Learn more about meat consumption and the environment!

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 groups.

Buy a T-Shirt, Help Liberation BC!

Canadian environmental shop EcoGear has just announced an exciting promotion.  For every person in British Columbia who purchases one of their $15 "Not Where I Belong" t-shirts, $5 goes to Liberation BC so that we can be more effective at helping animals! 

This original design is being offered at a special low price so that more people can buy one and make a strong statement against the use of animals trapped in research labs, zoos, and circuses.  The shirts are environmentally-friendly (learn more here about EcoGear's standards) and there are women's and for men's sizes.  Check 'em out!

Success!  Barbara Jo's Cancels Foie Gras Event!

Thanks to everyone who participated in the virtual protest against Barbara Joe's Books to Cooks and their foie gras promotion event that was scheduled to happen on June 22.  The store received HUNDREDS of emails and phone calls from all over the world and the event is now cancelled!

12 hours after our protest message was sent out on Facebook, the bookstore removed the event from their website.  And today, the store owners confirmed that the event has been cancelled.

Thanks to all of you, this bookstore will think twice now before promoting an event like this again.

Great job everyone!  You've made a difference for animals!

Time to Respect Pigeons

What do pigeons have in common with snow leopards? New Yorkers geared up for National Pigeon Day on June 13th, and we're reminded that there's a lot we don't know about these very ubiquitous birds...so we wrote a blog post about it!

For example, did you know...

• wild pigeons come from the Himalayas, where they live near snow leopards and yaks!
• pigeons are pretty smart and have been trained to tell the difference between the art of Monet and Picasso, among other artists.
• pigeons are just as clean as any other animal, and you are far more likely to get sick from a pet bird than a wild pigeon.
