An Invite from the Canada-Wide citizens group for animal advocacy, Animal Justice
Posted April 15th, 2026 obn Niagara At Large! We’re excited to invite you to an important panel: From Animal Farmers to Animal Advocates.
People who make their living from animal agriculture are often its strongest defenders—which is why it matters so much when some of them change sides and begin speaking out for animals.
TODAY, Wednesday, April 15, join Animal Justice for a powerful online panel featuring former animal farmers, a slaughterhouse inspector, and a ranch worker who made the difficult decision to walk away from the industry and advocate for animals instead.
Each panelist brings firsthand experience from inside animal agriculture—what they witnessed, what they participated in, and what ultimately led them to question everything and choose a different path.
