This 4th of July: Please Help Me Celebrate My 12-Year Vegan Anniversary

July 1, 2010

This June, I celebrated my 12-YEAR VEGAN ANNIVERSARY! Will you please help me to celebrate 12 years of a compassionate lifestyle by donating any multiple of $12 to PETA in my name?

For the past several years, I’ve chosen to support IDA for its contributions to the alterations of speciesist law and legal language. Current laws, far from protecting the rights of non-human animals, continually fail to offer even basic non-human welfare protection. One of IDA’s current US projects is “The Guardian Campaign”, seeking to change language referring to the human relationship to companion animals from “owner” to “guardian”, altering remedies for abuse, neglect and abandonment.

This year, however, in light of the most devastating oil spill in human history, I’m supporting PETA in its campaign to bring cruelty-to-animal charges against BP. For information about PETA’s campaign, please visit https://secure.peta.org/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=3186

Thank you!

Tiffany

PS: Thanks to the San Diego businesses that have provided tasty anniversary treats!

Go Vegan & Boycott Fireworks This 4th of July

You can fight Big Oil this weekend by choosing to indulge in vegan foods! The production of animal “foods” requires eight times more fossil fuels than does the production of plant-based foods.

Fireworks are environmentally destructive and cause extraordinary stress and the homelessness, confinement and death of thousands of animals every year.
