Animal Justice Academy Lunchtime Live: The Bill To Help Phase Out Animal Experimentation With Kaitlyn Mitchell

Thursday, October 27, 2022 12:00 PM EDT via Zoom meeting ANIMAL JUSTICE ACADEMY LUNCHTIME LIVE:The Bill to Help Phase Out Animal Experimentation with Kaitlyn Mitchell There's a new Canadian bill that could phase out the most painful forms of animal testing and put Canada on-track to become a leader in creating animal-free testing methods. Animal Justice Staff Lawyer Kaitlyn Mitchell will be joining us for our AJA Lunchtime Live to talk about Bill S-5, the Strengthening Environmental Protection for a Healthier Canada Act that's already been passed in the Senate, and how we can help get it passed in the House of Commons! Each year in Canada, tens of thousands of animals suffer in toxicity tests for product safety and other reasons. These tests cause severe pain, extreme distress, and often death. In toxicity tests, individuals can be burned or wounded without pain relief, forced to eat deadly substances, or have harmful chemicals spread on their skin. Bill S-5 would lay out the roadmap for ending toxicity testing on animals and for Canada to become a leader in phasing out animal experimentation altogether. Animal Justice has been leading a coalition of organizations championing this bill, join us to find out more about the bill's interesting journey so far and to discuss the action plan for getting it through Parliament. *We invite folks to have their video on during this event to enhance the sense of community, but it’s not mandatory Please enter your name and email address below to register for this event!
