The Berkeley Organization for Animal Advocacy is a group of UC Berkeley students and community members who lobby for animal-welfare related issues through monthly activities, discussions, and campaigns, covering topics ranging from animal agriculture and environmentalism to vegetarian cooking. BOAA challenges those industries that view animals as property, laborers, or beings that cannot suffer.
*The first BOAA meeting of the semester will be on this coming Tuesday, Feb.5 at 7:00 in 180 Barrows. There will be yummy vegan desserts, and tons of events to plan for this semester! Come check it out!
