Update On Friday's Stanford Event

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

 

First things first, please be aware that the messages on this list

often find their ways into unusual places. An email I posted a couple

weeks ago wound up in the inbox of at least one intolerant person who

almost destroyed this event. This is an excellent resource and we

should praise Tammy and Chris for hooking us all together, but everyone

should remember that what happens in BAV, unlike Vegas, does not stay

in BAV. Never doubt that the animal rights movement is constantly being

watched. This is not a conspiracy theory, only a caution that a lot of

people spend a lot of energy ensuring that animals continue to suffer,

and that we remain silent. We will not.

 

So...

 

Due to some, um, " unpleasantness " regarding the original panel, the

Stanford event for tomorrow (technically today) has been reformatted

and re-casted. Your presence is all the more important, given the

current climate surrounding animal rights at Stanford.

 

Please note the new schedule:

 

FRIDAY MAY 27

12:30 pm

Room 200-034 (Lane History Building)

Panel Discussion: " Exploring Animal Rights: Ethics and Strategy "

Dr. Elliot M. Katz, Founder and President of In Defense of Animals

Christine Garcia, Animal Rights Attorney

Rabbi Mychal Copeland, Stanford Hillel

Aaron Frank, President of the California Wildlife Center

 

2:00 pm

Room 200-219

Screening of " The Witness " (more info available at www.tribeofheart.com)

 

The changes:

-The panel is no longer on vivisection, it is now on ethics and

activism. It also features some different speakers, all electrifying.

-The smaller lectures have been cancelled, though the lecturers have

joined the big panel.

- " The Witness " will be screened at 2:00 rather than 3:00.

-No food. :-(

 

This is going to be a terrific event with some great speakers! I hope

to see you there!

 

For directions, type " Lane History " in the " building " field of this

page:

http://campus-map.stanford.edu/campus_map/index.jsp

This will show you where the building is on campus. It should also give

you the building's street address which you can find directions to

through MapQuest.com. For parking, you could pay to park at Tressider

Union, also on the map above. Otherwise parking on campus can be a bit

difficult.

 

For animal liberation,

Matthew
