Animal lawyer & executive director of @AnimalJustice. I tweet about animals, law, food, politics.
Zoom lawyering doesn’t have the same impact on the court, the case, or the lawyers. Let counsel for interveners back in the courtroom at the Supreme Court. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…
This image is so powerful. What have we done to animals? 💔 @weanimals
Attendance was DOWN at the Calgary Stampede this year. I wonder if it's because people don't want to see horses and cows be abused and die in rodeo events? Stampede should go animal-free. ctvnews.ca/calgary/articl…
The @calgarystampede rodeo is an utter embarassment. Another horse died in the chuckwagons and they just offered condolences to the family of the rider who KILLED the horse instead of expressing any sympathy for the animal. Borderline sociopathic conduct. ctvnews.ca/calgary/articl…
An in-depth story about a 'horrifying' horse mistreatment case in Ontario. Sadly, animal neglect os SO common but largely undetectable since authorities don't proactively inspect conditions. elliotlaketoday.com/local-news/ont… via @ElliotLakeToday
Offices & other buildings are almost always too cold for women! One of my biggest daily pet peeves!
Is office air conditioning sexist? Many office thermostats are informed by a decades-old formula based on the metabolism of a 40-year-old man. Where does that leave women? trib.al/a0h5qWp
Documents prove the Alberta government bowed to pressure from hunters in deciding to let them gun down more cougars. Disgusting. rmoutlook.com/md-of-bighorn/… via @rmoutlook
In Ontario, you don't even need a license to operate a zoo🤯 “If I wanted to open up a zoo in my backyard, fill it with dangerous, exotic animals who don’t do well in captivity… I would be perfectly able to do that." — @CamilleLabchuk, Animal Justice ED thelocal.to/ontario-roadsi…
Did you know that anyone can open up a roadside zoo in Ontario, WITHOUT a license? Get all the details here in this great piece by @KupermanLeah.
Ontario’s lax regulations have made the province the “wild west” for exotic animals. But as public concern over animal welfare grows, some zoos are buckling under the pressure. Read my latest for @TheLocal_TO "End Times at Ontario’s Roadside Zoos?" thelocal.to/ontario-roadsi…
TODAY! We’re in the Court of Appeal tomorrow right off the government’s attempt to reinstate the ban on undercover investigations.
Ontario’s dangerous ag gag law is BACK in court, after much of it was struck down as unconstitutional last year. Today, we'll be fighting in court to defend this monumental legal victory for animals & freedom of expression! ✊🐷 #StopAgGagLaws animaljustice.ca/blog/defending…
Glad to see The Animal Law Foundation tackle fake advertising - pervasive on meat packages. If you see grassy fields, the animals probably don't experience that.
We often see images of happy animals in advertisements and packaging on animal products, but that’s just not the truth… 85% of farmed animals in the UK are reared in industrial farms and yet of those investigated, 84.09% of the websites of producers of animal products and 100%…
