[worldvegansociety] Taiwan Leads the Way in a route worth following.... WVS.

[Guest guest]

hi angela... i was helping on this clothes line of shame i think 06-07...

tonight i am meant to be going to the safe film show ofcourse about

animals... (though my son is buying an apartment tonight and I may need to

be there... why is life so busy?) half of my vegan friends in auckland

including myself are members of safe... work there or are volunteers...

 

the a/r scene in new zealand is really very active and a great inspiration

to all people with a kind heart...

 

how come i missed this great event this year? My diary confirms i was

working this saturday and under a lot of pressure... long story... ;-) keep

well

 

you are right on though... nz is also leading the world in the vegan way...

well done safe... and well done u at uncaged...

 

i will post this up on veganzchat then others in nz can see the

appreciation from yourselves at uncaged, uk... and how u are spreading their

good works...

....and i'll join your facebook group... ;-)

 

keep well...

 

peace
