Downed cows and more need your letters! (Berk. LWP 5/17)

[Guest guest]

There are several important action alerts (animal

welfare situations requiring input from the public)

and pending legislation right now. For one, the USDA

is considering loosening its ban on slaughter of

downed cows for human consumption, such that cruel

treatment of injured cows could be reinstated.

 

Join Bay Area Vegetarians as we write letters to

protest such actions, on Tuesday, May 17 at 7pm at Au

Coquelet Cafe in Berkeley.

 

Handwritten letters are known to have a great impact

on legislators and organizations with a stake in

public opinion. I'll provide overviews of current

action alerts and legislation, and guidelines for

writing letters. Just bring yourself, and the names

of your representatives: http://www.vote-smart.org/

 

Au Coquelet Cafe is at 2000 University Ave. at Milvia

St., downtown Berkeley (in back room, at table under

the clock). (near BART)

Thanks, and on behalf of the animals, hope to see you

there!
