BESA is a Quebec non-profit organization for animal welfare.
It exposes the living conditions of exploited animals in Quebec and proposes solutions to foster a society that is fairer towards animals, but also towards the humans who live in contact with them.
Behind the pretty ads encouraging us to eat more “Canadian” turkey, the turkey industry has been intensifying for decades, with disastrous and horrific consequences for the animals.
Citizens, workers, and animals: we all deserve better than what you are about to see in this investigation.
Even today, not all animals in Quebec are sufficiently protected by law. Their rights do not depend on their sentience or intelligence, but on their exploitation by various industries.

BESA is entirely funded by donations. This gives us the freedom to act in defense of animals by revealing their conditions of life (and death), and by proposing solutions to help them.
This independence is invaluable, at a time when economic interests often take precedence over those of living beings.
