If slaughterhouses had glass walls, ¥ everyone would be a vegetarian. About Us Toronto Chicken Save, a sister organization of Toronto Pig Save, is a grassroots group of concerned, caring and compassionate individuals whose mission it is to “make slaughterhouses have glass walls.” Our Goal and Vision TCS will organize regular vigils at Toronto area poultry slaughterhouses to awaken the public to the atrocities taking place behind the walls and barbed-wire fences of these killing factories. These include Brampton based Maple Lodge farms, Canada's largest chicken slaughterhouse, killing 500,000 birds daily and Toronto based Maple Leaf who kill 60,000 birds daily. We will encourage people to try vegan, protect the environment, and support local farm sanctuaries. Toronto Chicken Save calls for a just transition for workers as we adjust our food economy to a local, organic, and whole grain plant-based diet.
