User:JesseClifton/Toronto Pig Save

Toronto Pig Save was founded in 2010 after its founder, Anita Krajnc, saw transport trucks carrying pigs to slaughter at Quality Meat Packers (QMP). They held vigils at QMP until it went bankrupt in 2014, at which point they began holding weekly Pig Save vigils at Fearman's "Pork" Inc. slaughterhouse in Burlington. Toronto Pig Save also holds weekly Cow Save and Chicken save vigils.

Toronto Pig Save takes the approach of "bearing witness" to animals about to be killed. According to their website, their approach to organizing is informed by Leo Tolstoy's and Mahatma Gandhi's teachings on nonviolence.
