All animals want to live lives free from fear and pain and filled with peace and love. Why would you deny them this?

Behind the scenes at “Ryding Regency” slaughterhouse in Toronto. This is the “holding pen” where they leave the cows to wait, anywhere from a few seconds, to a few hours, to over the period of an entire night (without food, and as far as we can tell, without water either), no matter how crowded and/or filthy the pen is, and no matter how cold/hot it may be outside, for their death. While you cannot see the “kill-floor” from this area due to the angles of the chutes that are used to squeeze the cows forward one-by-one, you can most definitely smell it and hear it, meaning that the cows can most definitely smell it and hear it; the gag-worthy, headache-inducing fumes emitted by the putrid mix of sitting blood and feces, and the at-times-extremely-loud mechanical clinking and grinding noises that would be scary-enough on their own, but in combination with the panicked bellowing of the soon-to-die and dying cows inside is utterly terrifying. These are their last moments, whether those moments last mere seconds or stretch over the entirety of a freezing Toronto winter night. If this isn’t torture, what is?

TCS Vigil December 2016
Vegan because they died screaming and fighting for their lives. Vegan because, just like your dog/cat, they wanted to live and be loved.

TCS October Vigil
Even though there are technically laws to “protect” pigs and cows (chicken, fish, and turkeys have no protection whatsoever), these laws are so paper thin and so rarely enforced that they almost might as well not exist. Animals that are too sick or injured to support their own weight/cannot stand up are not supposed to be forced onto transport trucks and used for slaughter, and yet, it happens every day. St. Helen’s Meatpackers (which promotes itself as “local”, “humane” meat) is particularly notorious for breaking this law. Indeed, they have sick and injured animals coming in so often that they actually have been cited (a consequence that is essentially like a warning and does nothing to help the animals) multiple times for this offence. This gentle baby cow (about 2 years old when they can naturally live to be over 20) was lying on his side, and despite being obviously exhausted and in extreme pain, he would occasionally try and get up by flailing his legs about. His friends did their best not to step on him, despite the floor of the truck being slick with feces and urine, and even spent time trying to comfort him, Cows are herd animals who grow particularly strong bonds with one another and are scientifically known to have best friends within their herds. The injured one’s best friend spent time softly licking his face, and it was only during this time that the “downed” cow would close his eyes for a moment.
Cows, and all farmed animals, are emotional creatures who have relationships with one another. This is not merely the musings of an animal rights organisation, it has been scientifically proven. Indeed lots of research (which can easily be found on google) has come out in the past few years regarding the emotional and cognitive intelligence of animals society generally deems, “dumb”. And the results? The species we eat (including fish and crustaceans) are just as intelligent, just as sentient, as the dogs and cats we have as family members. If imaging your dog/cat lying at the bottom of a filthy truck, only to later be dragged into a slaughterhouse with chains, bothers you, then this should bother you too. All animals want, and fight, to live..

Yesterday (June 10th 2017), Toronto held its fifth March to Close All Slaughterhouses, along with dozens of other cities across five continents! Once again we had an incredible turnout with about 800 people participating!
As with the years before, we marched down all the major streets at the city’s core. We also did the die-in, where the activists laid down on the ground to symbolically represent the trillions of animals we tragically lose to the animal agriculture industry every single year, and to show solidarity. As we lay silent on the ground, screams recorded from dying animals inside actual slaughterhouses is broadcasted over a loud-speaker. Most likely, anyone passing by has never even seen the front of a slaughterhouse, let alone heard the horrific sounds that resound from inside; this is intentional on the part of the industry because, as Paul McCartney famously said, “if slaughterhouses had glass walls we would all be vegetarian”. This is one of the reasons for why the die-ins are such incredibly powerful demonstrations; they bring attention to the voices of those who are violently silenced. A newer addition to the march was the inclusion of a Direct Action Now disruption inside a “Whole Foods”, where some of the activists walked in and around the store while holding up their signs depicting the disturbing and heart-shattering reality that was the life of the animal whose flesh a customer is contemplating purchasing. These actions are called “disruptions” because they do precisely that, they disrupt the “normal” act of shopping for animal products, and in so doing, disrupt the speciesist mindset that allows for this shopping in the first place. Finally, towards the end of the march, a memorial was held for all the beautiful angels who have fallen victim to this incredibly cruel and violent system we have developed,.during which flowers and other items were symbolically laid beside pictures of a few of these lovely beings, who represented the plight of their entire species. All in all, it was an incredibly moving and powerful event, and we are CERTAIN that we planted seeds of compassion in many minds, and that at least one person will make a change in their lifestyle in order to show love, the love that we know each and every one of you has, even if it is currently buried deep inside, to all persons, whether animal or human.
Listen to your heart. Go vegan.
