From pam.mayhew at gmail.com Mon Sep 4 15:21:39 2006 From: pam.mayhew at gmail.com (Pam Mayhew) Date: Mon, 4 Sep 2006 11:21:39 -0400 Subject: [4animals] Visit from Jon Camp, Vegan Outreach Message-ID: <2be9ae580609040821y4cfad2c3u85704790c2becccc@mail.gmail.com> Hello - Jon Camp, from Vegan Outreach www.veganoutreach.org, an organization which does outreach (animal focussed) through leafletting universities and other schools, will be arriving in Ottawa Wednesday, September 27, and leaving early Saturday, September 30. He needs a place to stay, assures me he is hyper-considerate of others and not at all needy. I had originally offered to host him, but work commitments now prevent me from doing that. If you can offer him a couch, please e-mail me at pam.mayhew at gmail.com. Also, I thought it would be a good idea for interested persons to meet up with Jon at a veggie restaurant either on Thursday or Friday. I know I've always struggled with the whole issue of often preaching to the converted, and wanted new ways of reaching people. Jon has a wealth of experience in reaching out to the general public which he'd love to share. Any interest in such a get together? One more thing - does anyone have any suggestions as to good places to leaflet at either of our universities? Anyone interested in leafletting with Jon? Thanks!

Message-ID: hey caroline!!! that's awesome that you are going to start an animal rights group in ottawa! i headed an AR group in edmonton a few years ago at the UofA and was wondering if there was something like that here in Ottawa (though I'm not really affiliated with the uni i think it is vitally important to have an AR group on campus and would LOVE to be involved... ie: lend some help with ideas for events/tabling/etc)... anyway, get in touch and, if you want some assistance, i would be super happy to help out! xo. kelly.

A-Channel gave us brief but positive coverage and CJOH acknowleged that exotic animal acts were a 'raging debate' and an issue that was not going away. I have also learned from ZOOCHECK CANADA that the Shrine Circus will no longer be using exotic cats. This is mainly due to pressure for animal rights from animal protection organizations and activists like you! Turning to factory farming, for those who haven't heard, Farm Sanctuary will be holding a WALKATHON for factory farmed animals on: Saturday October 7th on Parliament Hill. Hopefully many people will be able to attend this event and also spread the word to others. It takes place on a Saturday and they have allowed for lots of notice. For all the details on the event and how to start a pledge form, please refer to the OAA web site at: http://www.ottawa-animal-advocates.org under the EVENTS page. We are also hoping to get the input of anyone interested in participating in actions related to the upcoming fur season. As with past years, there will be several opportunities for fur protests as well as leafletting- possibly against the retail store Tristan and America again. I should know more details soon. Here are two possible meeting dates for a meeting to brainstorm ideas related to leafletting and media oriented protests for the upcoming fur season. Please let me know which date suits you best OR if either date is fine for you and we will try to accomodate the majority. The tentative dates for a meeting @ THE GREEN DOOR Restaurant, 198 Main Street are: 1) Tuesday October 3rd 2) Thursday October 5th (7:30pm for both dates) And please don't forget about the WALKATHON for factory farmed animals on October 7th, details as per above.

We are encouraging people to dress up in farm animal costumes; because Parliament Hill will not allow us to bring any animal on to the property. Once we finished with the distribution of DVD's and pamphlets through the market place we are planning a lunch at a near by vegetarian restaurant. There will be flyer that will be placed downtown to advertise the event. The final draft of these flyers will be created by the end of this weekend. I will forward the electronic copy of the flyers for all those who wish to part take in the hand out of these flyers. Any additional information that I may have missed will be finalized by the end of this weekend.

Please bring your ideas for a theatrical or attention-grabbing fur or seal hunt protest that could be worthy of media attention. With the fur issue it could pertain to dog/cat fur likely/possibly being imported to Canadian clothing eg. fur 'Made in China', fur trim and/or fur in general. We would also hope to go around the table and hear everyone's feedback on these or other animal rights related interests/ideas. ************************************************************************************************************************************** NEWS: The World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) has launched a campaign to gather 10 million signatures to bring animal welfare to the United Nations as a global concern. Please visit http://www.animalsmatter.org/ to ad your signature. Sea Shepherd reports an important victory for the anti-Canadian seal hunt cause. Of course it's hardly over yet but it's quite encouraging. http://www.hsus.org/marine_mammals/marine_mammals_news/eu_seal_ban.html for details. FARM SANCTUARY'S WALKATHON to Parliament Hill is on Saturday October 7th and they are seeking your support to show media that there IS concern about the factory farming issue. It should be a good time with many farm animal costumes and a very good opportuntity for public outreach http://www.ottawa-animal-advocates.org /EVENTS page for contacts and details. ******************************************************************************************************************************************** Volunteer Needed: A " Mystery Shopper" is needed to determine which stores in the Rideau Centre are selling animal fur garments/accessories. So far I have seen much less real fur in stores in the suburbs but I'm not sure about downtown so it would be very helpful if someone who lives closer to downtown, goes to school downtown or who frequents the Rideau Centre, could give a head's up on which stores have the fur. The volunteer would need to be thorough in making sure that fur is real and whether any labels on fur garments are labeled "Made in China". Please let me know asap if you can be the mystery shopper. We would need to know which stores are selling real animal fur before the meeting on October 5th. Bye for Now, Victoria -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
