The holidays are fast approaching and in addition to this being a time of preparations for family reunions and celebrations, it is also the time of year that charities and nonprofit organizations fundraise heavily to help advance their causes. This is, after all, a time for sharing and giving. Your generosity is probably sought everywhere (good causes are not lacking …

It feels like just yesterday I was thrown into the deep end of the pool, facing the daunting challenge of developing a national campaign to end cosmetics animal testing in Canada. It was… intimidating. But I was amazed at how quickly things came together, including the support of tens of thousands of Canadians who also want an end to cruelty …

It’s that time of year again: the air is cold, winter seems like it will never come to an end, and we inevitably struggle to hold on to the resolutions we so joyously toasted to, while silently promising ourselves, “this year it’s going to stick”. The good news is, you’re not alone. This happens to the best of us, which …

So it is with much enthusiasm and some fanfare that I announce an opportunity not to be overlooked! Humane Society International/Canada assists the Quebec Government (MAPAQ) in running and …

Supporting and fighting for animal welfare can be upsetting. When you love animals, it is all the more disturbing when confronted by images or footage that depict cruelty, neglect, and suffering at the hands of humans.

Just three short years ago, the #BeCrueltyFree campaign was born – the global largest undertaking ever to end cosmetics animal testing. Even though we’ve accumulated many successes, milestones and victories under our collective belts, we’ve still got a long way to go before we see an end to the animal cruelty that’s still prevalent in the cosmetics industry today. But, …

The #BeCrueltyFree Canada campaign is barely two years old, and the response so far is incredible. We’ve been working hard to raise awareness for the cruel, outdated cosmetics testing practices that rabbits, mice, rats, and guinea pigs endure every day – chemicals being forced down their throats, dripped into their eyes or smeared onto their skin – all without any …

Last month Humane Society International’s Be Cruelty-Free bunnies traveled across Canada to spread awareness and promote an end to animal testing for cosmetics in Canada. With stops in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, our intrepid rabbits rode public transit, posed for photos, and urged consumers to make the leap to cruelty-free, by supporting the #BeCrueltyFree campaign.
