Success Stories
 Global
Action Network as a multi-issue animal protection organization that
is primarily volunteer-based is a constant hive of activity. Whether
we are preparing for a demonstration, organizing a lecture, or meeting
with local activists there is never enough time in the day to spread
our message of respect and compassion.
With education as the foundation
of all of our activities we help animals by:
·
staging demonstrations and publicity events
·
organizing lectures given by the likes of Ingrid Newkirk, Jeffrey
Masson, Paul
Watson, and Howard Lyman
·
giving lectures on a variety of topics at universities, Cegeps and
high schools
·
printing and distributing educational literature
·
meeting with elected officials, other likeminded organizations and
activists
·
documenting and exposing cruelty
·
getting the facts out to the media through press conferences and
media releases
 To
date we've ended the Granby Zoo's plans to construct a dolphinarium
that would have housed 6 dolphins in a concrete tank, rescued pigs
from factory farms that were left to die in the winter cold, stopped
a bullfight from taking place in Montreal, and convinced two Montreal
municipalities to pass bylaws prohibiting the use of animals in
circuses - all achieved with the help of dedicated volunteers, donors
and activists who care!
Our victories for animals
depend on activists who speak out rather than walk away - often
with remarkable results - it took only one impromptu meeting with
Holt Renfrew to persuade them to remove a fur display from their
windows. You too can effect change through a phone call to a designer
who uses fur, a letter to your local municipality asking them to
ban animal acts in circuses, or a meeting with a politician. Contact
GAN for advice, and support.
The victories for animals
in the menu bar on the left were won only because someone cared
and took the time to make a difference. With your help, we can add
more success stories to this page. Please always be that someone
who cares-the animals are counting on you!
