Climate Save Movement‘s core message is: Help save the planet by going vegan and becoming active.
We are facing a climate crisis, one that affects every living being on the planet. We must mobilize to fight catastrophic climate change, so we’re very glad to announce that new Climate Save groups are forming around the world.
Joining existing groups such as Climate Save Missoula, Kitchener-Waterloo Climate Save and North Carolina Climate Save, we have new groups:
Welcome Climate Save Spain. Find them on Facebook.
Welcome Climate Save Ibiza. Find them on Facebook.
We look forward to seeing many more Climate Save groups form.
Let’s mobilize to fight climate change
The headlines tell us what’s happening, but not what to do about it.
The Save Movement is working to set up a Climate Vegan working group to produce a plan of action and to launch campaigns to address this most urgent of disasters. We will involve our 550+ chapters in 60 countries around the world. Climate change is happening and it is absolutely critical that we mobilize to fight it before it’s too late. We need all the help we can get. Please join us!

Istanbul Animal Save held their first vigil on November 19, with 11 attending. They report:
“Over the course of 3 hours, we witnessed no less than 15-20 trucks, and probably a 100 sheep, lambs, cows were killed. We exchanged numbers with many workers and traders who were there, we got tips about other slaughterhouses, and we even received an open invitation from a proud farmer — who happened to be there to have some of his cows killed — to visit his farm next Sunday.”

Adelaide Animal Save activists rescue 140 hens from egg farm
After asking for and taking 8 hens surrendered by the farm before they could be gassed to death, the activists went back for more:
“We left with the chickens, excited that 8 lives had been saved but feeling guilty that bins full of chickens were still left behind. We decided to contact Lissy and Dillon to ask for some help and made the decision that we would all go together and ask the owner if we could rescue more. The owner agreed and was gracious to let us take and re-home as many as we could. In two cars we managed to fit around 140 hens, and spent the rest of the night delivering them to homes and sanctuaries who welcomed them.”
The Animal Project report from their November 21 vigil for the turkeys with Legion DX Sydney:
“Grown in filthy, windowless sheds, they are crammed in their thousands, never to see the light of day. Slaughtered at 8-10 weeks old. Unspeakable cruelty that few of us ever think about. turkeys have a wide range of feelings – joy, fear, love, loyalty, pain. They are NO different. We witness these emotions every day. Please take turkey off your plate and opt for a kinder Christmas for all.”
Hannover Animal Save report from their November 16 vigil for the pigs at the Leine-Fleisch slaughter plant:
“We were back in Gleidingen to document the suffering and individual faces of the victims in the animal industries and if possible to give them some love and compassion. Because of our talks with the slaughterhouse we had unlimited access to the trucks and were able to film and spend time with the pigs.”

KW Animal Save shares these words after their November 21 vigil:
“To all of those who were killed today at Conestoga ‘Meat’ Packers, we hope that you may now rest in the peace that you were denied in life. Deep in that dark filthy cage,
Trembling in cold and fear,
Slammed against that metal truck,
Crammed with all your peers,
Walking in that narrow corridor,
With shouts behind the door,
Facing the bodies of your friends,
On the killing floor.
Even in these moments,
We wanted you to know,
That we see you, we hear you, we feel you, we love you,
That you are not alone
An excerpt from ‘You’re not Alone,’ written by Aylam Orian”

London Ontario Fur Animal Save held an anti-fur outreach event outside a major fur retailer:

Manitoba Animal Save held a protest outside the Canada Goose manufacturing plant in Winnipeg:
“This winter, make it a goal to speak out on behalf of the innocent animals that have been killed and continue to suffer and die for fashion. We have loads of literature you can take in which you can hand out to your friends and loved ones, or to those wearing fur on the streets to educate them about the horrors of the fur industry.”

Hi, I’m Lily the Mother Goat.
Please follow/like myInstagramand Facebookpages.
Nothing to see here folks… just a goat trying to snuggle with her fam — just like all beings should!
Toronto Pig Save started in December 2010, with a promise to the pigs of doing a minimum of three vigils and vegan outreach events each week, all year round. We bear witness as a community of pigs, cows, chickens and other farmed animal victims in slaughterhouse trucks. The animals want us to be present and, with the most pleading eyes, ask for our help when we see them through the portholes of transport trucks. Just as if we were in those horrid trucks, we would want the whole community to be there fighting for our freedom, liberation, rights, and equality. In a way, we are there. All life is one and, “when (wo)men wish to harm others, they really do evil to themselves,” Leo Tolstoy said in his animal rights story “Esarhaddon, King of Assyria”. It’s our positive duty and obligation to act in the present to try to stop the most egregious injustices before us.
“When the suffering of another creature causes you to feel pain, do not submit to the initial desire to flee from the suffering one, but on the contrary, come closer, as close as you can to her who suffers, and try to help her.” – Leo Tolstoy
In seven years, The Save Movement has grown to over 560 Save groups in 60 countries around the world. Our dream is to have regular vigils at every slaughter plant worldwide. We regularly give seed money to new Save groups and require funds for literature, posters, subway ad campaigns (iVegan.ca) and vegan outreach events.
Make animal liberation your priority in life! Think of 10 kind things you can do each day and encourage your friends to do the same! Join us and participate in our weekly vigils, start a Save group in your community, and be a regular donor.
