In May and June, Mercy For Animals Canada
in collaboration with a few local groups across the country, will be running a
Canada-wide, “Why love one but eat the other?” transit
ad campaign like the one that took Toronto by storm last year!
The series of three ads will run
on the transit systems in Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Ottawa, Montreal, and Halifax.
Our local partners for this campaign are the Vancouver Humane Society, Liberation BC, and Earthsave Canada in Vancouver, the National Capital Vegetarian Association in Ottawa, and the Montreal Vegetarian Association.
You can support this campaign by
inviting others from across Canada to spread the word: ask them to take photos of you with the ads and to share the photos and details of the campaign via social media. You can also make a donation to help us run more ads.ia social media, and donating to the
campaign.
This provocative ad campaign is
designed to get people thinking about their food choices in relation to animal
suffering. The ad series draws attention to the similarities between the
animals we call “family” and the animals we call “food”
and lays bare the shocking reality faced by animals raised for food on Canada’s factory farms.
The “Why
love one but eat the other?” ads created a huge buzz in Toronto in 2009
and 2011 when millions of people saw these ads firsthand and the video The
