SUMMARY:Toronto - National Anti-Fur Day 2018
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at the south entrance of the Eaton Centre\, near Yonge and Queen from 1pm to 3pm for the first part of this protest. \nWe’ve extended this event to 7pm – to accomodate some signs that light up – those that are able to stay past 3pm might want to get some dinner then come back for 5pm – meeting at Nathan Phillips Square. Jenny Henry and Rose Galacz-Weir will be looking after this later portion 🙂 \nWe’ll have posters and postcards to pass out to the public. You’re also welcome to bring your own signs. The amount of fur trim on the streets of Toronto is growing – come and help educate the public as to why animals don’t deserve to be used as a fashion statement. All welcome 🙂 \nPhoto credit: Jo-Anne McArthur\, We Animals \nPlease check the Facebook page for updates: https://www.facebook.com/events/1596432600476682/

SUMMARY:Fur Free Friday - Toronto 2017

This is a non-violent event\, where signs and leaflets are provided\, though home made signs are also welcomed\, as well as partnerships with all other organizations fighting the fur trade.

SUMMARY:Canada Goose Protest Following Down Supplier Investigation
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a protest at a Canada Goose retailer following PETA’s investigation into one of the company’s down suppliers. The exposé reveals that workers rounded up panicked geese\, carried them by their necks\, and crammed them into cages for transport to slaughter. The birds were so frightened that they shrieked in distress and trampled each other in order to escape. Geese on the bottom of the pile were crushed or suffocated. You can learn more about the investigation and take action here: https://investigations.peta.org/geese-crushed-suffocated-at-canada-goose-down/. \nWe will provide goose masks and posters. Email EmilyL@peta.org with any questions. \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:Fur Farm from Hell - Protest Animal Torture in Gads Hill
DESCRIPTION:People who have witnessed Unique Fur Farm can attest to the deplorable conditions animals are forced to suffer in here. The smell of concentrated urine and feces that can be smelt from the road is sickening. The disgusting owners of this derelict property even went so far as to cover thier mink sheds and the front of the farm in black plastic rolls \, depriving the animals of ventilation during a heat wave in order to prevent the public from viewing the dispicable specatacle of horror. Neighbors of these awful fur farmers have even shown support for this cruel treatment of living creatures. \nComplaints of neglect and cruelty sent the the OSPCA about this farm have gone publically unresponded to once again. Multiple violations of the NFACC codes of practice for mink care are viewable from the road. \nOn Saturday\, October 21st people from across the region will be convening here to publically call out these fur farmers and stand in unity against fur farm animal cruelty. Please help us draw attention to this travesty and demand a full ban on fur farming in this province! \nMore information about the campaign to #EndFurFarming can be found at www.endfurfarming.com \nPlease dress for the weather. Black clothing is preferable. Bring noise makers. Signs will be provided. Please be respectful of other demonstrators. \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:Protest MPP Michael Harris - Ban Fur Farming Now!
DESCRIPTION:Join the coalition to #EndFurFarming in demanding Conservative MPP Michael Harris’s (Kitchener-Conestoga) take immediate action to ban fur farming in Ontario. \nMichael Harris has 2 known fur farms within his riding. When a member of the coalition met with the MPP and showed him video evidence of animal neglect\, Michaels response was “there is a market for fur” and “the conservative party is not big on bans”. \nMPP Michael Harris’s inaction to protect animals and instead endorse the cruel fur farm industry has left community members feeling sick and frustrated. \nUndomesticated animals like mink and fox suffer physical and psychological torture on these local factory farms. They are restricted from performing natural behaviours and engage in self mutilation during extended periods of inactivity. They live in small wire cages and live a life of anxiety\, boredom\, fear\, sickness\, and stress. Many people agree killing animals for a rediculous clothing decoration is sick. Fur farming has been banned in multiple countries already. Please join us in demanding justice for these poor animals! \nIf you are unable to attend this protest please support us by calling Michael Harris’s office and demand a ban on fur farming! 519.954.8679 \nVideos of fur factory farms in Michaels Riding: \nSpringbrook Fur Farm:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-4s17R92CQ&t=1217s \nLichty Fur Farm: \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FD1EErH_Pbk \nPlease dress for the weather.

