  1. Another Chance to See Vegucated in NYC on Wed., Feb. 22

    by
    Filed under: Activism Events Film, TV, & Video Media New York City

    Did you miss the NYC premiere of Vegucated? Did you also miss the screening at Cynthia King‘s dance studio in Brooklyn a couple of weeks ago? How about the one up at Columbia University that was the same night as January’s Vegan Drinks? Well, how fortunate for you that it’s playing again! And so conveniently located, too — Whole Foods Tribeca will host the screening on Wednesday, February 22 at 6:15. Viewers are encouraged to grab food before the movie and, after the film, join in for the Q-and-A with film subjects Ellen and Tesla and writer-director Marisa Miller Wolfson.

  2. Mercy for Animals Is Hiring a Director of Education

    by
    Filed under: Activism Animal Rights Chicago Los Angeles New York City

    A real, live, full-time job with one of the most effective organizations in exposing cruelty to farmed animals? And the job is to tell people how great it is to be vegan and how animals are really super (in a far more educated-sounding way)? How wonderful. My favorite highlights about the job, swiped from MFA’s site, below. Check out the full job description and application instructions on MFA’s site.

    Primary Responsibilities and Duties:

    • Develop and implement innovative regional and national outreach strategies to more effectively raise awareness about farmed animal welfare issues and veganism in the United States

    • Manage and train regional coordinators to conduct local grassroots outreach, including leafleting events, restaurant outreach, tabling events, film screenings and more

    • Develop MFA’s humane education presentations, maintain MFA’s humane education program, and train and assist staff in implementing the organization’s humane education program

    • Manage and assist MFA’s national campaign coordinator in planning and conducting events across the country geared toward attracting mainstream media attention to important farmed animal welfare issues and elevating MFA’s status as a national animal advocacy organization.

  3. Japan Admits Using Tsunami Disaster Relief Money to Fund Military Actions Against Unarmed Vegans

    by
    Filed under: Activism Hunting & Fishing Japan Sea Shepherd

    Some of our very best friends on earth, including my Darwin Animal Doctors nonprofit co-founder Andrea Gordon, are about to risk their lives, going on Sea Shepherd’s latest whale protection campaign in Antarctica, Operation Divine Wind. The odd thing is that a few months ago, after Japan ended its 2011 whaling season early due to Sea Shepherd anti-whaling activities, Japan announced it was halting its Antarctic whaling program indefinitely. So Operation Divine Wind technically should not have needed to happen. However, Japan’s Antarctic whaling program recently got an unexpected financial boost that allowed it to start up again this year. Specifically, Japan’s government took tsunami victim relief funding, and spent it on military funding for the Japanese whaling fleet.

    Japan took 2.28 billion yen ($29.4 million USD) that was raised and earmarked to help victims of the Japanese tsunami disaster, and used that money to beef up military security for the Japanese Antarctic whaling fleet, in order to combat Sea Shepherd volunteers. The Sea Shepherd flag ship, the Steve Irwin, cost less than two million USD total in comparison, although it has been successful thus far in repelling the military weaponry of the Japanese fleet anyway (which has included guns, grenades, and LRADs). But this new military funding taken from disaster relief funds dwarfs previous years’ military funding for the Japanese whaling fleet.

    The Japanese whaling fleet left port in Japan this week, and is on its way to Antarctica now. So the Sea Shepherd fleet, currently in Australia, will depart to protect whales from the whaling fleet in the next couple weeks.

  4. Quornholio

    Heya Heya, SuperVegans!

    Big News! Compassion Over Killing has successfully convinced the makers of Quorn products to ditch the eggs in a burger! Out now across the US is (supposedly, we actually haven’t seen it yet) a Vegan Quorn burger! Yay us!

    The burger is still made from factory fungus though, so it gives me pause, but as much as that creeps me out, it annoyed me more that all their products contain egg albumen, which with whey are the banes of my existence. I’ll try it. Will/have you?

  5. The Subway Crusade!

    by
    Filed under: Activism Canada Food Restaurants

    Ask and ye shall receive! That’s a thing, right? Well the fine folks at Compassion Over Killing think so, and we want to help!

    Wouldn’t it be incredible to affect change at the world’s largest restaurant chain AND have another vegan food option at the ready?

    Subway (35,786 restaurants in 98 countries) has introduced a brand new vegan patty! Awesome?! Well, yes & no: it’s only available at some of its restaurants in Canada. And the veggie patty currently offered in the US contains egg. Let’s convince them to bring us USers the Vegan one! It will only take a few seconds of your internet play time, swear!

    OPTION ONE (1) (I): go to WeLoveSubway.com and leave a comment. Here’s one if you just want to copy + paste:
    I would really really really like the Vegan Vegged Out Patty to be available in the US, really!

    OPTION TWO (2) (II): go to The Facebook and leave a comment. Here’s one for you, so easy!
    Please please please bring the Vegan Vegged Out Patty to the US, please!

    OPTION THREE (3) (III): Tweet a message at them. Here’s one pre-typed by me on your behalf:
    @subwayfreshbuzz I want the Vegan #VeggedOutPatty in the US. Canada is far and I am a hungry vegan person! @SuperVegan @TryVeg

    OPTION FOUR (4) (IV): Call Subway. This sounds extreme in the digital age, but trust me, it’s not. A nice human being will listen to you! Here’s the number 203-877-4281

    OPTION FIVE (5) (V): Send an actual e-mail.
    I can’t fill out the form for you, sorry. But it has pull downs. It’s real easy for a whiz like you!

    Do 1, 1-5 or any combo thereof and you’ll be our favorite reader ever! C’mon let’s do this. I want to hit up Fatburger next and get them to switch from their Veggie Boca Burger to the Vegan one!!
