About Me

Myspace Layouts - Image Hosting - Forums

The purpose of this page is to create awareness to the Springfield community about different animal cruelty issues and to get people active for the cause. You don't have to be a vegetarian/vegan to support our work or to be involved but it would be nice lol. We just want to see people get off their ass and make a difference for the world. Caring for animals doesn't prevent a person from caring for other humans.
Our group does a variety of things. We leaflet throughout town, we organize demos against companies like KFC and events like the rodeo and the circus, we're selling T-shirts and collecting money for the APL, we table at local shows at venues like Blacksheep and Chrome, we're trying to raise enough funds to put PSA's and comercials on local TV and Radio stations eventually, we do clean up activites on Earth Day, we collect signatures for a variety of petitions and we have made chicken costume appearances at events with a large amount of people like the battle of the bands and the art festival in downtown Springfield where we handed out literature.
If you're a local band, please show your support and mention us on your page. Thank you.
