May Town Hall – Pet Dogs and Cats in Canadian Research

In our May Town Hall, Lia Laskaris, Chief Executive Officer and Bianca Del Bois, Director of Development and Communications updated us on the work of the Animal Alliance of Canada about dogs in shelters and how they can end up in testing facilities.

Pet Dogs and Cats in Canadian Research

Since 1990, thousands of lost, stray, and surrendered pets have been subjected to research experiments in Canada. Despite public opposition and decades of advocacy, Ontario law still allows pet dogs and cats to be used in Canadian testing facilities — some sold by shelters to labs for as little as $2—under Ontario’s deeply flawed Animals for Research Act.

Through their Project Jessie and No Pets in Research campaigns, Animal Alliance of Canada has made major progress, but the work isn’t over. This webinar will break down what’s happening, why it matters, and what needs to change. Most importantly, you’ll learn how to take action to help push for the legislative reform needed to end the use of pet dogs and cats in research.

Please consider speaking with your MP about animal free science. These innovative methods have already proven to be more effective for humans, less expensive - and of course would save the lives of so many animals.
