World Animal Day – Peaceful rally and walk at Parc Lafontaine

WHY: Every year, World Animal Day (WAD) is celebrated worldwide. For the first time, Montreal will be participating in this special event. We wish to inform the public on the subject of the abuse of all species of animals, and to put pressure on our governments to amend our outdated animal rights laws.

WHERE: Parc Lafontaine at the Chalet/Restaurant, Montréal, QC.

WHEN: Saturday, October 2, 2010 – 1:00pm to 4:00pm (Rain or shine)

ASSEMBLY: 1 p.m. At the Chalet/Restaurant

PARKING: On Calixa-Lavallée Ave. on the north side of Parc Lafontaine, off of Rachel St. East (free parking for 3 hours)

Invite your friends, neighbours, work colleagues and family members. To truly have an impact on our governments, we need to be numerous!

Bring your posters or banners, with drawings or slogans relating to all forms of animal abuse and the inadequate federal & provincial animal rights laws.

Dogs on leash are welcome. Bring water for your pets and please remember to bring bags for your dog’s needs.

Please wear a white ribbon to symbolize our wish to see the day when all animals can live in peace.

Please forward this message to all your contacts and post on your websites. In the name of all animals, those who are without neither voice nor choice, we thank you for joining us for this extremely important event!

Cat found in Verdun

cat found in Verdun

This cat showed up on our back balcony on September 7th when it was pouring rain. She is very, very skinny and we put her in one room of our house and have been feeding her. We have two cats of our own so we cannot keep her here very long! She is female, white with calico markings on her face, long haired, very affectionate. Thank you!
