Toronto Pig Save (TPS) is holding a series of protests at what we dub "The Un-Royal Agricultural Winter Fair" because of its treatment of enslaved mammals, aka "livestock."

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.
