Please join me and Bay Area Vegetarians this Saturday, 8/27/05, at 7:30 pm, as we write letters to state, county, and federal legislators and officials, corporations, etc. encouraging compassion to animals. We will be a voice for the voiceless with our personal, handwritten, high-impact letters.

For those of you attending the ACT for Farmed Animals workshop during the day on Saturday, how about ending your day by writing some letters on behalf of the animals (and eating some yummy vegan food)?

New activists are encouraged to attend.

It's helpful if you can bring:-pen and paper-envelopes-name of your State & Federal legislators--find them at http://www.vote-smart.org/-veg or animal rights topics to write on (or use the ones provided) We will definitely be writing letters to protect rabbits and oppose the US Department of Agriculture's new policy of classifying rabbits as poultry: "The US Department of Agriculture has classified rabbits as "poultry" to avoid requiredprotections for the species under the 1958 Humane Methods of Slaughter Act(the government seems to think a mammal is a bird). Among other things,this means that rabbits may be fully conscious while being slaughtered.With rabbit meat becoming more popular, this is very distressing. Rabbitsare the third most popular companion animals in this country, yet if someonetreated dogs and cats this way, the perpetrators would be charged withanimal cruelty."View a recent ad from the July 28th edition of The New York Times for more information [viewed as a PDF (60k)]:http://www.hfa.org/about/rabbits.pdf We will be meeting at the BayLeaf Cafe, a charming all vegan/organic cafe in downtown Palo Alto http://www.bayareaveg.org/ug/display.htm?id=17. They serve great vegan food as well as MaggieMudd's vegan ice cream and other yummy desserts.

BayLeaf is located at 520 Ramona St. Palo Alto, CA 94301. Cross street is University. Please RSVP at http://www.bayareaveg.org/events.htm?EID=917#917 and I'll save you a seat.

Look forward to seeing you there.
