🐯 New footage from Bervie Zoo shows animals suffering in likely illegal conditions. These tigers are housed in a cramped, barren enclosure that falls far short of the space & stimulation required for them to thrive. Urge authorities to take action 👉 https://t.co/feU5rDKKbz

The CFIA is about to mass-kill 32,000 birds after an avian flu outbreak. It’s not just the ostriches affected by mass-slaughter—since 2021, ~16 MILLION birds have died or been killed in response to the virus. https://t.co/xwLnQy4PKI

“Crowding ostriches into a pen, shooting them in an enclosed space while they’re running around in terror, forcing birds to witness their companions die... undoubtedly would have caused horrific terror & suffering.” — @CamilleLabchuk, ED of Animal Justice https://t.co/NzdJt2whnw

Animal Justice Canada is describing the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s (CFIA) culling of more than 300 ostriches in Edgewood as “shocking” and “inappropriate.”

Fur farming is incredibly cruel & likely ILLEGAL under Quebec’s own animal protection laws. It’s time for the Quebec government to finally ban this harmful industry 🦊 #QCpoli

Sobeys’ response to public pressure? Claiming customers want the choice to buy eggs from caged hens. This isn’t choice—it’s corporate backtracking wrapped in PR spin.

SHOCKING: @sobeys is now using Big Tobacco–style PR tactics to excuse selling eggs from caged hens. Canadians deserve better than deceptive marketing—& hens deserve freedom from cruel cages 🐔🚫 https://t.co/CxoUmCsI07

Exposed: Sobeys uses Big Tobacco–style PR tactics and “consumer choice” messaging to justify cage cruelty and walk back its cage-free pledge.

⚠️ Animal Justice believes the CFIA’s mass shooting of hundreds of ostriches in BC likely caused illegal suffering. We’ve filed a formal complaint & are calling for a review of the CFIA’s conduct.

🦊⚠️ Govt docs obtained by @SPCAMontreal show officials admit there’s NO way to farm animals for their fur while complying with Quebec’s animal protection laws. Animals suffer in tiny wire cages, often mutilating themselves from stress. Act now! ➡️ https://t.co/ugHoZHAnxX

8.6 BILLION aquatic animals were killed for food in Canada in 2023—each an individual who valued their life & endured a brutal death 🐟💔 Canada still has NO laws to protect aquatic animals from suffering when they are farmed, fished, or slaughtered. This is unacceptable.

Canada’s fishing industries cause unimaginable suffering for billions of sentient beings every year—with almost no laws to protect them.

Shooting running #ostriches at night, in view of their terrified flockmates, violates the CFIA’s own guidelines & may be criminal animal cruelty ⚠️ We're demanding an investigation into those involved in directing & carrying out the massacre. https://t.co/rQtW9arRfz

Animal Justice has filed a complaint with the CFIA after hundreds of ostriches were shot en masse at Universal Ostrich Farms.

BREAKING: Animal Justice has filed a legal complaint with the CFIA over cruel methods it used to execute hundreds of ostriches at Universal Ostrich Farms. Shooting animals in the dark in front of their flockmates goes against agency guidelines & likely caused illegal suffering.

Imagine the terror the ostriches felt as they were trapped & shot one by one, in front of their flockmates 💔 The CFIA’s massacre began at nightfall & continued for hours. The fear & suffering these animals endured is heartbreaking & indefensible.
