1. Activist Report
Leafleting at Christian
Rock Fest at Six Flags over Georgia, Julie and DC write: We handed out a
box and a half of the booklets at the Christian rock festival and they
were very well received. We wore our T-shirts and people were friendly.
We are excited about bringing the message of veganism to Christians and
would like to participate in future events. We have a half a box of
booklets left and plan to hand them out next Sunday morning when people
are leaving church. Please keep us informed of future events.
Leafleting at Women of Faith in Cleveland,
Jen writes: Leafleting at the Women
of Faith Conference went really well! I passed out 2 boxes of CVA
leaflets.

Purely Delicious Magazine – CVA Ad
The CVA has a beautiful
ad in Purely Delicious, a very attractive magazine that encourages raw
vegan eating. It has lots of recipes and tips of eating raw in and out
of the house.
4. Oregon Law Bans Use of Gestation
Crates for Sows
While Arizona and
Florida have passed similar laws by public referendums, on June 28
Oregon became the first state to pass such a law through representative
government. Farmers will have until 2013 to eliminate the 2 foot by 7
foot stalls that confine breeding sows during gestation.
In the U.S. Congress,
Oregon Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-4) has introduced a similar bill to stop
inhumane treatment of farm animals: H.R. 1726, the Farm Animal
Stewardship Purchasing Act, which would require meat, dairy, and egg
products purchased for federal programs to meet a basic set of animal
welfare standards, including not confining breeding pigs in gestation
crates.

HSUS Encourages Amazon.com Boycott
Rev. Deborah Baxter in
Buffalo, NY writes: I thought you might be interested in this HSUS
(Humane Society of the United States) campaign to stop Amazon.com's
sales of illegal animal fighting materials.
Amazon sells both cockfighting magazines and
bloody, graphic dog-fighting DVDs. The company is so
determined to continue selling these materials that it filed a motion
against The HSUS in federal court, essentially asking that federal and
state laws to protect animals be gutted to accommodate Amazon's sales of
animal fighting paraphernalia!
Please ask Amazon to remove these materials from its website. Here is a
link for more information:
