Call to Future Candidates!

Hi Everyone!

I know people are thinking of a lot of things at this time of year, but we're preparing for the next election, whenever that may be. Just the other day, Liz and Karen met with a monthly donor who is interested in being a candidate. And Liz has talked to a number of other activists asking them to consider playing such a role, speaking out in a different forum for animals like little kitty Jane.

There are a number of time consuming requirements to meet in order to be a candidate, but it is worth it to then be able to canvass and to be invited to debates where animal issues can be discussed.

If anyone would like more information, please contact us today.

All the best to you and yours, including any non-human animals in your life.

Lia and the AAEVPC crew

Great News for the Seals!

The European General Court has dismissed the application by the sealing lobby to suspend the prohibition of seal product trading pending the outcome of a court case.

This, hopefully, spells the beginning of the end of the commercial seal hunt in Canada, with the Federal government finally taking responsibility for a dying industry. Citizens on the East Coast deserve a better solution than putting their lives at risk to make a pittance by killing animals.
