The Ethics of What We Eat:
A Debate with PETA VP Bruce Friedrich
Thursday, November 20 @ 4pm
Carmichael Auditorium (in Hunter Lab)

Bruce Friedrich is Vice President of Policy and Government Affairs for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. He is one of the most influential animal rights activists in the world, frequently debating the industries that exploit animals.

The event is sponsored by the Brown Animal Rights Club and the Brown Debate Union.

Demonstration at KFC this Saturday

KFC and their suppliers are among the most offending companies that abuse animals. Their chickens are raised and slaughtered in a manner that would be illegal for many other species, and even their own animal welfare advisors have complained. Earlier in the year, KFC Canada finally responded to pressure from animal advocacy groups, so this type of action can have a real effect!

Everyone should meet under Faunce Arch on Saturday at 1:00, and we will go to the RIPTA stop from there. BARC has the materials, so all you need to do is show up. Demonstrations are a fun way to get the message out about animal exploitation. Last year we got lots of supportive honks - - bring a friend!

When: SATURDAY, 1:00pm (leaving KFC a little after 3pm)
Where: Meet at Faunce Arch (the KFC is at 805 North Main)

See you there!!

Success for Proposition 2!

On Tuesday, Californians said "yes!" with a 63% majority to support Proposition 2, a historic leap forward for farm animal welfare law. Beginning in 2015, factory farms in California will be required to provide breeding pigs, laying hens and veal calves with enough space to stand up, turn around and stretch out their limbs.

This is an incremental change, but it is progress. Tuesday produced a major victory for all of us who care about what happens to animals, and we thank those who have been working hard to pass the proposition.
