🎥🍿 Film Premiere: Big Ag’s Hidden Influence on Canada’s Food System

Join Animal Justice for the premiere of two original short films that investigate how farm industry lobbyists and front groups manipulate public opinion and control animal welfare standards on farms.

This event is at The Attic, but please RSVP to save your space as we have limited capacity. The Vegan Street menu will be available to order from at this event. Seating is first come first served and orders can be placed at the bar upon arrival.

Film 1: How Big Ag is Keeping Canada 30 Years Behind Runtime: 20 minutes

Who sets animal welfare standards on farms? Discover how the National Farm Animal Care Council (NFACC)—an industry-dominated body—controls how farmed animals are treated, and why its secretive role deserves closer scrutiny.

Film 2: When the Truth Becomes a PR Problem: The Rise of Agricultural Front Groups Runtime: 33 minutes

Explore how agricultural front groups copied tactics from Big Tobacco and Big Oil to manipulate public opinion and protect farm industry profits.
