SUMMARY:World Day for Farmed Animals
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to an all-day vigil for the billions of innocent lives needlessly used and taken by humans each year. We ask you to fast for 24 hours on October 2\, Gandhi’s birthday anniversary. Please take a selfie with a message and use the #FastAgainstSlaughter\nThe Farm Animal Rights Movement (FARM) is organizing events worldwide: \n“Each year\, an estimated 56 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 subsiding senseless atrocities at their supermarket checkout counter. Hundreds of groups and individuals throughout the world participate each year.” \nWe hope that you will too. \nFor more information visit: www.DayForAnimals.com\nOrder free literature to hand out on WDFA: https://www.dayforanimals.com/resources/\n#FastAgainstSlaughter\n#WDFA \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:5 DAY VIGIL Against Construction of New MapleLeaf Slaughterhouse
DESCRIPTION:We will be holding a five day vigil and hunger strike for the animals for the first time in Toronto. \nThis year our activists friends from Spain will be holding a similar 5 day vigil due to the opening of Europe’s biggest slaughterhouse in Binefar and we will also be standing in solidarity with them. \nThe vigil will start on Sunday\, August 25 at 540 College St. We will hold a protest and memorial for the chickens and pigs Maple Leaf Foods has killed and proceed to march to the Maple Leaf “Poultry” slaughterhouse at 100 Ethel Avenue where we will be setting camp for the next 5 days. The Toronto slaughterhouse is closing in two years and Maple Leaf Foods is currently constructing a mega chicken slaughterhouse in London\, Ontario. \nDEMANDS: \n1. We demand Maple Leaf Foods immediately stop construction of the chicken slaughterhouse in London\, Ontario #StopMapleLeafViolence \n2. We demand Maple Leaf transition to a 100% vegan\, plant-based protein company. \nMaple Leaf Foods owns plant based protein products LightLife and Field Roast. CEO Michael McCain cited climate youth activist Greta Thunberg at the 2019 shareholders meeting\, “The house is on fire!” and urged attendees to watch her speech at the World Economic Summit at Davos. At a time when we face a climate emergency\, it is unthinkable and beyond irresponsible to construct a new slaughterhouse. Rather all slaughterhouses need to shut down and food companies have to move towards a just\, plant-based food system. \nWe will be bearing witness to the chickens and cows that are going to Maple Leaf Foods and St. Helen’s and Ryding-Regency slaughterhouses in the area during the entire week. Together with other groups of The Save Movement\, we want to raise awareness about what happens in these places filled will violence and suffering\, and\, in addition stay there\, where no one wants to go\, to show the public the reality and to show the animals love\, during some of the hardest moments of their short lives. \nThe organizers will be on site 24/7. \n#HungerStrikeAgainstMapleLeaf \nWe invite vigil participants to fast for the entire week.\nIf you are not able to fast\, we still need you! We need many activists present in order to draw the much needed public attention to these places. We also encourage you to invite non-vegan friends and family members so they can see the injustice these animals face. \nPROGRAM: \nWe will have daily activities\, trainings and workshops as well as outreach at the intersection of St. Clair and Keele. Schedule to be announce in coming weeks. \nThe Save Movement is a non-violent organization. Please . read our code of conduct before joining the vigil. \nMISSION STATEMENT: \nWe hold peaceful vigils at slaughterhouses to bear witness to the millions of farmed animals whose lives are needlessly taken each day\, and to bring public awareness to their plight. Bearing witness to the living animals that we consume has a profound effect on our choices and to our attitude towards these sentient beings who are mostly hidden from public view. To witness and to feel their suffering\, to see them as the unique\, individual lives that they are will strengthen our resolve to end this cruelty. We believe that ending violence and oppression must be done with love and kindness for all beings\, regardless of sex\, race or species. \nRESPECT FOR ANIMALS: \n• Stay Calm: Animals are very sensitive to our energy. Approach truck slowly\, calmly and quietly so as not to frighten animals more than they are already.\n• Noise: Animals are extremely sensitive to noise and are already under a great deal of stress. Consider not speaking at all or\, if you must\, speak in a soft and quiet tone.\n• Flash: Avoid pointing your flash directly at the animals\, as this will further stress the animals\, only use it from the side. The organizers have a flash they will use to help you with your photography and videos.\n• Touching: Exercise discretion when engaging with and touching the animals; don’t scare them. \nSAFETY: \n• The organizers will be safety marshals and wear reflective vests\, they are there to keep attendees safe near trucks.\n• Approach truck once the organizers have finished speaking with the driver and when safety marshals signals that it’s safe. Truck drivers cannot see you.\n• Stay on the ground\, do not climb trucks. We cannot cause damage to any property as trucks or the slaughterhouse buildings\, as this will result in a fine for the organizers.\n• Bear witness on curb side of truck\, not on traffic side.