SUMMARY:How to Transition to a More Plant-Based Food System
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of the University of Alberta’s Sustainability Awareness Week \nThere is an urgent need to transition to a more plant-based food system to reduce the environmental footprint of food production\, mitigate zoonotic infectious disease risks\, improve dietary health and reduce chronic disease\, and avoid many harms to both farmed and wild nonhuman animals. But how can we achieve such a transition in the face of the economic and cultural forces that perpetuate the unsustainable status-quo of a food system that is far too reliant on animal products? \nIn this session our speakers will discuss with us some vitally important concrete steps that can be taken both in the setting of institutions like the University of Alberta and other public and private institutions to rapidly achieve the much needed transition to a more plant-based food system. These include working to implement the aims of: \nDefaultVeg\, which is seeking to make plant-based food the default in universities and other public and private institutions\, while giving people the choice to opt in for meals with animal products; \nThe Canadian University Campaign\, which is working to implement plant-rich catering in campus food services at universities across Canada; \nNation Rising\, which is lobbying to shift multi-billion dollar government subsidies away from animal agriculture and towards funding a just transition to a plant-based food system\, and; \nProVeg International\, which works with international decision-making bodies\, governments\, food producers\, investors\, the media\, and the general public to help the world transition to a society and economy that are less dependent on animal agriculture and more sustainable for humans\, animals\, and the planet. \nSpeakers: \nJoey Tuminello on DefaultVeg \nEleanor Carrara on the Canadian Universities Campaign \nKathleen Kevany on the Universities Campaign at Dalhousie \nDarlene Levecque on Nation Rising \nJessika Ava on ProVeg International Grants \nSimone Luhr on ProVeg International Institutional Initiatives \nSpeaker Bios: \nJoey Tuminello is an assistant professor of philosophy at McNeese State University\, and a program coordinator for the nonprofit organizations Farm Forward and Better Food Foundation\, including the DefaultVeg campaign. His research interests include the philosophies of food\, medicine\, animals\, and environment through the lenses of hermeneutics\, pragmatism\, and Jainism. At McNeese\, Joey mostly teaches biomedical ethics and occasional sections of ethical theory and existentialism. \nEleanor Carrara (B.Sc. McGill\, MBA Concordia)\, is Executive Director of the Organizing Committee for the Plant-Based Transition Coalition. Eleanor started the Canadian university campaign in the fall of 2020 working with the senior leadership\, dining & sustainability teams\, ambassadors\, and organizations such as DefaultVeg to promote the plant-based transition. Eleanor has been a committed life-long animal rights activist and environmentalist. Her professional career as Vice President of Sales Operations at one of the largest global digital infrastructure companies had occupied most of her time over the last couple of decades. She now dedicates herself full time to combatting animal agriculture and promoting plant-based diets. \nKathleen Kevany is an Associate Professor and Director of Rural Research Collaborative with Dalhousie University\, Faculty of Agriculture\, where she specializes in sustainable diets\, well-being\, and systems analysis. She is on advisory boards for Canadian Food Studies\, and Journal of Agriculture\, Food Systems\, and Community Development\, as well as the President of the Canadian Rural Revitalization Foundation. Kathleen is a certified counsellor\, psychotherapist and soon to complete certification in Plant-based Nutrition with Cornell University. She has thirty years experience working within business\, government\, and community development and was the Chief Energy Orchestrator (CEO) of The Decentralized Intelligence Agency. Kathleen delights in building relationships based on curiosity\, openness\, compassion\, and playfulness. She also relishes making delectable dishes that nourish people and are friendly to the planet. \nDarlene Levecque is co-founder and executive director of Nation Rising\, a non-partisan political advocacy group lobbying the federal government to shift subsidies from animal agriculture and towards a plant-based food system for the benefit of the people\, the planet\, and animals. Darlene holds a honours bachelor of science in languages from Laurentian University\, and a deep expertise in human resources and project management acquired during her tenure of over 30 years at a prominent Canadian telecommunications company. Darlene’s passion for animals has translated into volunteering her time for more than 15 years with several Canadian dog-rescue organizations\, devoting her time to fundraising and fostering special-needs dogs. \nJessika Ava directs the ProVeg Grants Program\, where she works to expand vegan advocacy efforts worldwide through strategic capacity-building efforts. Jessika’s niche lies in coordinating global projects\, quantitative program evaluations\, and guiding philanthropic and grantmaking support. Her notable experience includes NGO management\, international grantmaking\, biostatistics\, and Asian street animal welfare. She sits on the Board of Directors of Umano\, A Just World\, and Out to Pasture Animal Sanctuary\, and is a member of Grantmakers for Effective Organizations and multiple advisory boards. She holds an MS in Biostatistics\, an MPA in Nonprofit Management and Program Evaluation\, and a BS in Biology. \nSimone Lühr works at ProVeg Germany in both the research team and the food services team. Since 2017\, she has been a project manager responsible for organizing cooking training courses for chefs\, especially for university canteens. In these\, she educates chefs on the “why” and “how” of plant-based nutrition and cooking. She helps to increase the availability and quality of vegan food in community catering. She also works as a research associate on solutions for sustainable animal-free agriculture. She holds a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Biology with a focus on biodiversity and ecology. \nSDG Connection: # 2\, 3\, 6\, 12\, 13\, 14\, 15 \nJoin us on Facebook Live or via Zoom:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/82596359251 \n3PM PDT\n4PM MDT\n5PM CDT\n6PM EDT

