Slaughtered each year in Quebec
They are sensitive
Animals used for agricultural, experimental or recreational purposes in Quebec are intelligent, emotional beings. They are capable of complex behavior. They feel joy, fear and pain. They are much closer to us than we think.
They are used
Locked up in cages, artificially inseminated, tagged, sent to the slaughterhouse as soon as possible; used in games, injured or killed for any reason; this is the daily life of most animals exploited in Quebec.
They are ignored
In Quebec, the law governing animal rights totally excludes all exploited or wild animals. Yet they are similar to our pets in their intelligence and sensitivity. But it’s the industries that decide how they are treated.
They are forgotten
For the general public, the only thing we see of animals is often a smiling picture on a package. The individual that ends up in our basket, their life, suffering and death: everything is hidden from us so that we buy without thinking.

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