2. CVA Activism

Regarding the second day of leafleting at Women of Faith in St. Louis, Rick writes: Today I had to deal with a hostile Scottrade security guard who insisted that I was on their private property and demanded that I go stand on the other side of the street. I informed him that I was on the public sidewalk, that I was not going to leave, and that he could not tell me what to do on public property. He became increasingly aggressive in an unsuccessful attempt to intimidate me, standing quite close while loudly yelling in my face “You are going to go stand across the street!” and “You have been a pain in the ass all day.” I replied that was odd since I’d only been there for an hour and a half and told him to go back in the building and do his job. He said that it was his job to give people a hard time. Once he realized after repeated efforts that he was not intimidating me, he threatened to call the police. I replied to go ahead and call them and he could explain to them why he felt that I shouldn’t be on public property. “Better yet,” I said, “I’ll call them for you” as I took out my cell phone to call. At that point he walked away.

3. Vegan Relationship Survey

This survey is being conducted by M. Butterflies Katz, who has published several popular articles on vegan subjects, including ‘vegan companies’, ‘vegan-organic gardening’ and ‘feeding your pets vegan’.

The results of the survey will be used to research an article that will be published on-line and in magazines.

Respondents can answer anonymously if they choose. Feel free to circulate this questionnaire to other vegans.

Click on the following link. It is easy and quick (5-10 minutes) and will be sent directly to Ms. Katz. She thanks you for your participation.
