Event Description
Join the coalition to #EndFurFarming in demanding Conservative MPP Michael Harris's (Kitchener-Conestoga) take immediate action to ban fur farming in Ontario.
Michael Harris has 2 known fur farms within his riding. When a member of the coalition met with the MPP and showed him video evidence of animal neglect, Michaels response was "there is a market for fur" and "the conservative party is not big on bans".
MPP Michael Harris's inaction to protect animals and instead endorse the cruel fur farm industry has left community members feeling sick and frustrated.
Undomesticated animals like mink and fox suffer physical and psychological torture on these local factory farms. They are restricted from performing natural behaviours and engage in self mutilation during extended periods of inactivity. They live in small wire cages and live a life of anxiety, boredom, fear, sickness, and stress. Many people agree killing animals for a rediculous clothing decoration is sick. Fur farming has been banned in multiple countries already. Please join us in demanding justice for these poor animals!
If you are unable to attend this protest please support us by calling Michael Harris's office and demand a ban on fur farming! 519.954.8679
