The mother and daughter said they had already heard of Falun Dafa through the girl's school and both of them had signed a petition to stop forced organ harvesting from living Falun Dafa practitioners at a baseball match.
“People Have the Right to Practice Falun Dafa anywhere in any Country”
A lot of festival goers signed on a petition to stop the forced organ harvesting from living Falun Dafa practitioners at the festival.
Mr. Manu Mathew, a quality control analyst working in Toronto, brought his son to the festival. After he learned that the Chinese Communist Regime has a state-sanctioned program to harvest and sell organs from Falun Dafa practitioners, he said that people have the right to practice Falun Dafa anywhere in any country.
He signed a petition condemning the Communist Regime and requesting to stop the forced organ harvesting immediately.

Mr. and Mrs. Chubbuck brought their three children to the festival. They told the Falun Dafa volunteers that they were aware of the persecution in China. The couple signed the petition to stop forced organ harvesting too.
Mechanic Emanuel Demelo
A local resident of Stouffville and a mechanic, Mr. Emanuel Demelo commented after signing the petition, “The persecution of Falun Dafa is wrong. Forced organ harvesting is wrong. Organs should be donated, not harvested from living people by force.”
“Wish my signature can help you (to stop the persecution)!” said Mr. Mark Sutherland, a resident of Stouffville, too.
“The persecution of Falun Dafa is very scary. I wish the world can unite and help you to stop the persecution in China.” Commented Jeff Chase from Newmarket.