SUMMARY:The Greenwashing of Animal Agriculture
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of the University of Alberta’s Sustainability Awareness Week. \nThere is a well established body of evidence showing that diets based heavily on animal products are not sustainable\, and that a transition to a much more plant-based food system is imperative in order to address climate change\, land and water use\, pollution\, and zoonotic infectious diseases. But the animal agriculture industry has responded by creating and funding its own research\, similar to the tobacco and oil industry. This industry-funded research has had a major impact on confusing the public about the extent to which animal agriculture poses an environmental risk that needs to be addressed by a transition to a more plant-based food system. \nIn this session our speakers will discuss with us some of the ways in which the animal agriculture industry has been disseminating misleading research and how this research has misled the public about the needed policy responses to our unsustainable animal-based food system. \nSpeakers will speak for the first hour followed by interactive discussion. \nSpeakers: \nVasile Stanescu on “‘Urgent Action Is Required’: Animal Agriculture\, Greenwashing\, and Climate Change\,” and \nTushar Mehta on “The Myth of Regenerative Grazing” \nSpeaker Bios: \nDr. Vasile Stanescu is associate professor of Communication Studies at Mercer University. Stanescu is co-editor of the Critical Animal Studies book series published by Rodopi/Brill\, the co-founder of the North American Association for Critical Animal Studies (NAACAS)\, the former co-editor of the Journal for Critical Animal Studies\, and former co-organizer of the Stanford Environmental Humanities Project. Dr. Stanescu is the author of over 20 peer-reviewed publications on the critical study of animals and the environment. Dr. Stanescu’s research has been recognized by The Woods Institute for the Environment\, Minding Animals International\, The Andrew Mellon Foundation\, the Culture and Animals Foundation\, the Institute for Critical Animal Studies\, and the Institutul Cultural Român (Institute for Romanian Culture)\, among others. \nDr. Tushar Mehta studied at McMaster University and then completed medical school and residency at the University of Toronto. Currently\, he practices Emergency Medicine and has also spent many years practicing Family Medicine and Addictions Medicine. Dr. Mehta also participates in international health projects\, having volunteered on a yearly basis in rural India\, and is now doing work in Haiti (hephaiti.com). Over the past five years\, Dr. Mehta has taken a strong interest in the medical evidence regarding plant-based diet and health\, as well as the comparative impact of plant versus animal based agriculture on environment and food security. He studies the academic literature regarding these subjects in order to develop a comprehensive understanding\, and works to educate others on these important topics. Along with a small team\, Dr. Mehta founded Plant Based Data (plantbaseddata.org)\, an online database which collects and organizes the most important academic and institutional literature regarding the impact plant diet has on health\, environment and food security\, including the role of animal agriculture in creating pandemics. This includes a section on economics and policy. The resource is free to access\, and meant to assist others in their education\, writing\, advocacy and policy work. \nSDG Connection: # 2\, 3\, 6\, 12\, 13\, 14\, 15 \nJoin us on Facebook Live or via Zoom:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/85457131016 \n5PM PDT\n6PM MDT\n7PM CDT\n8PM EDT

SUMMARY:Nation Rising Speaker Series with David Pereira
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, August 21\, for another Speaker Series! David Pereira will be speaking about his experience with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and why animal agriculture subsidies are wrong. \nDavid Pereira spent 15 years working for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. After witnessing so many horrible situations and learning that he did not have to be a part of what was happening to cows\, chickens\, pigs or fish he became vegan for the animals. \nDavid dedicates the majority of his time sharing his story in the hopes that he may inspire others to follow their intuition\, go vegan\, and become activists. He is looking to become a full time activist through patronage and content creation. \nAs an Animal Rights activist\, he works on a number of different campaigns\, outreach\, demos and assisting others in hopes that they will gain confidence to do the same. He also creates content on his small YouTube channel and will be in an upcoming documentary “They Call Us Criminals”. \nHe is seeking to gain rights for non-humans and will not stop until this is done. \n“It’s all I ever do and I will never stop.” – David Pereira \nJoin us on Facebook Live or via Zoom (link forthcoming). \n12PM PDT\n1PM MDT\n2PM CDT\n3PM EDT\n_____________________________________ \nFollow David on social media: \nInstagram: @the_40_yearoldvegan\nYouTube: @The40yearoldVegan\nTikTok: @the40yearoldvegan\nPatreon: @The40yearoldVegan

SUMMARY:Evolve Our Prison Farms - Sanctuary or Slaughterhouse?

