The summer of animal advocacy continues. Just yesterday, we helped distribute 13,000 leaflets at the Warped Tour’s most recent stop in Shakopee, Minnesota. Thirteen thousand leaflets! That’s a lot of people receiving a message of compassion for animals such as Kevin, a chicken bred by the egg industry. Like all male chicks who can’t lay eggs, Kevin was likely to be killed by being tossed alive into a grinding machine. Fortunately, Kevin was rescued from this fate and is now living out his days in a farm animal sanctuary.

Everyone who receives a leaflet is learning about Kevin and hopefully making changes in their diet accordingly. These changes have a ripple effect, saving more animals like Kevin and inspiring others to adopt a more compassionate way of life.

August brings new opportunities for powerful outreach on behalf of animals. Leafleting and tabling are both excellent ways to advocate for animals. We reach many people in a short amount of time and have great conversations while doing it.
