joelbct Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I am not trying to brag, but to remind and encourage people. I for one can become complacent and forget how much my needs are more than provided for already, and how much the animals need our help. Who else has donated to animal rights organizations recently or in the past year, or helped in other ways above and beyond being vegan, by protesting, volunteering, etc?

michaelhobson Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I gave $30 per month to the International Scociety for Cow Protection last year. http://www.iscowp.org I know the people who run the farm. They are very cool and do not take any of the donated money for themselves, even though they work 24/7 taking care of the cows and oxen. They work off the farm for a couple of months per year to collect enough money to support their simple lifestyle. I have been slacking in 2006, but I'm planning to get it together for 2007 and start donating again. http://www.iscowp.org/photogallery/photo2502/Gita%20and%20herd.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I went to viva.org.uk and had them send me a pack of leaflets so I can distribute them in the neighbourhood. I think they are information on animal abuse / information on 'how' to go veg*n. It's pretty cool, they send the leaflets for free, I think they are sending 100 for free.

Odidnetne Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 At a much lesser level, I speak often and spend money on vegan alternatives to food for other people to try, I think it helps, especially with things like almond milk after you inform someone what kind of horrors are in that glass of cow's milk.

Kathryn Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I signed up for a payroll deduction donation so I give $20 a month to 5 different animal organizations. I also get my checks through Messagechecks.com , and I chose the Peta message check, so PETA gets a small percentage of the profits from my order.I also volunteer at my local animal shelter, visiting the adult cats there 1-3 times a week,. as my schedule allows.

And my toys for tots mt bike ride is coming up soon, which I can't wait for. Just hope it snows first - that always makes it more festive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
