Every year, Canada ships thousands of horses to Japan for slaughter. This rude & hostile sign at one the horses' stops in Manitoba is a reflection of the kind of people involved in this cruel business! 😀

Urge Ag Minister MacAulay to BAN this practice now! ➑️ animaljustice.ca/live-export

Israel accused of β€˜war-crime starvation strategy’ as it cuts off Gaza aid Israel halts the entry of all supplies into Gaza with artillery fire and air strikes reported in the war-torn territory

Using the basic rights of people, especially those most vulnerable, as a bargaining chip is not only morally bankrupt but a violation of fundamental ethics. @msf.ca strongly denounces this instrumentalization of aid. It is utterly reprehensible, outrageous & abhorrent. #Gaza #BSKY #MedSky

This 6mo old pig is taking their last journey, terrified & cold, lying helpless on the filthy floor of a truck headed for slaughter. Even during subzero winters, pigs are transported for up to 28 hours without food, water, rest, or protection from the elements 😒 #TransportLaws