Evolve is a 100% volunteer-run\, supported by experts in law\, criminology\, environmental science\, labour studies\, social work and animal therapy\, as well as hundreds of prisoners and thousands of Canadians. Evolve Our Prison Farms supports plant-based “green” agriculture which could be coupled with a recognized model of animal-assisted therapy (no slaughter or farming of animals).

SUMMARY:Beyond Cages: Animal Law and Criminal Punishment
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to a special lecture featuring Justin Marceau\, Professor and Animal Legal Defense Fund Professor of Law at the University of Denver. Professor Marceau is an expert in the fields of criminal law and animal law\, and has published leading articles in both disciplines. \nProfessor Marceau will discuss his new book\, Beyond Cages: Animal Law and Criminal Punishment. \nWhen: Monday\, February 11\, 6:30 pm \nWhere: Room J125\, Jackman Law Building\, 78 Queen’s Park\, University of Toronto Faculty of Law \nFor all the diversity of views within the animal protection movement\, there is a surprising consensus about the need for more severe criminal justice interventions against animal abusers. More prosecutions and longer sentences\, it is argued\, will advance the status of animals in law and society. Breaking from this cold\, Professor Justin Marceau demonstrates that a focus on ‘carceral animal law’ puts the animal rights movement at odds with other social justice moments\, and may be bad for humans and animals alike. Animal protection efforts need to move beyond cages and towards systematic solutions if the movement hopes to be true to its own defining ethos of increased empathy and resistance to social oppression. Providing new insights into how the lessons of criminal justice reform should be imported into the animal abuse context\, Beyond Cages is a valuable contribution to the literature on animal welfare and animal rights law. \nThe event is jointly presented by the Animal Law Lab at University of Toronto Faculty of Law\, Animal Justice\, the University of Toronto Animal Justice club\, and the Osgoode Hall Animal Justice club. Refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Brampton Chicken Save & Earthling Ed Special Vigil
DESCRIPTION:Brampton Chicken Save is proud to have Earthling Ed join us for an afternoon on July 11th! Earthling Ed is a world-renown animal advocate\, valiantly giving talks\, changing minds and bearing witness. As part of his Ontario tour\, he will be joining us for a special chicken vigil outside of Maple Lodge in Brampton. \n1:00 – 4:00 PM on Wednesday\, July 11th. (for updates check event page at https://www.facebook.com/events/704427189727852/?active_tab=about)\n8301 Winston Churchill Blvd.\, L6Y0A2 \nPlease join us outside Maple Lodge – the largest chicken slaughterhouse in North America. We will be bearing witness to just a few of the 500\,000+ chickens killed per day\, as well as reaching out to commuters. \nTRANSIT DIRECTIONS: Input your starting location in Triplinx to see the most efficient routes for you. You can edit the options to exclude any transit systems you’d prefer to avoid. https://www.triplinx.ca/ \nPARKING: The farmer that owns the plot of land across from the slaughterhouse has given us permission to use the strip of grass along the road. However\, as a lot of people will likely show up we do encourage you to carpool as to not use up much of the space\, and save on gas & pollution. We will play it by ear as the event goes on. Please use the comments in this event page to arrange carpooling if you’d like to. \nWHAT/WHO TO WEAR/BRING: We do have signs\, but we expect to run out. You are encouraged to get creative and bring what you make so long as it’s love-based\, thought-provoking and productive. Please bring appropriate clothing for the weather. It’s meant to be very sunny\, so consider UV protection and shade for your skin. \nChildren are very much welcome and are encouraged to show off their love for the animals to ensure that people know the future generation will carry out justice for all sentient beings. Relatives\, friends\, colleagues — anyone you’d like to bring to show why you care is welcome. Veganism is not a requirement\, it’s a goal. \nMAPLE LODGE INFORMATION: \nThis is a perfect opportunity to see expose how industrialized this cruelty is and to shine a light on the more than half a million deaths per day. \nThe bulk of these deaths are the thirty-eight-day-old babies. They are not old enough to be considered adults\, just the product of decades of selectively breeding for debilitatingly accelerated growth. Each truck carries 10\,000 of these babies and they’re brought in around the clock. \nThe rest of these deaths are former egg-laying hens. Maple Lodge is the only slaughterhouse in this area of North America allowed to kill egg-layers. Maple Lodge acquires these hens for free as they are considered a waste product by farmers and hatcheries all across Ontario\, and as far as New York\, Pennsylvannia and Ohio. \nWHY BEAR WITNESS TO CHICKENS? \nChickens are loving creatures\, with the same capacity for pain and love as the rest of the animal kingdom. There is a misconception that we aim to dissipate in that some believe chickens are incapable of emotion\, or that there is a difference between hen companions and slaughtered chicks. They’re all one in the same. The only difference being the happy ones living a cozy life in backyards or sanctuaries were given the opportunity to flourish as an individual and show off who they are. We want to make the connection for people\, and show them it is WHO they were eating\, and not WHAT is on their plate. \nWHAT IS BRAMPTON CHICKEN SAVE? \nBrampton Chicken Save is part of the worldwide network known as The Save Movement. Through purely love-based activism\, we aim to open up minds and expose the suffering of these animals whom are denied individualism in the name of tradition and maintaining the long debunked logical fallacy that animal products are a necessary and healthy part of life. \nhttps://www.bramptonchickensave.org/ \nWHAT IS THE SAVE MOVEMENT? \nThe Save Movement does not condone any harassment\, vandalism\, ill-temperedness or vitriol towards any slaughterhouse employees or law enforcement. We maintain an image of good will as to not sully the message of non-violence for the sake of personal vendettas. We ask that you curb your anger and use that effort towards telling the animals’ stories to the world to normalize living vegan and to force the connection. \nhttp://thesavemovement.org/ \nWHAT IS THE END GOAL? \nWe don’t want a more ‘humane’ slaughter to take place. We want to make animal agriculture a chapter in history books pertaining to civil rights. It will take a long time\, but with you fighting for them\, their voices are louder than ever\, and the movement is growing day by day. If your effort can translate into even one changed mind\, it’s worth it. We are the raindrops hitting the asphalt from this increasingly heavy cloud just before the torrential downpour. There’s a storm brewing\, and you’re the drop that breaks the tension and starts it.

