While it is too early to tell whether this year's Calgary Stampede will result in any animal deaths, activists are already protesting outside Stampede grounds, urging the public to boycott the corporations that sponsor the 10-day event, which begins today.

They have cause. Since 1986, 59 animals at the Calgary Stampede have died or been euthanized. Of that number, 51 have been horses.

London animal advocates gear up for Beyond the Myth. A powerful and emotionally charged film that aims to educate the public as well as underscore the ineffectiveness and harmful impact of breed specific laws. Libby Sherrill, the filmmaker and former producer for Home and Garden Television (HGTV), first decided to tackle the film as a grad student at the University of Tennessee. Three years later, her theme has been honed to reveal the perils of breed-specific legislation as carried out in three cities that ban pit bull-type dogs: Denver, Miami, and Cincinnati along with San Francisco, which requires the animals to be spayed and neutered.

Specifically, TPS will protest the five animal slave auctions and barbaric rodeo taking place at this year's Un-Royal Winter Fair.

Artworks by Caitlin Black and our special handout for the Un-Royal Fair appear on our homepage at www.torontopigsave.org


This week we will be protesting at the following times and locations:

* Friday, Nov 4th: Protest 2-5 pm at Lakeshore & Strachan then enter the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair and bear witness to the pig auction from 5pm - 6pm, followed by a cow auction at 6:30 pm. We will also be in front of the Princess Gates.
