Toronto Pig Save, TARVE, and other groups will be giving out free veggie dogs and fruit juices in a neighbourhood overshadowed by a pig slaughterhouse. It's time to take back the neighbourhood and show what is possible.
We will be promoting an alternative vision for the Niagara neighbourhood. Instead of a pig slaughterhouse, Toronto Pig Save is advocating for a just transition for workers on Labour Day - safe, fulfilling, and meaningful jobs needed to support a food economy that is local, organic, and whole grain and plant based (that is, vegan).
There will be pig puppets and costumes, story telling, face painting for kids, and music.

Toronto Pig Save releases undercover footage of 'kill floor' at Quality Meat Packers

Pigs hot and dehydrated at Toronto's Quality Meat Packers
On Tuesday, July 12, 2011 at about 2pm, a local resident -- Teresa -- witnessed pigs that were very hot, dehydrated and wounded, including several pigs with bloody snouts in one transport truck. She was shocked to see about 10 transport trucks waiting in line in the hot sun to be unloaded at Toronto's Quality Meat Packers, including three trucks waiting on Wellington Street West. Distressed by what she witnessed, she ran into the plant and asked to speak to the manager. She demanded that they address the crisis. She was asked to leave.
Teresa texted her friends and various NGOs and through social media Toronto Pig Save was informed at about 4 p.m. We immediately visited the site.
