SUMMARY:Toronto Chicken Save Vigil
DESCRIPTION:Chickens are one of the most abused animals on the planet. Toronto Chicken Save holds regular vigils for the chickens to bear witness to\, to speak up for\, and to bring awareness to the thousands of lives who are needlessly and violently stolen daily at this Toronto slaughterhouse. Please join us.\nTwo trucks are scheduled to arrive together within the timeframe of this vigil. The manager or security guard on duty normally will voluntarily allow us to spend five minutes with each truck. They have asked that we bear witness from the side of the truck that is along the grass\, not the side of the street for safety reasons\, and would appreciate if we wore safety vests. Please be respectful of these requests\, as they do not have to let us spend time with the chickens.\nJoin us! Bring a friend. Be their voice. Be the change you want to see in the world. \nPlease read our safety guidelines below prior to arriving.\n——————————-\n PARKING\nPlease park in south end of the parking lot of Metro grocery store (directly behind the store)\, closest to Ethel Avenue and Maple Leaf Food Inc.\n COVID\nTo reduce the spread of COVID we recommend that attendees do their best to follow Toronto safety measures.\n Bill 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\, however Maple Leaf managers have agreed to voluntarily let us spend five full minutes with each truck. 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——————————-\nKeeping Toronto Chicken Save vigils peaceful. \n Peace:\nThe purpose of Toronto Chicken 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 should take place at a different time.\n Truck Drivers:\nThough 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.\n Slaughterhouse Workers:\nOffer a wave or peace sign instead of responding negatively if a worker engages with you. Break the cycle of violence.\n Stress for animals:\nThe chickens we bear witness to are very young and scared. 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. Artificial light\, like a camera flash\, has a big impact on birds. Never use a flash at night. If you do\, it may startle the bird and cause injury. When it’s dark out\, instead of using a flash\, please select a higher ISO speed. Be careful if using a flashlight to not shine them directy in the chickens’ eyes.\n Your safety:\nEthel Avenue is extremely dark in the evening/night and at times busy with transport trucks and other large vehicles. Please dress visibly\, dress according to the weather\, and carry a light source with you. When bearing witness\, we are often not actively paying attention to our surroundings and tragedy could happen. Please only bear witness from the side of the truck that is along the grass\, not the side of the street. Safety vests will be provided.\nKeep arms and hands out of the truck:\nAvoid the temptation to reach inside for the following reasons:\nThe truck may suddenly move\, trapping/taking you with it.\nFear. Many of these beings have not known kind human hands in the past so human hand/arm may cause them stress. \nMoving away from the truck:\nEveryone will be notified when five minutes is up. At that time we must (very\, very sadly) move away from the truck\, for your safety. Not giving them the safe space may\, sadly\, end our ability to bear witness. Until we create a mass movement to free our friends\, this is what we must do to help them.\nThank you for your understanding and for coming to bear witness and to be their voice. Please bring a friend. They desperately need you there. \nNote: Please check the Toronto Chicken Save event page for updates/cancellations. (Actual event link may differ than the the one below).

SUMMARY:Toronto Pig Save Wednesday 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) 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. Disruptions can take place at a different time.\n2) Truck Drivers:\nThough 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🙋‍ 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 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:Toronto Cow Save Vigil for the Cows
DESCRIPTION:Toronto Cow Save holds regular vigils for the cows to bear witness to\, to speak up for\, and to bring awareness to the hundreds of lives who are needlessly and violently stolen daily at Toronto slaughterhouses.\nJoin us!

To bring peace to a violent space. Disruptions should take place at a different time.\n Truck Drivers:\nMany drivers are now voluntarily giving us time to bear witness. This is due to building a place of understanding 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.\nSlaughterhouse 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.\nPlease do not put cameras in the faces of workers or drivers without their permission.\nBearing witness on the sidewalk side of the truck:\n 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.\n 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.\nKeep arms and hands out of the truck:\nAvoid the temptation to reach inside for the following reasons:\nThe truck may suddenly move\, trapping/taking you with it.\nCows are extremely large and heavy beings. Though they may not intend to hurt\, a 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.\nFear. Many of these beings have not known kind human hands in the past so human hand/arm may cause them stress.\nMoving 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 allow the driver space to back up. Not giving them the safe space may\, sadly\, end our ability to bear witness. Until we create a mass movement to free our friends\, this is what we must do to help them.\nThank you for your understanding and for coming to bear witness and to be their voice. Please bring a friend. They desperately need you there. \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:Vigil and Outreach for the Fish
DESCRIPTION:We will be one of 30 Save Movement chapters around the world participating in Global Fish Vigil Week. Come and join us to educate our neighbours and fellow Hamiltonians about the plight of aquatic animals. We will honour their lives. Fortinos sells live lobster so that they can be painfully boiled alive. That is in addition to many other live and dead fish sold there. Fish are friends not food. They have families and feel pain just like us. To adhere to local health regulations there will be a maximum of 25 attendees. Masks are mandatory. Thank-you for speaking up for the fish and all aquatic life! \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

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.

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.

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:No New Slaughterhouse in Toronto - STOP Tru-Harvest "Meats" Inc
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on March 1 at 12:00 PM at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) office at 1122 Finch Ave W Unit 22\, North York for a demonstration against the opening of a new cow & calf slaugherhouse in Toronto\, and at 1:30 PM for another demo & vigil for the cows and calves arriving for slaughter at Tru-Harvest slaughterhouse at 70 Glen Scarlett Rd. \n***Due to the COVID-19 pandemic\, we request that everyone wear a mask and maintain physical distancing. If there are more than five people at the demonstration\, we will ask that everyone form groups of 5 and spread over different corners of the street*** \nTru Harvest “Meats” plans to open a new slaughterhouse\, at the same site as Ryding-Regency\, on Monday and they intend to kill 1\,600 cows per week including baby calves for “veal”. Ryding-Regency was closed in 2019 for E-Coli contaminated “meat” after the company deceived the CFIA by providing false or misleading information test results. \nWe DEMAND that the CFIA and Toronto’s City Council: \n• WITHDRAW the license to Tru Harvest “Meats” to open a new slaughterhouse in Toronto.\n• STOP the proposed killing of 83\,200 cows per year. 3.7 million cows are killed each year in Canada. Over 292 million cows and baby calves are killed globally every year.\n• STOP subjecting innocent animals to unimaginable suffering and violence. In the proposed halal and kosher slaughterhouse\, animals are not going to be stunned and will be fully conscious as they are going to die slow painful deaths. Linda McQuaig\, in a Toronto Star article\, wrote: ‘Cows hoisted upside down\, dangling from one leg\, appear to be still moving while workers tear off their skin with knives.’\n• STOP killing male calves. They are babies aged only between 1 and 24 weeks old.\n• STOP killing pregnant dairy cows. It’s obscene to learn that the majority of dairy cows going to the slaughterhouse are pregnant.\n• STOP using taxpayer dollars to subsidize these atrocities. In 2019 alone animal agriculture subsidies by the Canadian government totaled $1.9 billion.\n• SHUT down all slaughterhouses and engage in alternate safe and meaningful employment programs in the plant-based food industry for slaughterhouse workers\, making Toronto a Slaughter Free City.\n• ENACT a slaughter-free\, plant-based food policy at city-administered offices\, community centers and educational institutions.\n• ALLOCATE funding to provide plant-based foods for Toronto’s low-income communities.\n• IMPROVE the nutritional education and cooking programs for slaughter-free\, plant-based meals in city-run community centers and other educational institutions \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.
