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.

Animal Rights Community Dialogue Series presents: How can we best work together to achieve animal rights?
Come and join other like-minded activists to explore new and interesting ways of working together. This event will be a friendly conversation in a comfortable cafe-style setting.
Three topics will be chosen at the end of the meeting which will become the topics of the next three events in the series, which will likely be held in June, September, and November. The idea is to start to build systems of cooperation and collaboration that respect the work that we are all doing and our different goals, but enable us to work more effectively together.
Collaboration and cooperation can mean more than forming coalitions or merging organizations. There are lots of ways that we can all work together – and some no one may have thought of yet!
Radha will be providing their beautiful space for this event, so join us, grab a cup of chai, and let's get the conversation going.
If you are interested in attending, please register at http://apowerfulvoice.eventbrite.com. There is a $5 registration fee, and attendance is limited to 50 people, so please register soon.

The documentary Meat the Truth is the first major project undertaken by the Nicolaas G. Pierson Foundation. Meat the Truth is a high-profile documentary, presented by Marianne Thieme (leader of the Party for the Animals), which forms an addendum to earlier films that have been made about climate change. Although such films have convincingly succeeded in drawing public attention to the issue of global warming, they have repeatedly ignored one of the most important causes of climate change, namely: intensive livestock production. Meat the Truth has drawn attention to this by demonstrating that livestock farming generates more greenhouse gas emissions worldwide than all cars, lorries, trains, boats and planes added together.

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!
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 men's sizes. Check 'em out!
