose to come to you and sniff/lick your hand.\n3) Fear. Many of these beings have not known kind human hands in the past. This may cause them stress. \n🚛 Moving away from the truck:\nThe driver will often beep his horn when it’s time to back away or we will let you know. At that time we must (very\, very sadly) move away from the truck\, for your safety and to allow the driver space to back up. This is what they’ve agreed upon to voluntarily give us this time to bear witness. Not giving them the safe space may\, sadly\, break our agreement and end our ability to bear witness. Until we have a mass movement to free our friends\, this is what we must do to help them. \n❤️🐄🐑❤️ Thank you for your understanding and for coming to bear witness and to be their voice. Please bring a friend. They desperately need you

SUMMARY:World Day for Farmed Animals Vigils
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, an estimated 70 billion cows\, pigs\, chickens\, turkeys\, and other sentient land-based animals are caged\, crowded\, deprived\, drugged\, mutilated and macerated in the world’s factory farms. Then they are brutally slaughtered for our dinner table. Countless aquatic animals are caught and suffocated by vast trawler nets\, so we can have our fish fillet or tuna fish salad. \nSince 1983\, the annual observance of World Day for Farmed Animals on October 2nd (Gandhi’s birthday) has been offering people of conscience a superb opportunity to memorialize and mourn these innocent lives. An opportunity to ask their friends and neighbors to stop subsidizing senseless atrocities at their supermarket checkout counter. Hundreds of groups and individuals throughout the world participate each year. \nMeet us at the North / East corner of Appleby Line and Harvester Road. \nThere may be an opportunity to bear witness on the median when the trucks are stopped at the red light but that is not always possible. Nobody is obligated to try and bear witness but some of us will given the opportunity. If you are on the median there are some safety rules that we will provide you.\nSigns\, stickers and leaflets are provided but feel free to bring your own. \nHope to see you there\, the animals need us! 💜

SUMMARY:Toronto Chicken Save Vigil
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a vigil for chickens at the Maple Leaf slaughterhouse in Toronto. \nPlease be aware that 2 trucks arrive (normally at the same time) and we bear witness to those 2 trucks. They can come anytime between 7:30pm – 9pm so we suggest activists arrive around 7:30pm so they don’t miss the trucks. \nThis is a love-based event. There are safety protocols put into place by both us and the slaughterhouse. Feel free to bring your own signs and please dress accordingly.