SUMMARY:Protest During Fur Auction Event at NAFA
DESCRIPTION:Community Action Against NAFA Fur Auction \nJoin animal advocates and organizations from across the province and beyond as we protest Canadian fur trade animal cruelty during NAFA’s July fur auction. \nThis protest is part of the # End Fur Farming campaign which seeks to ban fur farming in Ontario\n# Make Fur History\nMore info here: http://www.koala.work/endfurfarming/ and here: http://makefurhistory.com/ and here: http://www.furfreealliance.com/ \nFur farming and the use of cruel leg hold traps have been banned in many countries and jurisdictions around the world. A growing number of people recognize that killing animals for nothing more than a clothing decoration is unethical and immoral and that this practice does not reflect contemporary values of society. Let’s take action in defense of the countless animals victimized by the fur trade and put an end to their suffering once and for all! \nNorth American Fur Auctions (commonly known as NAFA) is a Canadian company that auctions on consignment fur pelts harvested in Canada and the United States. Its services are used by both large fur farms and small-time trappers. Its auctions are held three to four times a year in Toronto. It is the largest fur auction house in North America\, and the second largest in the world. Millions of animal pelts are sold here annually. \nIn addition to holding auctions\, NAFA is also the headquarters for the Canadian Mink Breeders Association ( http://www.webtext.ca/canadamink.ca/ ) which is responsible for the marketing\, and promotion of the fur farming sector. \nNAFA is also the founding member of the North American Fur Industry Communications group (NAFIC) ( http://www.truthaboutfur.com/en/about-nafic )\, established in 2013 as a cooperative public educational program for the fur industry in Canada and the USA. NAFIC disseminates dis-information via the Internet under the brand name “Truth About Fur”. \nATTENTION! In a coordinated effort to thwart NAFIC from disseminating lies about the fur trade we are asking everyone to hijack their hashtag#TRUTHABOUTFUR. Please use this hashtag on twitter\, Facebook\, and other social media platforms when posting about anti-fur actions\, articles\, blogs\, protests\, etc. This hashtag is seen by people interested in purchasing fur products\, politicians\, and fur industry advocates. \nPlease boycott and educate people about clothing brands that use real fur and profit directly from animal cruelty\, such as Canada Goose\, Rudsak\, and Nobis. \nSigns will be provided. If you choose to bring your own\, please keep it classy.

SUMMARY:Shut Down NAFA
DESCRIPTION:Join Toronto/GTA activists in demanding a ban on fur farming in Ontario at North American Fur Auctions. This protest is part of the Weekend of Action against fur farming where animal protection groups & concerned citizens are organizing an entire weekend of public demonstrations against fur farming (May 26-May 28). More information about the campaign to #EndFurFarming will be posted soon. \nNAFA Canada HQ\n65 Skyway Avenue\, Toronto\, ON\nM9W 6C7\nTime: 4-7pm\nDress for the weather. Signs will be provided.\nCarpooling highly recommended to get as many activists out to this Weekend of Action against fur farming. \nNAFA is the world’s oldest fur auction house\, headquartered in Toronto\, Canada. Their horrific roots trace back to 1670\, to the historic Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC)\, which was created to market the cruelest furs from North America to the world. From the earliest days\, the marketing of furs was done in a competitive environment\, originally by a sealed bid and subsequently at public auction\, in which the price level for each fur type was determined by supply and demand. The HBC operated out of London\, England; Montreal\, New York and Toronto from 1670 to 1992\, after which time it became North American Fur Auctions. \nToday\, NAFA continues these age-old barbaric traditions\, and holds competitive public auctions three to four times per year as the principal method of selling the most disgraceful collection of mink and the world’s most horrifying collection of wild fur to the international market. It’s very disturbing that people actually attend these auctions to bid on animal skins so let’s educate the city and the world about the terrifying plight of fur-farmed animals. \nFeel free to look into what NAFA is all about and perhaps shoot them an email expressing how you feel about what they support via there website: http://www.nafa.ca/about/ \nThe issues:\nFur farms are the puppy mills or our era. Foxes\, minks\, and chinchillas spend thier lives in confinement and frustration in filthy wire cages breathing in poison gas from thier own feces and urine. These local farms are in operation across Ontario. There are no government inspections\, no regulation\, no accountability\, and no protection for these animals. \nConfining and killing animals for a frivolous clothing decoration can not be justified and the majority of Canadians support a ban on fur farming. As countries across the world implement fur farm bans\, the government of Ontario continues to allow the fur industry to run amok unchecked – leaving animals to be vicitimized (There are approx. 60 fur farms in Ontario). \nYOUR tax money is directly supporting animal cruelty. The Federal and Provincial governments have spent millions of dollars subsidizing Canadian fur farms and issuing grants for fur “research” at institutions like the University of Guelph. This waste of our tax funds is a slap in the face to real struggling farmers who are going belly up while the fur industry rakes in huge profits. \nFur farms are a direct threat to the environment. Waste\, carcasses\, and run off from these farms have destroyed watersheds across Nova Scotia – putting human and animal heath at risk. Advocacy by water protection groups and the David Suzuki Foundation lead to the implementation of the Nova Scotia Fur Farm Act which imposes environmental regulations on these farms. Ontario has no such regulation leaving our waterways at risk of contamination. \nIf you want to stop animal cruelty\, protect the environment\, and want the government to stop wasting your tax money – please join us to demand a complete Ontario ban on fur farming. \nLinks for further info:\nMap of Fur Farms – North America / Ontario\nhttps://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1DlPL25yA_quH7vva0zlX65HP4Yw&hl=en_US&ll=52.369851372037516%2C-93.88413639999999&z=4 \nAnimal Cruelty:\nhttp://makefurhistory.com/videos/#foobox-1/0/QAwHtWqV0sg\nhttp://www.furfreealliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Case-against-fur-farming.pdf \nFur Farm environmental risks:\nhttp://www.davidsuzuki.org/media/news/Mink%20Industry%20and%20Lakes%20in%20Nova%20Scotia%201.pdf \nTax Wasting:\nhttp://www.huffingtonpost.ca/gabriel-wildgen/fur-farming_b_6437000.htm \nNote: Please check Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:End Fur Farming Weekend of Action
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the #EndFurFarming Weekend of Action! \nCheck out our End Fur Farming webpage!\nhttp://www.koala.work/endfurfarming/ \nJoin people from across the province and beyond in demanding a complete Ontario-wide ban on fur farming. Whether you want to stop animal cruelty\, protect the environment\, or want to see your tax dollars stop going into the toilet – this weekend has something for everyone! \nBelow is a list of five #EndFurFarming demonstrations in Southern Ontario. The dates and times of these five protests have been staggered so that people have the ability to attend each demonstration. Join our collective group as we travel across the province from fur farm to fur farm throughout the weekend or feel free to attend a demonstration in your area. \nWe are also asking for people or organizations outside the region/outside Canada to hold solidarity demonstrations at fur farms and/or at Canadian embassies in their own area/country (North America fur farm map below). \nSome demonstrators will be camping out overnight at the Elora Gorge Conservation Area on Sat\, May 27th.