SUMMARY:Carol Adams on “The History\, Business\, Cultural Dynamics and Gender Politics of the Ordinary Hamburger”
DESCRIPTION:Writer\, feminist\, and animal rights advocate Carol Adams will speak about her new book\, Burger. All registered attendees will receive a signed copy of the book and a seat for the talk. \nBOOK SYNOPSIS: The burger\, long the All-American meal\, is undergoing an identity crisis. From its shifting place in popular culture to the efforts\, by investors such as Bill Gates\, to seek to find the non-animal burger that can feed the world\, the burger’s identity has become as malleable as that patty of protein\, itself\, before it is thrown on a grill. Carol Adams’s Burger is a fast-paced and eclectic exploration of the history\, business\, cultural dynamics and gender politics of the ordinary hamburger. \nBIOGRAPHY: Carol J. Adams is the author of numerous books\, including The Sexual Politics of Meat\, Neither Man nor Beast: Feminism and the Defense of Animals and The Pornography of Meat. She is the co-editor of several path-breaking anthologies\, including most recently Ecofeminism: Feminist Intersections with Other Animals and the Earth (with Lori Gruen). Her work is the subject of two recent anthologies\, Defiant Daughters: 21 Women of Art\, Activism\, Animals\, and The Sexual Politics of Meat and The Art of the Animal: 14 Women Artists Explore The Sexual Politics of Meat\, in which a new generation of feminists\, artists\, and activists respond to Adams’ groundbreaking work.

SUMMARY:Clean Meat: Paul Shapiro Speaking Event
DESCRIPTION:Paul Shapiro gives you a front-row seat for the wild story of the race to create and commercialize cleaner\, safer\, sustainable meat—real meat—without the animals. From the entrepreneurial visionaries to the scientists’ workshops to the big business board¬rooms—Shapiro details that quest for clean meat and other animal products and examines the debate raging around it. Since the dawn of Homo sapiens some quarter million years ago\, animals have satiated our species’ desire for meat. But with a growing global popula¬tion and demand for meat\, eggs\, dairy\, leather\, and more\, raising such massive numbers of farm animals is woefully inefficient and takes an enormous toll on the planet\, public health\, and certainly the animals themselves. But what if we could have our meat and eat it\, too? The next great scientific revolution is underway—discovering new ways to create enough food for the world’s ever-growing\, ever-hungry population. Enter clean meat—real\, actual meat grown (or brewed!) from animal cells—as well as other clean foods that ditch animal cells altogether and are simply built from the molecule up. Whereas our ancestors domesticated wild animals into livestock\, today we’re beginning to domesticate their cells\, leaving the animals out of the equation. From one single cell of a cow\, you could feed an entire village. And the story of this coming “second domestication” is anything but tame. \nLocation: Fleck Atrium (Ground floor\, North Building)\, Rotman School of Management\, U of Toronto\, 105 St George Street\, Toronto\, ON \nTickets: http://www.rotman.utoronto.ca/ProfessionalDevelopment/Events/UpcomingEvents/20180105PaulShapiro \nNote: Please check the event page for updates.
