Welcome to Liberation BC

Every day, millions of animals are caged, beaten, electrocuted, transported thousands of miles without water, force-fed, mutilated without pain killers, slaughtered, skinned, trapped, and scalded. The horrors are endless and humanity seems to be infinitely imaginative in devising new methods of exploitation. Our goal is to end the suffering of animals, to be a voice speaking up for them when there are so many speaking out against them.

Make your voice count by joining one of Vancouver's most active animal rights organizations.

Goat for Gold--Not a Good Idea

In the last few years–and especially recently–we’ve been hearing a lot about charities that will donate a live farm animal to impoverished people.   Some of these include Heifer International, Oxfam, and more recently, the local Goat for Gold.

From the Vancouver Humane Society:
 

All farm animals require proper nourishment, large quantities of water, shelter from weather, and veterinary care. It is questionable whether it is worthwhile to devote such resources (in critically short supply in many developing countries) to such an indirect way of feeding people.

Get much more info as well as a list of groups which feed the hungry without hurting animals at our blog post, Goat for Gold, not a good idea.

 

 

Free Film Screening - Fowl Play (a documentary)

Where: Vancouver Public Library, downtwon branch (Alma Vandussen room, lower level)
When: Saturday March 6, 2010, doors at 2pm, film starts at 2:30pm

Fowl Play illuminates the plight of factory-farmed laying hens through interviews with people who are fighting diligently to save them. A story of hope emerges as footage recorded inside battery cage and other facilities is balanced with personal accounts of the individuals working to protect the often-forgotten victims of the egg industry. The suffering that animals face on factory farms won't end until enough people are motivated to change it. Fowl Play connects the dots between consumers and the practices they support, and leaves viewers with a groundbreaking message of personal change and community outreach.

Students: Speak Out Against Dissection

Frogs are Cool is a new online support group and resource to help you cut out animal dissection. The site is loaded with online animal-free alternatives, you can post a comment or two on the "your say" page, or send your friends a link to the gross out undercover investigation of biological supply companies. And if you are feeling extra ambitious, Frogs are Cool will help you pass a Student Choice Policy in your school district to protect your right to refuse animal dissection.

 
This fall, speak out for animals and exercise your right to refuse animal dissection!
