Well, I'm too lazy (aka BUSY) to just pull out the events that are veggie -
and to post events in full detail (just click on the links!). There are a
number of Animal Charity events this month.... and then some other events
that may be of interest to you all ANYWAY...
No one else seems to like to post events on my lj events group =0(

Missing cat in Ottawa - please forward

ar...@inorbit.com (Joanne Charlebois) — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 21:22:15 UT

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if you could please forward this to anyone you know who
lives in the area, and/or who is involved with trap-neuter-release or
feeding stray cats in Ottawa.
One of my cats, Gretchen, who lives with my ex-boyfriend went missing on
August 6. She is about 2 years old, a (spayed) female tabby cat. She is a

"Do you have any spare room in your house/apartment where a cat (or two) could rest and recover for 2-3 weeks (upper respiratory)? I can honestly tell you that being in someone’s bathroom to recover is far better than having to stay here in these cramped quarters."

Shrine Circus Protest

Vaalea sent ottawaveg4animals@googlegroups .com a message on Facebook.

Time: 7:00pm - 8:00pm
Location: St Laurent Shopping Mall - back parking lot (look for circus tents)
Street: 1200 St. Laurent Blvd.

Circuses are torture for Animals. It's just that simple. Spend 1 hour of your Friday evening speaking out for abused animals. You'll be glad you did! : )

Shrine Circus

diana.pa...@casott.on.ca (Daisygirl) — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 13:34:24 UT

Does anyone know if there is a protest being organized about this
upcoming circus at St. Laurent Shopping Centre beginning August 8. I
attended a protest 2 years ago there and a lot of activists showed up,
so I hope there is going to be one this year.

You may have heard the great news that HYPERLINK
"[link]" \nKFC Canada will be making
sweeping changes to the ways that chickens slaughtered for its restaurants
are raised and killed. In addition, KFC Canada is now offering a vegan
chicken menu item in more than half its stores in Canada.

FW: Foster Homes Urgently Needed

v...@vaalea.com (vaalea) — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 15:07:13 UT

Hi all,
Sorry about the mass email, but we are getting pretty desperate with our
foster situation and need to get the word out there about our need. Of the
last 10 rabbits arriving in rescue (in the past month and a half), 7 have
been abandoned or stray and we are struggling to keep up with the demand of

stittsvi...@rogers.com (Anne and Chris) — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 04:08:40 UT

OK, as I was talking to a group of meat eating people this evening, I made the bold, but for me, totally believable statement ..... “give me your favourite foods and I will convert them into a vegan meal that will satisfy your cravings without the need for a single animal to suffer in any way!”

Victory: KFC Canada Gives In to PETA's Demands

vaal...@hotmail.com (vaalea *) — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 23:36:11 UT

Yep, you read that right. KFC Canada has given in to our demands, and we wanted you to be the first to hear all about it. This would not have been possible without all your hard work with signing petitions, handing out leaflets and stickers, and boycotting the restaurant chain. We're now ending our Kentucky Fried Cruelty boycott in Canada. (The boycott will continue in other countries where KFC has restaurants, including the United States, until they follow KFC Canada's lead.)

interesting reply, encouraging but shows there is a lot of work to do and

Thanks, Vaalea....

A life brutually snuffed out for a few measly dollars....

This year it will be even less, because pelts of three to four week old "beaters" that make up 95% of the catch are selling for between $6 and $33.)