SUMMARY:Fearman's Truth Bombs @ the Intersection
DESCRIPTION:Fearman’s slaughterhouse is located at a busy intersection\, many people drive by not even knowing what it is and that Fearman’s kills 40\,000+ 4-6 month pigs each and every week. \nThese pigs enter the slaughterhouse terrified\, injured\, sick\, trapped\, thirsty\, suffering and sometimes dead and the people of Burlington need to know their tragic plight from birth to slaughter. They also need to know about our beloved friend and fellow activist Regan Russell that was struck down and killed by a slaughterhouse truck driver on June 19th. Regan was an amazing\, strong and beautiful human that would still be alive today if Fearman’s worked with us for a safety agreement to bear witness which they have refused even though Halton Police tried to get them to the table in 2019. \nWe spread out at the 4 corners at the Intersection at Appleby Line and Harvester Road. We hold signs\, sticker\, leaflet\, use the megaphone to raise awareness for the horrible injustice that happens in this horrific building each and every day and in all factory farms and slaughterhouses all around the world. \nThere may be an opportunity to bear witness on the median when the trucks are stopped at the red light but that is not always possible. Nobody is obligated to try and bear witness but some of us will given the opportunity. If you are on the median there are some safety rules that we will provide you. \nSigns\, stickers and leaflets are provided but feel free to bring your own.\nHope to see you there\, the animals need us! 💜 \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:Toronto Pig Save vigil challenging the secrecy of ag-gag Bill 156
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our weekly vigil this Wednesday\, September 2\, 9-10:30 am. The Conservative Ontario Ford government is putting into force two clauses of the infamous ag-gag Bill 156 that specifically targets bearing witness to animal victims in front of slaughterhouses. We will continue to not look away and flee from a suffering creature but rather\, as Leo Tolstoy stated\, come close\, as close as we can to her\, and try to help. \nRead: https://www.thesudburystar.com/news/local-news/ontario-bill-prohibiting-animal-rights-activists-from-interfering-with-livestock-transport-takes-effect-wednesday/wcm/611a6702-e4c2-4ffa-bc4a-892f2dea46d7 \nPlease read these vigil and safety notes prior to attending. \n Keeping Save Movement vigils peaceful. The purpose of Save Movement vigils is to bear witness\, to see the reality\, to connect\, to document\, then to share with others. To bring peace to a violent space. \n Bear witness on the sidewalk side of the truck.  Harvester Road is extremely busy with transport trucks and other large vehicles. Please always pay attention to your surroundings. \n‍Keep Arms out of the truck.  Please avoid the temptation to reach inside. Pigs are extremely large and heavy beings. Though they may not intend to hurt\, a human arm may frighten them and simple movement can crush or break bones. Instead\, offer your hand just at the opening of the truck. Some pigs will choose to come to you and sniff/lick your hand.  Many of these beings have not known kind human hands in the past. This may cause them stress. \n Moving away from the truck: The timekeeper will indicate when you should move away from the truck. Please be aware of your surroundings at all times\, and help others to keep safe too. \nThank you for your understanding and for coming to bear witness and to be their voice. \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:Protest African Lion Safari
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a protest in front of African Lion Safari on August 22nd\, 2020 from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. We will be gathering on public property near the main entrance where we will hold signs and hand out leaflets to spread awareness. Leaflets will be provided but please bring a sign if you are able to. \nAfrican Lion Safari has been in operation since 1969. They are housing over 1000 exotic animals to be viewed for human entertainment. These animals include but are not limited to lions\, tigers\, elephants\, rhinos\, monkeys\, sheep\, and zebras. \nThese individuals deserve to be released to sanctuaries that can provide the best care for them. They are used to warmer climates and should be able to live freely without the gawking faces of tourists taking photos and bothering them ALL DAY LONG. \nPlease join us in defending the vulnerable. \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:Toronto Cow Save Vigil for the Cows
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a vigil to bear witness to\, and to speak up for\, the hundreds of cows\, calves\, and lambs whose lives are needlessly and violently stolen from them daily at St. Helen’s slaughterhouse in Toronto. \nPlacards\, leaflets\, support are provided. \nPARKING: Please park in the parking lot of the Stock Yards Village shopping complex\, a 1 minute walk from the vigil site. There is no parking at the vigil and tickets are being issued.\n——————————- \nPlease read these vigil and safety notes prior to attending.👇 \n☮️ Keeping Toronto Cow Save vigils peaceful. \n1) Peace:\nThe purpose of Toronto Cow Save vigils is to bear witness\, to see the reality\, to connect\, to document\, then to share with others. To bring peace to a violent space. Disruptions can take place at a different time. \n2) Truck Drivers:\nMany drivers are now voluntarily giving us time to bear witness. This is due to building a place of respect over a long period of time. Though we know what they do for a living is wrong\, we remain respectful to the drivers for giving us this time to expose to the world the reality of farmed animals. We are not there to attack individuals\, but a whole system. \n3) Slaughterhouse Workers:\nSome workers may try to taunt (though rarely anymore). Offer a wave or peace sign instead of engaging in a negativity. Break the cycle of violence. \n🚍 Bearing witness on the sidewalk side of the truck: \n1) Stress for animals:\nWhen the cows are surrounded\, they may panic. Most have not had positive human interactions in their short lives and may see us as danger. Let’s not cause any added stress to these beings than they already have. \n2) Your safety:\nGlen Scarlett Road is extremely busy with transport trucks and other large vehicles. When bearing witness\, we are often not actively paying attention to our surroundings and tragedy could happen. \n🙋‍ Keep Arms out of the truck: \nWe’ve experienced a few serious injuries from vigil attendees putting hands/arms into the truck. Please avoid the temptation to reach inside for the following reasons: \n1) The truck may suddenly move\, trapping/taking you with it. \n2) Cows are extremely large and heavy beings. Though they may not intend to hurt\, a human arm may frighten them and simple movement can crush or break bones. Instead\, offer your hand just at the opening of the truck. Some cows will choose to come to you and sniff/lick your hand. \n3) Fear. Many of these beings have not known kind human hands in the past. This may cause them stress. \n🚛 Moving away from the truck: \nThe driver will often beep his horn when it’s time to back away or we will let you know. At that time we must (very\, very sadly) move away from the truck\, for your safety and to allow the driver space to back up. This is what they’ve agreed upon to voluntarily give us this time to bear witness. Not giving them the safe space may\, sadly\, break our agreement and end our ability to bear witness. Until we have a mass movement to free our friends\, this is what we must do to help them. \n❤️🐄🐑❤️ Thank you for your understanding and for coming to bear witness and to be their voice. Please bring a friend. They desperately need you. \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.
