Toronto Pig Save's News Update
Dear friends,

Don’t turn away. Join us! Bear witness at our weekly vigils.
(Please scroll down for vigil schedule.)
 
Save continues to grow all over the world! We now have 656 Animal Save groups in 69 countries listed on our website. We also have 97 Climate Save groups in 38 countries and 24 Health Save groups in 16 countries.
What is a campaign? How can strategic corporate campaigns get us closer to animal liberation? How can you help the animal liberation movement from a computer? Join Anita Kranjc and Johanna Elizabeth for PART 1 of this WORKSHOP SERIES. In Part 1, we will give an introduction to strategic corporate campaigns, learn from some historical examples, and dive deep into researching some campaign targets. Registration is required for this event. REGISTER HERE. More details at the event page.
 
Toronto Cow Save report from their vigil with special guest James Aspey: "Thank you to James and everyone for joining our Tuesday morning vigil this week! James is known worldwide for his effective activism for animals, educational talks, and most recently for running for parliament in his home country of Australia. He has a huge social media following and has helped so many to become vegan."

Vancouver Chicken Save have restarted truck stopping, which they stopped when Hallmark "Poultry" leased the alley where trucks used to come in and barred the public from it. They report: "The two truck drivers we interacted with were so cooperative! We were able to get some very impactful footage and bear witness
peacefully and safely. We all held tulips at today’s vigil to pay our respects to Bao Min Cheng, a Hallmark worker who died at the age of 52 of a heart attack after a 13-hour shift" Truck stopping during vigils will now be carried out on Saturday and Wednesday mornings.

2019 Women's March From Fearman's Slaughterhouse
May 12, 9 am – 2 pm. RSVP: event page
We will start the day with a vigil for the pigs. After bearing witness and leaving flowers and messages for the babies trapped inside the slaughterhouse, we will start marching to a park in downtown Burlington. We are marching to show our solidarity to the nonhuman females that have been oppressed by a patriarchy.
We aim to increase awareness and action so that all feminists include animals in their circle of compassion. Female animals are forcibly impregnated over and over and again until they are 'spent' and then sent to slaughter. These mother's have their babies stolen from them in order to satisfy human greed.

VIGIL SCHEDULE
Weekly vigils and outreach with Toronto-area Saves
Toronto Pig Save has a firm commitment to hold at least three vigils or other vegan outreach events per week. We currently hold a Pig Save vigil in Burlington together with Cow Save, Fish Save and Chicken Save vigils in Toronto, as well as Fur Animal Save events in the colder months. We encourage everyone to attend a vigil.
The more people who attend, the harder it is for society to ignore our protests of the abhorrent exploitation and cruelty to animals. Attending vigils is a daunting, traumatic, but empowering experience that helps build community and a support network of like-minded activists. Please join us. Scroll down for vigil schedule.
• Tuesday, April 2, 9:30 am - 11:30 am:  Toronto Cow Save vigil for the Cows and Lambs at St. Helen’s 'Meat' Packers slaughter plant at 1 Glen Scarlett Road with special guest James Aspey.

Leo Tolstoy defines the duty to bear witness as: "When the suffering of another creature causes you to feel pain, do not submit to the initial desire to flee from the suffering one, but on the contrary, come closer, as close as you can to him who suffers, and try to help him."
(from A Calendar of Wisdom)

Toronto Pig Save started in December 2010, with a promise to the pigs of doing a minimum of three vigils and vegan outreach events each week, all year round. We bear witness as a community of pigs, cows, chickens and other farmed animal victims in slaughterhouse trucks. The animals want us to be present and, with the most pleading eyes, ask for our help when we see them through the portholes of transport trucks. Just as if we were in those horrid trucks, we would want the whole community to be there fighting for our freedom, liberation, rights, and equality. In a way, we are there. All life is one and, “when (wo)men wish to harm others, they really do evil to themselves,” Leo Tolstoy said in his animal rights story “Esarhaddon, King of Assyria”. It’s our positive duty and obligation to act in the present to try to stop the most egregious injustices before us.
 
"When the suffering of another creature causes you to feel pain, do not submit to the initial desire to flee from the suffering one, but on the contrary, come closer, as close as you can to her who suffers, and try to help her.” – Leo Tolstoy 
 
In seven years, The Save Movement has grown to over 650 Save groups in 69 countries around the world. Our dream is to have regular vigils at every slaughter plant worldwide. We regularly give seed money to new Save groups and require funds for literature, posters, subway ad campaigns (iVegan.ca) and vegan outreach events.
 
Make animal liberation your priority in life! Think of 10 kind things you can do each day and encourage your friends to do the same! Join us and participate in our weekly vigils, start a Save group in your community, and be a regular donor.
