Let’s talk activism!

We all remember how nervous we were our first time participating in these experiences, but we gained confidence from the positive effects we are having on members of the public and by supporting each other when we’re out there on the streets together. Many people have shown an …

Unlike most animals who are slaughtered for their meat, these live export victims are sent to be used for their milk and to grow foreign dairy herds.  Even though they are exposed to the same risks and suffering as animals exported live for slaughter, animals who are …
