Tomorrow! We’re Hosting An Important Panel: A Bold Plan For Farmed Animal Protection In Canada. You’re Invited To Join Us.

Most Canadians Would Be Shocked To Find Out That There Are Effectively No Laws To Prevent The Suffering Of The Hundreds Of Millions Of Animals On Farms In This Country.

That’s Because The Government Has Allowed The Industry-Dominated National Farm Animal Care Council (NFACC) To Call The Shots. Instead Of Real Laws, NFACC Sets Weak, Voluntary Guidelines With No Meaningful Oversight Or Transparency And Little Enforcement Even When Extreme Abuse Occurs.

The Result Is A System That’s Fallen Shockingly Behind Global Welfare Norms, Normalizing Extreme Confinement, Mutilations Without Pain Relief, And Brutal On-Farm Killing.

But Now A Coalition Of Four Leading Animal Protection Organizations—Animal Justice, Humane World For Animals, Mercy For Animals, And The Montreal SPCA—Has Developed A National Plan That Could Transform Canada For Farmed Animals.

On Thursday, May 14, Join Animal Justice For A Powerful Panel Where We’ll Break Down The New Joint Report Towards A National Framework For Farmed Animal Protection—And The Roadmap It Lays Out For Enforceable Standards, Independent Oversight, And Real Accountability.

Date: Thursday, May 14, 2026