Foxes\, minks\, and chinchillas spend thier lives in confinement and frustration in filthy wire cages breathing in poison gas from thier own feces and urine. These local farms are in operation across Ontario. There are no government inspections\, no regulation\, no accountability\, and no protection for these animals. \nConfining and killing animals for a frivolous clothing decoration can not be justified and the majority of Canadians support a ban on fur farming. As countries across the world implement fur farm bans\, the government of Ontario continues to allow the fur industry to run amok unchecked – leaving animals to be vicitimized (There are approx. 60 fur farms in Ontario). \nYOUR tax money is directly supporting animal cruelty. The Federal and Provincial governments have spent millions of dollars subsidizing Canadian fur farms and issuing grants for fur “research” at institutions like the University of Guelph. This waste of our tax funds is a slap in the face to real struggling farmers who are going belly up while the fur industry rakes in huge profits. \nFur farms are a direct threat to the environment. Waste\, carcasses\, and run off from these farms have destroyed watersheds across Nova Scotia – putting human and animal heath at risk. Advocacy by water protection groups and the David Suzuki Foundation lead to the implementation of the Nova Scotia Fur Farm Act which imposes environmental regulations on these farms. Ontario has no such regulation leaving our waterways at risk of contamination. \nIf you want to stop animal cruelty\, protect the environment\, and want the government to stop wasting your tax money – please join us to demand a complete Ontario ban on fur farming. \nLinks for further info:\nMap of Fur Farms – North America / Ontario\nhttps://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1DlPL25yA_quH7vva0zlX65HP4Yw&hl=en_US&ll=52.369851372037516%2C-93.88413639999999&z=4 \nAnimal Cruelty:\nhttp://makefurhistory.com/videos/#foobox-1/0/QAwHtWqV0sg\nhttp://www.furfreealliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Case-against-fur-farming.pdf \nFur Farm environmental risks:\nhttp://www.davidsuzuki.org/media/news/Mink%20Industry%20and%20Lakes%20in%20Nova%20Scotia%201.pdf \nTax Wasting:\nhttp://www.huffingtonpost.ca/gabriel-wildgen/fur-farming_b_6437000.html \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page(s) for updates.

SUMMARY:End Fur Farming Phone Email Action
DESCRIPTION:For more information on the campaign to ban fur farming in Ontario please visit:\nhttp://www.koala.work/endfurfarming/ \nPlease call and/or email Jeff Leal – the Ontario Minister of Agriculture and demand a ban on fur farming in Ontario. \nPhone: 416-326-3074. \nEmail: jleal.mpp.co@liberal.ola.org \nBelow is a script you can read when calling/emailing. Please leave a message if calling after hours. Feel free to call multiple times! \n————————–————————–————————–—– \nHello my name is _____. I am calling to let Minister Jeff Leal know that I support a ban on fur farming in Ontario. \nThe confinement and killing of fur bearing animals for an uncessary luxury item like fur is inhumane and unethical.\nI find it appalling that animals are killed for a useless clothing decoration. Fur farming is animal cruelty and it should be illegal. \nPlease do what is right and just and put an end to this cruel practice! \n————————–————————–———————–\nTo take further action\, please contact your local MPP with the same messaging. MPP contact info below: \nhttp://www.ontla.on.ca/web/members/members_current.do?locale=en \nNote: Please check Facebook event page for updates.
