The Brock Animal Rights Club from Brock University in St. Catharines, Ontario is hosting its 2nd annual Radio-Action for Animals concert on April 11th 5:30 pm at L3 Nightclub on 6 James Street in St. Catharines.
Pierre is one of many "discarded" primates in this province that needs our help to live some semblance of a quality life outside his natural environment.
This year, the proceeds from the concert will be donated to Storybook Farm Primate Sanctuary which is located in Sunderland, Ontario.
Storybook Farm Primate Sanctuary is the only primate sanctuary in Canada that provides safe and permanent homes for primates discarded from years of exploitation in the entertainment industry, biomedical research, substandard road-side zoos, or from the exotic pet trade.
In addition to raising awareness about and funds for organizations dedicated to helping non-human animals, the concert offers an opportunity to raise awareness about the plight of non-human animals in today’s society and to encourage people to make more compassionate choices.
Last year the benefit concert attracted over 200 guests and raised approximately $2000 for Niagara Action for Animals- a local non-profit charity.
Mr. Jenkins, another discarded primate, also needs our help.
BARC hopes that the concert will be an even greater success this year. This year, the all-ages benefit concert will feature free vegan food catered by Brooklyn’s restaurant located in Thorold, Ontario, raffles, and live music from several local bands. The bands scheduled to play at the event include The Overfiend, The After Chapter, Wayfarer,Chainsaw Lobotomy, In Limbo, and Beatnik and Barefoot.
Tickets for this event are $10 and can be purchased at the door or in advance by contacting BARC at brockanimalrights@gmail.com. BARC encourages everyone to purchase a ticket even if they are unable to attend the event because all proceeds will be donated to Storybook Farm Primate Sanctuary. Alternatively, anyone interested can donate directly to Storybook Farm Primate Sanctuary by visiting their website www.storybookfarmprimatesanctuary.com
