Walk this Saturday near 32nd St Farmer's Market www.walkforfarmanimals.org

[Guest guest]

Would anyone mind if I post this invitation to the group? I'm

hosting a benefit walk for Farm Sanctuary this Saturday where we

are walking to the 32nd Street Farmer's Market in Baltimore and

I thought some members might enjoy that and have some produce

shopping to do anyway/ already be in the area.

 

Thanks! Hope to see you there!

Love & Light,

Anny

CITIES ACROSS NORTH AMERICA WALK TO SAVE FARM ANIMALS

 

Farm Sanctuary’s Walk for Farm Animals Raises Awareness and

Funds for Animal Rescue and Protection

 

Baltimore. MD – August 15, 2007 – On Saturday, September 29,

residents of Baltimore will join with Farm Sanctuary, the

nation’s leading farm animal protection organization, in the

annual Walk for Farm Animals. This fun and inspiring celebration

is being sponsored in over 50 cities across North America . In

addition to promoting awareness about inhumane factory farming

practices, walkers will raise vitally needed funds to help

sustain and ensure farm animal rescue, protection and advocacy

efforts,

 

Registered walkers, wearing their Walk for Farm Animals

T-shirts, designed by Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Berkeley

Breathed, will take to the streets, parks and beaches in a show

of support urging compassion for farm animals. Educational

literature will be available at each of the Walks for those

citizens who wish to learn more about farm animal issues.

 

With important legislative efforts and actions now pending

nationwide, these Walks focus attention on current Farm

Sanctuary campaign issues including foie gras, downed animals,

veal crates for calves and gestation crates for pigs.

 

Those interested in participating in the Walk for Farm Animals

can register at www.walkforfarmanimals.org.

" The highest wisdom is kindness. " -Yiddish proverb

 

" ...consumption of livestock products is clearly linked to... risk of

transmissible encephalopathies...coronary artery disease, colon and possibly

other forms of cancer, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and infection with

salmonella, campylobacter, and E.coli O157:H7, among others. Making meat “safe”

is not a realistic or attainable goal. Ironically, while the feeding of animal

remains to other animals is now acknowledged as a dangerous practice that is

restricted in some countries, the feeding of animal remains to humans is

encouraged by government programs and massive industry efforts. "
