BREAKING: Shocking drone footage from 7 Alberta beef feedlots & 2 slaughterhouses shows animal suffering on a monstrous scale. There is nothing kind, natural, or pride-worthy about #AlbertaBeef.

Cows don't naturally produce milk all the time—they do because they are mothers. But instead of feeding their babies, they are torn apart so milk can be sold to humans 💔🐮

Canada has NO national laws regulating how animals are treated on farms. The government allows Big Ag to largely write its own voluntary standards, & the result is hundreds of millions of animals suffering every year in horrifying conditions. Discover our new transparency tool ⤵️ #CdnPoli

When we expose cruelty behind closed doors & Canadians speak up, we can create incredible change for animals! 🐶🎉

At a Calgary reptile expo, we found animals denied proper care & subjected to frequent handling 🐍💔 Sadly, as these wild animals are treated as products rather than individuals, poor conditions are common across reptile expos.

Most turtles in the exotic pet trade are either poached from the wild or bred in cruel conditions. Many go on to suffer in inadequate environments that fail to meet their complex needs 💔 On #WorldTurtleDay, remember: wild animals belong in the wild 🐢💚

Animals are complex thinking, feeling beings just like us. Science has already recognized animal sentience—it’s time our laws did too.

So great to see the bears previously trapped at #Marineland have been sent to a sanctuary! We need to do the same for the whales & dolphins still languishing in its tanks.

BREAKING: Bouvry Exports Alberta—once Canada's largest horse slaughterhouse—has closed for good! After months of rumours, the Canadian Horse Defence Coalition has confirmed that the notorious facility has stopped accepting horses for slaughter.

Alberta says wild horse populations must be controlled to protect grazing land for animals raised for slaughter. Animal agriculture is already driving habitat loss & species decline. Removing wild horses to make room for farmed animals only deepens the problem. #AbPoli

Disturbing images from the #WesternCanadianReptileExpo in Calgary show wild animals crammed into tiny containers, constantly handled, & exposed to loud, chaotic conditions. The distress they endured is likely illegal. We filed a legal complaint with the Calgary SPCA, urging an investigation.

Canada lets an industry built on animal suffering set the rules for animal welfare on farms. It's time to overhaul this broken system & give farmed animals the legal protection they deserve. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4e9IXZ7

Why do our laws punish people who hurt dogs, but allow companies to hurt pigs? 🐷🐶

Every year in Canada, millions of animals endure immense suffering in painful experiments, & our laws fail to protect them from cruelty 💔 Animals in labs desperately need protection, & as modern, animal-free methods advance, we must move in this direction 🐁 #WorldDayForAnimalsInLabs

"This crisis is the product of decades of neglect & cruelty. Marineland’s continued attempts to extort taxpayers rather than take responsibility are reprehensible.” — Kaitlyn Mitchell, director of legal advocacy at Animal Justice

Animal agriculture is driving the climate crisis—through high emissions, deforestation, water use, & pollution. It’s also a leading driver of species extinction. Help protect animals & our planet by choosing plant-based 🌍 #EarthDay #EarthDay2026

BREAKING: Marineland wants a $10–20 million taxpayer-funded loan to relocate surviving whales from its now-shuttered aquarium. We're urging the federal government to reject this bailout request & instead loan the money to the Whale Sanctuary Project, to give many belugas a peaceful home. #CdnPoli
