Yesterday (Sunday 14th July) a crew of Veggies volunteers packed up the van and headed to Leeds to cater at Hope Pastures animal sanctuary's event, a fun day for dogs. It was a sunny day, volunteers and visitors were in high spirits, and the sanctuary's event was well-attended by people and their four-legged companions. Veggies had a great spot by the entrance so everyone coming into the event saw the stall on their way past. Vegetarian and vegan visitors were thrilled to find Veggies catering, rather than the usual meat options at the event, and talked about how great it was to have some choice about what to eat! Recipes and information leaflets were also given out on the animal rights outreach stall that volunteers had taken along.   A couple meat-eaters were surprised to see us there and asked where the meat was being sold, however weren't opposed to the idea of eating veggie food. One man said, "But I'm a meat-eater!", to which a friendly Veggies volunteer replied, "Meat-eaters can eat vegetarian food as well, you know." After a pause for contemplation he then ordered a Veggie burger. As Veggies burgers are delicious this can't have failed to be a good spot of outreach.On the day, free vegan milk sampling was also done for visitors. Rice, almond, soya, coconut and oat milk was given out and got a great response. Some people even tried every one! The flavoured coconut milks were very popular with the younger visitors. Overall it was a great opportunity for vegan and animal rights outreach at an event that usually has meat caterers and it was great to be invited.   It was also heartening to see a variety of other campaigning stalls at the event and other vegan products! There was a stall selling vegan ice cream, a local lady running a stall on behalf of Dr. Hadwen's Trust for humane research, and another lady with lots of Vegetarian Society literature. A representative from Hope Pastures asked if Veggies might consider catering at their future open days so watch this space, Veggies might be back visiting again soon!
