🔬🐰 What will it take to reimagine animal research in Canada? At #ALAC2025, Dr. Andrew Fenton, Dr. Charu Chandrasekera, Lori Cohen, & Alanna Devine examine ethics, alternatives, frontline rescue, & how exposing cruelty is vital.
🦊 Ontario is failing to protect animals & the environment—from penned dog hunting & weak habitat laws, to ag gag laws & roadside zoos.
At #ALAC2025, Alexandra Pester, Kip Phillips, Krystal-Anne Roussel & Rachelle Hansen share how law, advocacy, & rescue drive change.
📰 Traditional media is a powerful tool for animal advocacy! 🐾
In this #ALAC2025 workshop, journalist @jesslreid.bsky.social & Animal Justice’s PR manager Josh Lynn share strategies to boost coverage of animal issues—from impactful op-eds to getting local newsrooms to take notice.
This was such an inspiring session. I jotted down so many notes, like this @drkendracoulter.bsky.social quote:
"Whether it's 30 seconds or 300 pages, never underestimate the power of story."

Great first session at @animal-justice.bsky.social 's Animal Law and Advocacy Conference. It was fantastic to get an overview of what's happened this year in animal law and policy in Canada. Many stories and issues I'd heard about, but also many I hadn't. Progress is slow, but happening!
