What will we be doing?
Holding posters or helping to hold a huge banner, handing out literature, giving away vegetarian starter kits, DVD's, and other handouts. A person dressed in a chicken suit will walk around with a "Meat is Murder" sign allowing for several people (such as tourists) to take pictures and spread awareness even further. There will be a megaphone playing an edited audio version of "Meet your Meat."
Why this type of demo?
The main objective of this campaign is to get people to look at 'animal products' as more then just food; these were once sentient beings that lived, experienced emotions, and felt. We want people to know about the animal behind the food. We hope this highly contraversial demonstration will get people thinking and talking.
Join us and help to spread the word!

"Such a great cause and what a great day to spread awareness! It was a cold and windy day and we were ready for it. Anothy made a great chicken, daning to the music and holding his sign, "Eat your veggies, not your friends!" Many people wanted a picture with him! About 700 Vegan Outreach booklets given away as well as several DVDs, and Veg Starter Kits from interested people. I think this demonstration made quite a few people think. I only found about 5 booklets on the ground! I was amazed!" -

"i loved going there. it was an awesome experience. the only thing i did not like was the cold weather which has left me with a runny and sneezy nose. i liked talking to the people who were against what we were doing. it was a cool debate. there were some rude remarks from passerbys but, who cares. thats what happens right? anyway, i loved it! i had a great time. the organizer was awesome, really friendly, and the people who attended were also warm, and kind. thanks for the experience!"

"It was very good! Lots of people learned the truth about the cruelty that occurs on factory farms.I'm sure almost everyone will think about that everytime they buy or eat meat. We did make a difference ! "
