The public outrage that followed helped force the hospital to shut down the lab\, and the surviving dogs were rehomed. The exposé also helped lead to Ontario becoming the first province in Canada to pass legislation prohibiting most invasive research on dogs and cats. \n\n\n\nMore recently\, an investigation by Last Chance for Animals exposed the cruel treatment of beagles at Nucro-Technics\, Canada’s largest contract animal research facility\, which sourced many of its dogs from the controversial and now-shuttered Ridglan Farms. \n\n\n\nThese cases have created a rare and urgent opening for change. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur panelists:\n\n\n\n\nDr. Charu Chandrasekera: Scientist & Founder of Canada’s first animal-free science centre\n\n\n\nKaitlyn Mitchell: Animal Justice’s Director of Legal Advocacy\n\n\n\nAlex Mooney: Whistleblower at St. Joseph’s dog lab\n\n\n\nDr. Stacy Lopresti-Goodman: Director of the Animal Law Education and Scholarship Program at the Animal Legal Defense Fund\n\n\n\nNives Ilic & Mack: Animal Justice’s Mobilization Manager & former lab dog\n\n\n\n\nHosted by: Animal Justice’s Kimberly Carroll \n\n\n\nWe’ll cover:\n\n\n\n\nHow to help ensure dogs and cats are rehomed before Ontario’s Bill 75 comes into force in January\n\n\n\nHow to push for similar protections for companion animals across the rest of Canada\n\n\n\nUsing this momentum to move toward replacing all animals in research\n\n\n\nThe case for animal-free science and how supporters can help advance it\n\n\n\n\nThis is a moment to fight for dogs and cats—and to build toward a future where no animal is made to suffer and die in the name of research. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Register URL:https://animaljustice.ca/event/online-panel-dogs-leading-the-way-out-of-animal-experimentation LOCATION:ON ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://animaljustice.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Blog-banner.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20261002T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20261004T235959 DTSTAMP:20260814T185808Z CREATED:20260807T151445Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260814T185808Z UID:35653-1790899200-1791158399@animaljustice.ca SUMMARY:2026 Animal Law & Advocacy Conference DESCRIPTION:📍 Toronto Metropolitan University \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Buy Tickets\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Animal Justice in Toronto this fall at Canada’s leading event for animal law and advocacy! \n\n\n\nThis is your chance to be a part of three days of learning\, connection\, and inspiration.

\n\n\n\nOne year ago\, Animal Justice exposed the secret animal testing taking place at St. Joseph’s Hospital in London\, Ontario. Thanks to the courage of two whistleblowers\, the determination of advocates and community members\, and the support of government leaders\, that exposé led to a historic victory: Ontario banned invasive medical research on dogs and cats. St. Joseph’s ended its dog experiments\, and the surviving dogs were released to a rescue organization. \n\n\n\nBut the fight isn’t over. While dogs and cats are now protected\, pigs\, rats\, and mice continue to be used for research at St. Joseph’s. As we honour the dogs whose lives were lost and celebrate those who finally found freedom\, we renew our commitment to the animals still waiting for theirs. \n\n\n\nJoin us as we celebrate this incredible milestone\, remember those who paid the price\, and urge St. Joseph’s to end animal testing once and for all and release the pigs\, rats\, and mice still in their lab. \n\n\n\nWhat to Expect: \n\n\n\n\nA special message from the whistleblower(s)\n\n\n\nSpeeches from animal protection organizations\, community members and guardian(s) of former research dogs\n\n\n\nA flower memorial honouring the animals who were lost\n\n\n\nCommunity chalk messages\n\n\n\nA letter-writing station where you can advocate for stronger protections for animals\n\n\n\nLight music and opportunities to connect with your community\n\n\n\n\nCalls to Action: \n\n\n\n\nAsking St. Joseph’s Health Care London to publicly commit to ending all animal testing at the hospital and to transition to modern\, animal-free alternatives.\n\n\n\nCalling on the Government of Ontario to strengthen the legislation by closing the remaining loopholes that continue to allow harmful animal experimentation in the province.\n\n\n\n\nWhile not required\, you’re welcome to bring: \n\n\n\n\nFlowers to add to the memorial\n\n\n\nA poem\, art or words to share with your community\n\n\n\nA handwritten note or message of hope\n\n\n\nSigns or banners supporting an end to animal testing\n\n\n\nWeather-appropriate clothing\, sunscreen\, and water\n\n\n\n\nTogether\, we’ll celebrate this historic victory\, honour the victims and survivors\, and continue the fight for every animal still waiting for freedom in a laboratory. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Join Facebook Event URL:https://animaljustice.ca/event/1-year-experiments-st-josephs-hospital LOCATION:St. Joseph’s Health Care London (St. Joseph’s Hospital)\, 268 Grosvenor St\, London\, Ontario ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://animaljustice.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/St-Josephs-hospital-animal-testing.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
