Notes from Vegan OutreachWOW! Adopt a College Smashes Records!
AAC
has now saved an estimated 10 million
birds and mammals from a life of
suffering! Thanks to all the hardworking leafleters -- who are out there speaking for the animals every day -- as well as the donors who have made this possible. Above, Stacy Lathrop leaflets at West Chester University of PA; photo by Jon Camp. Upcoming LeafletingBetween April 11th and April 15th, Jon Camp plans on leafleting the U of Southern ME, U VT, U NH, U MA in Amherst, and U RI. The following week, he will be leafleting in Providence, RI for a day. If you would be willing to house him for a night or two, or wish to leaflet with him, please email jon@veganoutreach.org. Thanks to everyone who has housed Jon during his past tours! Because of you, we have been able to reach tens of thousands of college students with the animals' plight.
Grassroots Conference ApproachingJon Camp will be speaking at the Grassroots Animal Rights Conference in NYC, which starts March 31.

Notes from All OverEmotions High at Animal Farm"But new research suggests animals have far more complex cognitive and social skills than we gave them credit for. And the uncomfortable truth emerging is that something similar holds for animals we like to eat: pigs, sheep, cows, chickens. At a meeting in London on animal sentience this week, scientists and animal welfare experts said we were in the middle of yet another swing in the way we treat animals."

New York Times Refutes Hitler Myth"A film review on Feb. 18 about 'Downfall,' which looks at Hitler's final days, referred incorrectly to his diet. Although the movie portrays him as a vegetarian, he did eat at least some meat."
Vegan Mentor Program
Notes from Our MembersI just wanted
to say thank you so much. Because
of your brochure, I am now vegetarian.
I eat no meat at all and have cut
back a lot of my dairy. It has been
about 4 months now and I feel so
much happier that I'm not contributing
to the suffering of animals. Thank
you for opening my eyes! We need
to get the truth out there to the
general public. We had a great Meatout
meal; Vegan Outreach's literature
was a wonderful asset to the info
table. VO is my favorite organization
-- as I believe we should focus
our attention on informing the public
and helping as many people go vegan
as possible. Thank you for everything
you do! I woke up today at
4am and drove to Indianapolis.
There were hundreds of Indiana University-Purdue
University at Indianapolis students
who wanted one of my precious booklets.
I began the distribution at 9:30am
Indiana time, and did not end until
4pm, during which time I distributed
800 EIYLMs.
