UPC Candlelight Vigil for Turkeys
|
|
Date: | Friday November 22, 2002
|
|
Time: | 7:30 - 9:00 P.M.
|
|
Where: | Foggy Bottom-GWU Metro Stop Corner of 23rd and Eye Street, NW, Washington, DC
|
|
Why: | Over forty million birds will be slaughtered inhumanely and
lived short horrific lives, and are not even thought of each
Thanksgiving, when the family carelessly gorges themselves on their
carcasses. Most of us used to be just like the majority of Americans
and we changed, so getting the word out is the only hope to prevent
future birds from being born into this system.
|
|
What: | Candles will be distributed, signs showing both the cruelty of
the poultry industry and the personalities of birds allowed to
display them will be held. Literature will be distributed and ample
opportunities will avail themselves for each of us to talk to others
about the horrible system that most people complicitly support.
|
|
Conclution: | There are numerous "gathering in" events each
Thanksgiving where we feel warm and comfortable with others of like
mind. This is one of the few "gathering out" events, where we make
that uncomfortable, but necessary leap to attempt to actually
convince the skeptical majority. Please hop the metro and show up
for the turkeys. If nothing else for your own mourning for all birds
and "food animals" that suffered and were slaughtered by mass
terrorists in the factory farming industry in 2002.
