Vegan outreach at colleges

Last Tuesday I spent some hours doing
Vegan Outreach at San Diego City College.
VO has a program, Adopt a College, to leaflet colleges since young people are more concerned about animals, their suffering, about being healthier too and also about the future of our planet (animal agriculture is one of the top reasons for global warming).
Vegan Outreach also a new program 10 weeks to Vegan, where people are helped to ditch an animal product each week, please enroll and start saving animals too!
It is a joy to volunteer for Vegan Outreach to help animals and our planet while educating younger generations.

I, Chicken and Vegan Outreach at Balboa Park

Today was a great day! #VeganOutreach #IChicken #PETA #BalboaPark
I got to work with my dear friend Ellen for the animals
we leafleted hundreds of materials
Vegan Outreach Compassionate Choices,
Vegan Starter Kits from PETA
Truth or Drought leaflets (which I proudly designed)
SeaWorld information (anti-captivity anti-SeaWorld)
and FARM's You Have Been Lied To (please read these leaflets the have the most complete information on all the natural resources used for every animal we eat, it is very eye-opening to see this!)
People were kind and receptive today!

Me and Ellen at Balboa Park, our favorite place for vegan outreach

At the park were also our friends from PETA
with the exhibit "I, Chicken"
a fantastic virtual reality experience and lets you
see how chickens are taken from an open field
into a cage, and eventually a conveyor where
they will be killed.
The video is cartoon-like and is not gory at all,
there is no blood or violent images, so it's apt for children.
PETA did a great job, read more about it.

The I, Chicken team traveled from Los Angeles to educate about chickens and animal suffering

My dear friend Izabela, vegan, activists and music fan, we saw Morrissey together! #MozArmy

Christopher Locke, author of Persimmon Takes on Humanity

Brian, Mexican American super cool vegan activist and girl watching I, Chicken

People were really interested on the experience and understood how chickens felt in cages and conveyor belts

Animals used for entertainment

As my mom's friend said:
I've taken to the streets! To speak for animal abuse.
Most of these protests were against animals used for entertainment.
Circuses, zoos, aquariums, dog fighting, hunting, fishing, horse racing, bullfighting… all of these practices keep animals in captivity and use them against their will for human entertainment. People take part, considering them fun, entertaining, artistic or cultural, but none justify the forcing of animals into confinement, to suffer and die, for our benefit.

Here some of the protests and outreach I joined during July 2015.

Protest at Circus Ramos, where they keep animals in terrible conditions, animals are not ours to use them for entertainment. San Marcos, CA.

Del Mar Death Track, Del Mar Racing Horses, 5 horses have died in 2 weeks in 2015. Del Mar, CA.

Vegan Outreach at Comi-Con 2015, it was a lot of fun and we gave away 4,000 leaflets to help people switch their diet. San Diego, CA.

Protest at SeaWorld, where whales, dolphins, sea lions, penguins are kept to be used for entertainment. San Diego, CA.

Veganize San Diego

yesterday at OB People's Market
this amazing cooperative market where all the veggies
are local, organic, and affordable, is a vegetarian store too
NO meat in sight, they have a wonderful deli upstairs!

getting veggies before going leafleting

and after giving away some information on why going vegan
is so important for the animals, to improve our health
and for the planet!

Sunday leafleting

Vegan Outreach leafleting
great day leafleting with my friend Ellen
at Balboa Park, hopefully more people will learn
the sad truth of how farm animals are treated
and will switch to less cruelty eating
a vegan diet is better for your body
spares animals lives and all the horrors they go through
and is better for the environment
please go vegan or at least reduce your consumption
of animal products, is the good thing to do!

sunny Sunday

yesterday was a great day!
we gave away many vegan materials
many more people are getting compassionate
towards animals, after learning the truth
of how animals are raised and killed for food
these days, in those horrible farming factories
after learning how animals are treated in
circus, zoos, and aquariums, many humans
are turning to be be compassionate
be compassionate and kind to animals too!
don't eat them!
don't use them for clothing!
don't use products tested on animals!
be kind to life and life will be kind to you
go vegan!

leafleting with Ellen

Rick, Ellen, and I, happy to spread veganism on a Sunday

leafleting

part of being a vegan is trying to
create awareness of the animal suffering
and the huge environmental problems
along with health issues that brings
eating animals...
my main concern has always been
the animal suffering, so it's good
to let others know what animals go through
one of the most effective ways is leafleting!
this is what my friend Ellen, an admirable
animal rights activist in San Diego, and I
did this past Sunday, and Saturday at the
Chinese New Year Food and Cultural Fair
it was a great event, people were very receptive
and a couple stopped and asked more about
animals, vegan and vegetarian diets, and took
the leaflets home.
We gave away leaflets from Vegan Outreach
Vegetarian Starter kits from Mercy for Animals
and FARM. Statistics say that for every 100 leaflets
given, about one person goes vegan.
We gave away over 1,000 leaflets!
So we will have at least 10 new vegans!
Who hopefully will leaflet themselves
and will tell their friends & family about the
importance of respecting animals lives
and how inhumane is to eat animals
and the devastation we are creating in our planet
by raising animals for food!
I had a weekend full of hope!

Why Vegan?

“There’s a schizoid quality to our relationship with animals, in which sentiment and brutality exist side by side. Half the dogs in America will receive Christmas presents this year, yet few of us pause to consider the miserable life of the pig – an animal easily as intelligent as a dog – that becomes the Christmas ham.”

The New York Times Magazine
“An Animal’s Place,” by Michael Pollan, 11/10/02
