Your support today makes an even more powerful impact. For a limited time, every donation is DOUBLED up to $100,000, helping your gift go twice as far for animals who urgently need protection.
Ending Cruelty in Canada’s Labs
Animal Justice is uncovering the hidden suffering of dogs, cats, and other animals in Canadian laboratories, and fighting for laws that replace cruel tests with modern, science-based alternatives.
Just months ago, Animal Justice exposed secret experiments at St. Joseph’s Hospital in London, Ontario. Dogs were forced to endure induced heart attacks lasting up to three hours before being killed. Pigs suffered with dozens of wounds carved into their bodies. Thousands of rodents were used, killed, and discarded, unseen and unheard.
The Ontario government has now introduced a bill to outlaw cruel cat and dog tests, honouring a promise the premier made after the St. Joseph’s scandal. Animal Justice will keep fighting to protect all animals suffering in labs across the country, working tirelessly to ensure this Ontario law passes—and to push the rest of Canada to follow suit.
Exposing Hidden Animal Abuse
Much of the suffering animals endure happens out of sight. Animal Justice empowers whistleblowers to speak up and conducts undercover investigations to expose cruelty in farms and research labs.
Inside Canada’s hidden factory farms, animals face some of the most widespread and concealed suffering in the country. Cows, pigs, and chickens are confined in filthy, overcrowded warehouses, many trapped in cages or crates so small they can barely move.
Animal Justice investigations have repeatedly exposed heartbreaking suffering behind closed doors—from cruel standard practices to illegal abuse. Bringing this cruelty to light has led to convictions for animal abusers and pushed legislators to work to pass stronger animal protection laws.
To fight hidden cruelty and hold abusers accountable, Animal Justice launched a confidential whistleblower tip line for insiders—such as hospital staff, animal care attendants, researchers, or farm workers—to come forward to expose hidden animal suffering.

Banning Fur Farms
Even as much of the world moves away from fur, Canada still allows animals like minks and foxes to be bred and killed for fashion. On fur farms, animals spend their entire lives in cramped wire cages, deprived of their ability to engage in natural behaviours. These conditions cause severe physical and psychological harm: broken limbs from wire flooring, festering wounds, extreme stress, frantic pacing, and self-mutilation. Their deaths are just as brutal—often involving gassing or anal electrocution.
Animal Justice and The Fur-Bearers have filed a lawsuit against the Quebec government for continuing to unlawfully allow fur farming to continue, despite knowing that the practice likely violates Quebec animal welfare laws.
And we won’t stop in Quebec. Animals are still trapped in filthy, barren fur farms across the country, and we’ll continue fighting until this cruelty ends.
