latest from the Animal Rights Calendar

pat | 03.10.2009 01:16 | Animal Liberation

During the summer we have neglected the Veggies Animal Rights Calendar.

Apologies to those whose events have not been added in time (we really
need php programming assistance to automate the process)

We are half way through catching up with the backlog:
These events are happening in the next couple of weeks.

Protest at Houses of Parliament against mandatory vaccination and for

vaccination and conflict of interest. If you are a parent who doesn't
vaccinate, if you would like to choose which vaccines you have, if you
or a loved one are vaccine injured, please come along and show your
support outside the Houses of Parliament, Parliament Square Garden,
Westminster, at 12 noon on Saturday 3rd October 2009.

PETA Selfridges Foie Gras Demo
9:45 to 11:30

Come participate in a fun, one-of-a-kind demonstration on Saturday, 3
October, to urge Selfridges to stop selling foie gras. The
demonstration will take place outside Selfridges at 400 Oxford Street
at 11 am and last for 30 minutes. However, we will meet in a location
close to (but not in front of) Selfridges at 9:45 am sharp to talk
through the event. Our goal is to get 100 compassionate people out for
this eye-catching demonstration. Each participant will be given a duck
mask to represent the ducks and geese who are used to make the fois
gras sold at Selfridges. Some people will also hold signs, while
others will distribute leaflets. The demonstration will involve
chanting to urge Selfridges to drop foie gras to the tune of the
"Birdie Song" and doing the kind of dance you see in this video. A
person in a duck costume will lead the way.

It's important that you please RSVP to me by writing to
 RoseG@peta.org.uk with "Birdie" in the subject line of your e-mail.
The meeting location, dress code, lyrics of the chant, instructions on
the dance and other fun details will be sent (to people who RSVP)
closer to the date of the demonstration.

Brinsley Animal Rescue Street Collection
Starts 10:00

Brinsley Animal Rescue is a not for profit organisation dedicated to
caring for animals. Our primary mission is to relieve the suffering of
animals and birds. Many of the animals that come to us are simply
’surplus to requirements’ from the meat, dairy and egg industry.
Because such animals are deemed unprofitable then it is our aim to
take them on and find them loving homes in which they can enjoy the
retirement they deserve.

There will be a rare opportunity for a City-wide street collection on
Sunday 11th October, for which lots of help is requested. Contact
Nottingham Animal Rights for details at  nar@veggies.org.uk
