History[edit | edit source]
The Animal Protection Party of Canada was founded in 2005 under the name "Animal Alliance Environment Voters Party of Canada." The party was established by a group of animal rights activists and environmentalists who sought to create a political platform dedicated to these issues. In 2016, the party changed its name to the Animal Protection Party of Canada to better reflect its core mission.

- Raising awareness about the ethical treatment of animals in various industries, including agriculture, entertainment, and research.

- **Environmental Protection**: Promoting renewable energy, reducing carbon emissions, and protecting endangered species.
- **Public Health**: Addressing the links between animal welfare, environmental health, and human health, including the prevention of zoonotic diseases.
Leadership[edit | edit source]
The party is led by a leader who is elected by party members. The current leader is Liz White, who has been a prominent figure in the animal rights movement in Canada.
