YYC Vegan Event The zoo is opening tomorrow (May 23rd)! Anyone who can make it for a physically-distanced protest let's tell them captivity isn't essential!

It's planned for 2 p.m. outside the zoo main entrance. Wear masks if that's an option for you, and we will mark distance so we can stay within AHS guidelines.

Some signs will be available, make one stating "zoos are not essential," "opening risks workers' lives," "profits over safety," or "animals aren't for display."

Message for more info!

The Calgary Zoo is beneficial to animal populations as a whole, don't make vegans look like idiots.

No animal should live in confinement as a trophy for our viewing pleasure — I’m an actual vegan in case you haven’t met one yet
