Notes
from Vegan Outreach
 Even
before the end of February, volunteers
for Adopt a College have already
handed out over
190,000 booklets at
more than 250 colleges from Mexico
to Vancouver. This is far above
last Spring's total at this time
(123,608). Overall, activists have
now leafleted at over
1,000 schools!

As we move into March and spring
approaches, you
can help speak out for the animals.
If you've never leafleted before
and would like some help getting
started, please contact us -- anne
(at) veganoutreach (dot) org.
And we'll be adding
more soon.

Notes from All
Over
Slaughterhouse Follow-Up
Thanks to DawnWatch,
we learn that, "Meatpacker
to Shut Down In Wake of Massive
Recall."
We'll give the last word to the
Houston Chronicle:
"[N]o one there took any care
to hide it. Like all meat processing
plants, the facility was supervised
by federal inspectors. And because
the plant reportedly was chosen
randomly, there's little reason
to doubt that what happened there
has been repeated elsewhere."

Notes from Our
Members
One of the 13-year-old
soccer players I coach
wants to be vegetarian, so I gave
her dad a few booklets. The next
day he said, "Wow! After looking
through them, we are not sure if
we want  to
even eat any meat again."

JC Corcoran leaflets at the
University of Georgia.
At De Anza College,
a woman told me she
has drastically reduced her meat
consumption since receiving an Even
If You Like Meat in the past.
She said if she tries to eat chicken,
she starts crying and cannot do
it (a very appropriate response,
I might add). Further, her husband,
formerly a big meat eater, has recently
cut down his meat consumption after
they looked through the EI
together. She said she was taking
another EI because she
keeps giving her copy away to other
people.
-Victor Tsou, 2/20/08
At Medgar Evers College,
one student asked
for 30 copies for a class presentation.
Another walked by me, saying, "You
already gave me one this morning."
Then she walked another block down
the hill, stopped, turned around,
came back up the hill, and asked
me all about how to go vegan. I
referred her to the website and
gave her a Guide
to Cruelty-Free Eating.
Finally, as I was walking away to
warm up somewhere briefly, a student
ran up the hill after me saying,
"Lady in the purple coat! Can
I have a few more of your books
for my friends??"
-Eileen Botti, 2/20/08
At the University of
Texas, one student
stopped to tell me that he agreed
with the booklet. At first, however,
he thought it would be too hard
to change and dismissed the idea.
Yet after being given the booklet
on multiple occasions, each time
a reminder of the truth, he just
couldn't ignore it any longer. He
has now cut down his meat consumption
considerably.
-Sarah Bryant, 2/20/08
 Students
at the University of Miami told
Casey that a number of classes today
ended up being dominated entirely
by discussions about the pamphlets
he was handing out.
-Eugene Khutoryansky,
reporting for Casey Constable (currently
touring the southeast), 2/18/08
At the University of
Houston, I experimented
with giving EIs to males
and Compassionate
Choices to females, whereas
my brother Marc (at right)
loved using the CCs for
everyone.
