Canada’s Role in Supplying Lab Animals for Testing

Canada’s role in supplying specially-bred animals for laboratory testing both in Canada and abroad remains a tightly-knit secret. Recently, an article in The Gazette appeared and exposed how passengers on a flight to Paris became aware of a shipment of beagles on their Air Canada jet when they heard the dogs screaming from the belly of the plane. Canada does laboratory testing on up to 2 million animals each year. It also supplies an unspecified amount of animals to Europe for this same purpose.

“We were shocked to hear some flight attendants say this goes on regularly – dogs get shipped to Paris for experiments.” Because Quebec’s animal protection law is vague and weakly enforced, the province provides a steady source of dogs for laboratories both here and abroad, animal rights activists said.

Liz White, a Director at the Animal Alliance of Canada, joined Joe Broadhurst of CKUT Radio in Montreal to discuss some of the issues surrounding this practice and the efforts of animal activist groups to learn the truth. (11:30)

March for Kyoto to mark Earth Day

International Earth Day will be celebrated Sunday in Montreal by a march condemning what environmental groups see as the federal government’s inaction over the Kyoto Protocol.

The march is to start at 1:30 p.m. at Lafontaine Park and make its way to Mount Royal Park.

The Coalition Quebec Vert Kyoto, a collection of environmental advocates, and other groups announced the rally yesterday. The group says its goal is to make the Conservative government honour Canada’s obligations under the treaty, designed to combat climate change.

“We want people to go into the streets to send a message to the government of Canada: You must act now,” said Jocelyn Higginson of Greenpeace Quebec.

In February, Environment Minister John Baird said adhering to Kyoto would result in “economic collapse.” [link]
