TAKE ACTION! Ontario is currently consulting the public regarding ag gag #Bill156 regulations. Tell your MPP & Minister of Agriculture @erniehardeman to protect animals on farms & NOT to punish whistleblowers who expose animal abuse! 👇 #StopAgGagLaws

"It is on the surface about one guy's quest to save a walrus, but I intended [it] to be a universal story about the fight to defend the vulnerable, the cost & courage of speaking out, & the hills we are willing to die on." - @wwbdoc dir. @natbibeau. #CALC2020

Phil Demers was once a trainer at Marineland. In 2012, he quit in protest of the organization's treatment of the animals, citing negligence. Nathalie Bibeau crafts an up-close account of the controversy in THE WALRUS AND THE WHISTLEBLOWER. buff.ly/2B4zIss #DOXA2020
