Tabling at Earth Day in Savannah, GA, Joelle writes:
We had three activists – Liliana, a young mother of 2 children; Colby, student at SCAD; and I. We had books about about the cruelty and pollution of factory farming, vegetarian cookbooks, and booklets.
It was very successful. Forsyth Park was packed with people. We met a good number of vegetarians and serious environmentalists, and we had good discussions with the many people looking at the pictures of factory farms. We gave out 200 Christian Vegetarian Association booklets (Are we good stewards of God's creation) and 200 PETA leaflets.

3. Comments Regarding Cage-Free Eggs
I am overjoyed that the British have started buying more free range eggs than battery/caged eggs. Any victory which reduces the suffering of animals is a victory, no matter how small. Sometimes we have to take baby steps before we can take giant steps! Sincerely, Ann Bailey
Any step in the right direction shows an increase of concern for chickens. Certainly, free range is not the ideal. I would prefer that everyone in the world become instantly vegan. But because the problem of abusing chickens in the food industry is so great, we should accept any positive changes made while continuing to advocate for more change.
Alissa Slack
One need only watch this new video and read the accompanying blog (dated November 13, 2007) to understand that free-range is a gross misnomer, designed to extract more money from previously guilt-ridden, now guilt-free consumers. I do not mean that we should stop trying to improve conditions for all embattled animals currently drafted by the "meat militia," only that we should share with the world the miserable reality underlying illusion-laced euphemisms like "free range." And we should shift more of our time and money to fighting for basic legal rights for all sentient beings. Here is the the link to the video and blog:
