Animal Protection Party of Canada
Deborah asks Liz White to explain how the Animal Protection Party differs from the Green Party, Greenpeace, & PETA. Liz describes a completely different political party that advocates for animals; on farms, being hunted, trapped, fished and for a kinder society. ‘Compassionate politics’ is the term Liz White uses to define the party ethic. What are they actually doing to help animals on the ground? Right now they are working to stop the Cormorant cull in Ontario and they need your support
Cormorants are migratory birds that eat small fish in fresh and salt water and migrate from all over the USA and Canada and have been persecuted for decades. Even during the pandemic when only essential workers are meant to be out, the Ontario government is still paying and sending people in boats to a bird sanctuary island 25 miles off shore to kill cormorants. These birds are not Ontario’s to kill, Deborah points out these are the same birds that fly all over north America and migrate back and forth so you don’t have to be Canadian to send this politician an email.
