UPCOMING EVENTS:
RODEO CRUELTY'S ANNUAL SHINDIG IS BACK!
 
Another year & another star-studded lineup is set to promote animal abuse at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo (www.hlsr.com).

Calf roping, steer wrestling, bull riding, and other animal abuse are primitive and wrong. They have no place in a modern, civilized, and compassionate society.

Injuries to animals, such as deep internal organ bruising, hemorrhaging, bone fractures, ripped tendons, and torn ligaments and muscles, are all expected and anticipated in this violent tradition.
 
Please join Houston activists in expressing opposition to this annual celebration of torture.  We will hand out leaflets at the intersection of Westridge & Kirby on:
 
Friday, March 6th, 5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. (Black Heritage Day)
Sunday, March 8th,  2 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. (Jonas Brothers Concert)
 
 
Contact Alma at 713-734-0820 if you would like to get involved.

PAST EVENTS:
 
 
Fur-Free Friday Protest
November 28th, 1 p.m. - 3 p.m.
 
Neiman Marcus-Galleria
(Post Oak entrance between Westheimer & W. Alabama)
 
 
 
TAKE ACTION FOR ANIMALS!
NOVEMBER 28, 2008 IS FUR FREE FRIDAY
 
The start of the holiday shopping season is also the start of the fur-free season. Animal advocates across the country will spread the word about the animal suffering behind fur and fur trim, and encourage shoppers to make humane choices.
 
Your reminder to consumers that animals need their fur more than we do will help reduce the numbers of animals suffering and dying for fur!
 
Please come out & join with Houston Animal Rights Team, Society of PEACE, Vegan World Radio, & In Solidarity With Animals members in protesting the use of fur by humans.  We'll be targeting Neiman Carcass (Marcus) again for their refusal to take fur products off of their racks.
 
Feel free to bring your own poster & leaflets or use ours.
