Canada has NO national laws regulating how animals are treated on farms. The government allows Big Ag to largely write its own voluntary standards, & the result is hundreds of millions of animals suffering every year in horrifying conditions.

Today, compassionate Ontarians are joining Animal Justice outside the Transpharmation research lab in Guelph to demand a concrete plan to rehome all surviving dogs in its lab! 🐶 Ontario’s historic law banning most invasive medical research on dogs & cats takes effect on January 1, & the surviving dogs & cats in labs across the province deserve to get out alive. guelphtoday.com/local-news/a…

Fur farms are a nightmare for animals—yet they're still legal in Canada. Minks, foxes, & other animals spend their lives locked in filthy, tiny wire cages, with no ability to move freely or engage in their natural behaviours. It's time to end this cruelty!

882 MILLION land animals were killed in 2025—up 19 million from 2024. 95% of these animals were chickens 🐔💔 Despite the shocking scale & growing number of deaths, farmed animals in Canada still lack meaningful legal protections. bit.ly/4spq89p

Our fears are coming true 💔 Male & female belugas transferred from Marineland to Chicago's Shedd Aquarium are now being housed together, which means they can breed. We're calling on all aquariums with Marineland's whales & dolphins to uphold Canadian laws & adopt a strict NO-breeding policy 👉 bit.ly/3WqFsXj

It’s time to BAN the live export of horses to Japan for slaughter! 🐴💔 Animal Justice’s new ads at the Ottawa airport are calling on the Canadian government to finally END live horse exports. Since the Liberals promised to end the industry 5 years ago, over 12,500 horses have been shipped to their deaths. #CdnPoli animaljustice.ca/blog/ottawa…

Don’t kill the dogs! ⚠️🐶 Animal advocates gathered outside the Nucro-Technics lab in Toronto today, demanding the lab rehome dogs used in experiments instead of killing them. Ontario passed a historic law banning most invasive medical experiments on dogs & cats. Once the law takes effect on January 1, labs will no longer be able to conduct these experiments, & we’re demanding that they give surviving animals a second chance at life. Nucro-Technics has launched a legal challenge to overturn the new law. Tell Nucro-Technics to commit to a formal rehoming plan for any dogs & cats currently in its lab ➡️ bit.ly/4ia7JZx

HORRIFYING: Canada slaughtered a record 882 million land animals for food in 2025—up 19 million from 2024 🐔💔 This rise is driven by growing chicken consumption. Chickens, who are much smaller than cows or pigs, are killed in far greater numbers to produce meat. Learn more 👉 bit.ly/4jqGPPs

BREAKING: Animal Justice is at the Supreme Court of Canada today fighting for government accountability when animals & their habitats are harmed! #OntarioPlace in Toronto is home to diverse wildlife, including migratory birds, minks, & beavers. But the Ontario government’s massive redevelopment project has already destroyed hundreds of trees, threatening crucial wildlife habitat ⚠️ The province passed a law shielding itself from lawsuits related to the redevelopment. Now, Animal Justice is intervening in a landmark Supreme Court case challenging that law.
