Book Club at Common Roots Café

The book club will be discussing The Compassionate Carnivore by Minnesota author Catherine Friend. In the book, she discusses her desire to be compassionate toward animals while still eating meat, and how she reconciles this dilemma. Come share your own perspectives on this provocative book and join the discussion on how the concepts in the book relate to animal rights and speciesism.

Copies of the book are available at half.com (from $1+), amazon.com (from $8), and through St. Paul public libraries and Hennepin County libraries.

Hope to see you there!

Date: August 25, 2009 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Location: Common Roots Cafe, 2558 Lyndale Ave. S., Mpls

Cheesecake Factory Farm Petition

EBAA has launched a new campaign urging the Cheesecake Factory to stop using eggs from hens that are confined in barren battery cages. Check out their website to contact The Cheesecake Factory and ask them to stop supporting this cruelty!

Battery cage confinement is one of the worst practices in factory farming, where hens are crammed into cages so small they spend their entire lives barely able to move. Each hen is given less space than a sheet of paper on which to live her entire life, and is unable to engage in any of her natural behaviors. Please let The Cheesecake Factory know that you will not support this kind of animal cruelty, and that you request that they stop using eggs from caged hens.

The Cheesecake Factory's home state of California passed The Prevention of Farm Animal Cruelty Act (Prop 2), which outlaws the confinement of hens in battery cages. Contact The Cheesecake Factory today and ask them to follow the lead of California voters by ending the use of eggs from caged hens in their products. More information can be found online
