Compassionate Action for Animals
What We Do
Compassionate Action for Animals works to reduce the suffering of
farmed animals through outreach and education such as distributing
leaflets, cable access shows, vegan food giveaways, and speakers. We
are building a community of people concerned about animal rights by
hosting vegetarian potlucks, dine-outs, and social events in
Minneapolis and St. Paul.
The Issues
Most of us would like to think that the meat, milk, and eggs we buy come from animals who have lived happy, healthy lives. Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. Like cats and dogs, the animals we eat have complex emotions including the ability to suffer. Yet on modern farms, they are treated with such disregard that similar treatment to a cat or dog would be grounds for felony cruelty charges in Minnesota.
