Edmonton Vegan Activists

This picture says it all....You cant unsee the truth. It is a devastating reality of fear torture pain and exploitation....that they help keep alive.

This was from Saturday We The Free 3MM challenge ... this is a Movie challenge that shows 3 minutes of the worst slaughter house footage and tell us who the bad guy is.

Of course its devastating to see what you have been paying for....the lies are revealed.

Join us next time if you are brave enough to live by your morals and values, not just talk the talk.
Walk it.

It was a wonderful day at Earth's Refillery Coop during our NARD event yesterday! I always get a little nervous before these events, wondering if people will show up. While there were a few familiar faces I missed seeing, there were also many new faces who joined us, and for that I am incredibly grateful.

We all have busy lives. We have jobs, families, commitments, vacations, and countless responsibilities competing for our time. I understand that completely.

But NARD is different.

This is the one day each year that we come together to honour the billions of animals whose lives have been marked by suffering and exploitation. It is a day to mourn them, to celebrate those who have been rescued, and to stand publicly for a future where they are no longer treated as commodities.

As activists, we only have a handful of opportunities each year to speak on behalf of those who cannot speak for themselves. NARD is one of the most meaningful of those opportunities.

My hope is that next year, even more of our community will make this day a priority. Imagine the message we could send if every person who cares about animals stood together on this one day of remembrance and hope.

So when NARD comes around next year, I hope you'll join us. The animals deserve to be remembered, and together our voices are stronger.

🕯️ Vigil for the Horses – December 16 at 4 PM
📍 12220 Stony Plain Rd, Unit 104, Edmonton, AB

Last Night yet another shipment of horses, the third in as many weeks, left the Edmonton International Airport destined to Japan for consumption. That is a minimum of 300, but more than likely 360 horses left, if they all made it alive.

What can you do to help you ask?

Join us for a peaceful vigil to honor the thousands of Canadian horses who have suffered and died because the 2021 Liberal promise to ban live horse exports for slaughter remains unfulfilled.
Since that promise, over 10,700 horses have been shipped on brutal flights to Japan—many arriving injured, dehydrated, or dying shortly after landing. Their suffering must not be forgotten.

What to Expect:
• Standing together in compassion
• Reflections + a moment of silence
• Flowers, letters, or symbolic items welcome
• A united call for Canada to finally ban live horse exports
This vigil is one of 11 across the country, as Canadians demand action and an end to this cruelty.

All are welcome.
4 PM on December 16 — let’s stand together for the horses.

Animal Justice Mobilization teams, Leads and activists!
Tell CBC to Call Off Their Canadian Dairy Contest!

CBC just launched their “Bake it with Canadian Dairy” contest, promoting recipes that rely on dairy — but behind every glass of milk is a story of suffering.

Mother cows endure repeated pregnancies, only to have their babies taken within hours so humans can take their milk. Male calves are often killed, and once the mothers’ production
drops, they too are sent to slaughter.

Let CBC know this cruelty isn’t worth celebrating. Visit the CBC website, scroll to the bottom, and click “Submit Feedback” — choose “content” from the menu and tell them to end this contest. There are examples in the event description of what you can say.

I’ve included the link and a scan code to make it easy.
Let’s make sure CBC hears us loud and clear — call it off! 💔🐄

Monday night, five of us gathered outside Lilydale from 10 PM to midnight to bear witness to the chickens who would lose their lives come morning. 🕯️

The trucks were covered we couldn’t see the birds inside but we could smell them as they passed us by.

One of our Vancouver Activist friends Ryan Paton joined us for his very first vigil. He broke down in tears as another truck went inside.

We come to bear witness not only to see the victims we are fighting for, but to speak a kind word into the night — to say, “I love you.”

They may never see us or know we are there, but we know why we are. Bearing witness solidifies our purpose: to fight for those who have no voice, and to work toward a world where their suffering ends. 💔🐔
