Part 1 - Huntington Life Sciences is Europe's largest contract animal-testing facility, and as such kills some five hundred animals every day in gruesome experiments of no scientific value at all, that serve only as a feeble alibi for dangerous experimenting on people, enormously burde http:// ning our health care system with useless expenditures while leading medicine astray. The campaign to shut down Huntington is being accomplished by Stop Huntington Animal Cruelty by means of legal, direct action against CEOs of HLS's customers, shareholders and bankers. But the right to free speech and the right to protest is being threatened by Canadian law enforcement's harassment of the campaigners in ways that reflects very badly on this country. See their website www.shaccanada.net
Part 2 - Back yards and living rooms are no places for wild or exotic animals , as there is clear evidence that exotic pets suffer in captivity. It's time to stop this suffering and end the abuse and exploitation of these animals. Vancouver City Council could be on the verge of banning exotic animals in the city. Peter Fricker of the Vancouver Humane Society reports on the February 1st meeting of City Council in which Council will consider a report from city staff that recommends prohibiting a list of exotic animals from being kept in the city and a second list banning certain animals from being sold. The report also recommends the city ban exotic animal performances.

Much of the wisdom that Ted shares in his counselling, workshops, and book didn't come from his formal training. Rather, it came from his own personal journey as the father of a child with disabilities - a child severely damaged by a vaccination .
Vaccines are the richest source of profit for the pharmaceutical industry, but are they safe and effective, as is claimed, or is their effectiveness in preventing illness merely an article of religious faith that doctors hold, not supported by facts, whereas their harmfulness is proven and acknowledged? But for those injured by vaccines, which are as much as forced on them, there is no compensation from either government or the pharmaceutical industry in Canada. Why?

Western Canada Wilderness Committee has urged the Vancouver Park Board to go on record and reassure the public that most of the trees that have fallen in Stanley Park due to the recent windstorm will remain in the park and not be hauled away to make lumber. The Wilderness Committee notes that decomposing trees provide essential nutrients to the soil to support a flourishing forest in the future. Also a discussion of the need for presently non-existent provincial Endangered Species legislation . The Federal Government, in this era of shaky federal-provincial relations, says that it will not impose endangered species legislation on provinces. According to its legal experts, federal legislation would infringe on provincial jurisdiction over land-related matters. Thus, the provinces must take the lead role in protecting endangered species in Canada.

Covance , an animal testing laboratory , plans to build a 591,000-square-foot facility in Chandler ( http://www.protectchandler.org/ ), housing nearly a quarter of a million animals, including monkeys. Covance is a contract lab—paid to test cosmetic ingredients, food additives, pesticides, and drugs on monkeys, dogs, rabbits, cats, rats, and mice. In 1989, a Covance facility, operating under the company's previous name, was placed under quarantine after several research monkeys were discovered to be infected with the deadly Ebola virus . The facility was evacuated, all the monkeys were euthanized, and the premises had to be sealed. The building was eventually destroyed and the land given away. Infectious disease, biohazards, animal waste, toxic chemicals, and animal carcasses are serious public health concerns. PCRM mailed the DVD “ What Covance Doesn't Want You to See ” to over 23,000 voters in Chandler. You can watch the video here, or order a copy.
