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 goal of Liberation BC (liberationbc.org) is to end the suffering of animals and to be a voice speaking up for them. Make your voice count by joining one of Vancouver’s most active animal rights organizations. On September 25, people in Vancouver participated in the “Walk for Farm Animals,” which took place in 70 cities across Canada and the US. The “Walk” raises funds for Farm Sanctuary, a charity devoted to rescuing abused farmed animals and advocating for farmed animal protection. Vancouver walkers have raised thousands of dollars in donations each year.
