A Day in the Life of a Vegan Activist

10/18/07 • 30 min

Recounts 2 days in the life of a vegan activist in New York City. She laments the priorities of society, and, in particular, the NYPD, at an Italian street fair. She lambastes today's young vegans who should be out there shoulder to shoulder with other vegan activists. Until we show the numbers, the meat eaters will walk all over us vegans, the planet, and the animals.

Veal crate, pro-veg'n demonstration at Astor Place, NYC

4 November 2007 - This Podcast is an on-the-spot account of a great outreach event with the VivaVegie Society. Pamela Rice, Hard News Vegan, and five compatriots set up a to-spec veal crate at Astor Place in New York City. Several activists took turns sitting inside it, making a particularly powerful image for passersby and passing cars. Activists held pro-veg'n signs, passed out information about the veal crate. And when they got a chance, they also distributed "101 Reasons Why I'm a Vegetarian." Several people are interviewed in this podcast. Later, the activists trade accounts of their experiences at the demo over a late lunch. Contact info: [email protected]; http://VivaVegie.org
