The First Annual Philadelphia Vegan Congress

[Guest guest]

The First Annual Philadelphia Vegan Congress

 

With the discovery of Madcow in the US, and the rapid decline of our

natural resources, there has never been a better time to take a step

up in the fight against factory farms.

 

The meat industry consumes half of the water humans consume and

depletes our soil while it pollutes our air. In the process, millions

of animals suffer from intense confinement, painful injuries, and a

slow death.

 

Any victory against factory farms is a victory for the human race as

well. As consumption of meat declines, the food supply increases and

the risk of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy(Mad Cow Disease) and

Avian Flu(Bird Flu) decreases.

 

Join Hugs for Puppies as we assemble some of the finest minds in the

animal rights movement to analyze the social problem of factory

farms. Activists from multiple issues, disciplines, and philosophies

share their thoughts on how to deal with the growing unrest

concerning our nation's food supply.