\n• Don’t put arms in trucks. If truck moves or animals panic\, you can be seriously injured. \nINTERACTION WITH SLAUGHTERHOUSE WORKERS: \n• Speak to drivers\, employees\, and police with respect\, even if they do not. We are there to promote peace. We wish to maintain a good relationship with the workers\, as this may benefit us in the long run and allow us to enter the premises or save animals.\n• Resist temptation to react/respond to provoking from employees in a negative manner.\n• Oppose violence with love and kindness. We are a movement wishing to spread compassion. \nPUBLIC OUTREACH: \n• Stay peaceful and positive. Avoid temptation to respond to negative comments with negative responses.\n• In areas with traffic and by passers you can hold a sign at the road or leaflet\, when not bearing witness. If you choose not to\, please go to a designated break area so as not to detract from the seriousness of our message. Let’s make this short time speaking up for animals as effective as possible. They need us! \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:Toronto Pig Save Monthly Vigil for the Pigs
DESCRIPTION:Don’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 Fearman’s slaughterhouses. \nPlacards\, leaflets\, support are provided.\n——————————- \nPlease read these vigil and safety notes prior to attending. \n☮️ Keeping Save Movement vigils peaceful. \n1) Peace:\nThe 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. Disruptions can take place at a different time. \n2) Truck Drivers:\nMany drivers are now (incredibly) voluntarily giving us time to bear witness. This is due to building a relationship over a long period of time. Though we don’t respect what they are doing for a living\, let’s respect the drivers for giving us this time to show the world the plight of farmed animals. \n3) Slaughterhouse Workers:\nSome workers may try to taunt (though rarely anymore). Offer a wave or peace sign instead of a negative reaction. Break the cycle of violence. \n? Bear witness on the sidewalk side of the truck (for two reasons): \n1) Stress for animals:\nWhen the pigs are surrounded\, they may panic and try to flee causing a stampede. 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:\nHarvester 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) 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. \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: \nOur awesome safety guide will blow a whistle when our time is up to bear witness. 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. \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:KW Animal Save Vigil with Joshua Entis
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a vigil for the pigs with activist @Joshua Entis! \nOver the past year\, nearly 100\,000 people have watched Joshua travel the world\, participate in over 250 animal rights movements\, and motivate thousands of people to choose compassion and take veganism seriously. \nJoshua has been devoting his time to public speaking\, developing skill workshops\, and one-on-one consulting. He fills people’s minds with positivity and encourages them to live with conviction and purpose. In order to achieve total animal liberation\, Joshua will continue his global work and become the loudest voice possible. https://www.joshuaentis.com/ \nLOCATION/PARKING: \nDrive to 313 Menno Street\, Breslau\, Ontario\, N0B 1M0. Park on LONSDALE Road. To avoid getting a ticket\, park on the street about 100m past the slaughterhouse\, beyond the sign that says no parking. Please note that there is no public transport close to the slaughterhouse. If you would like to carpool you can post on this event page. If this is your first time driving to this slaughterhouse feel free to let us know you are coming so that we can give you contact information in case you get lost. \nPLEASE NOTE:\nWe are a love-based group who believe that we can achieve more through compassion than through force. Violence\, drugs\, or negativity are not welcome at vigils. This includes anger vocalized to truck drivers. Although we are all angry with the trucks and what they are doing\, we gather to show empathy for the animals\, spread compassion\, and raise awareness. \n“When the suffering of another creature causes you to feel pain\, do not submit to the initial desire to flee from the suffering one\, but on the contrary\, come closer\, as close as you can to (they) who suffer\, and try to help (them).” -Leo Tolstoy \nIF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME AT A SLAUGHTERHOUSE VIGIL:\nIf you have any questions or if you are nervous about attending a vigil and would like to talk to someone about your fears or concerns please use the message feature to contact us or email us at kwanimalsave@gmail.com We’ve all experienced bearing witness for the first time. We know that it can be intimidating and scary\, especially if you don’t know anyone. People have many different reactions to bearing witness. Sometimes people can’t stop crying\, sometimes people feel angry and sometimes people feel numb and don’t react emotionally at all. We will be there to support you and stand beside you (or give you some space if that is what you need.) \nPlease read the Save Movement Code of Conduct before attending a vigil. If you have any questions or concerns please use the message feature to contact us or email us at kwanimalsave@gmail.com \nhttp://thesavemovement.org/code-of-conduct/ \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

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.
