Billy Bishop Airport in Toronto put out a new ad campaign. It was meant to express that they treat people well, but the reference to people not being cattle implies that it is okay to not treat cattle well when transporting them. (sadly cattle are not treated well when being transported) Animal Rights Toronto responded quickly and surprisingly the airport responded back by pulling the ad.

It is a victory. It is not okay to even talk about treating animals badly. Cattle deserve to be treated well and removing the ad strengthens that position.
Animal rights and animal protection will be won by small victories. It sometimes doesn't seem like much, but it got people responding to the idea that cattle deserve respect and should not be transported badly. That will help when we start pushing for better treatment of cattle when they are being transported.
