Toronto March to Close All Slaughterhouses, "die-in" & memorial (2013)
300 marchers chanted "Meat is murder! Stop the slaughter" in the first ever Toronto March to Close All Slaughterhouses. The march began at Christie pits and proceeded to downtown Toronto towards "Quality Meat Packers" pig slaughterhouse. Once reaching Wellington St., where the gruesome slaughterhouse is located, the march turned silent... a red die-in on the street in front of the pig slaughterhouse capped it, demonstrating deep convictions:
"Ramakrishna thereupon sat down among the poor creatures and wept, declaring that he would not move from thence, but would share their fate. Croesus was obliged to submit and do the will of his poor priest." -from Romain Rolland's biographies of Ramakrishna and Vivikananda in The New Prophets of India.
Thank you to Paris and Tolouse for starting the March in 2012 and Caroline, MaiNa, Lee Aiken, Debbie Fong, Lynne Barrington, Tracy Timmons, Hardayal Kalla, Edina Racz, Layla, Carlos, Sabrina, Paul, Felicia, Mina, Sinem, Helen, Steve, Robert, Chris, Louise, and numerous other team members for organizing this year's march and helping generate support for the march in cities around the world.
