It was a great turnout last night at Spartacus Book Store on
Hastings Street.  A fantastic community event and a great warm up for tonight.  Dr. Steve Best spoke along with three members of SHAC Vancouver, regarding animal experimentation, and how we can help to stop HLS from exploiting and torturing animals.

Please join us on Granville Island tonight for a truly unique evening regarding animal rights & environmental ethics...

A community speaking engagement with one of the most eloquent and empowering voices of our time.

I hope to see you there if you are in Vancouver!
