A meme recently shared on our Facebook page perhaps says it all. Above, it reads, “The Best Way to Have Pig for Dinner,” and below you see the image of a smiling pig sitting at the table alongside a human being, both enjoying a candlelit meal. While the cartoon image is perhaps a little over-the-top, the sentiment is not. We are all compassionate beings. None of us wants to see an animal hurt or abused. Wouldn’t we all rather see joy on a pig’s face instead of pain and suffering?
At Compassionate Action for Animals, we strive to see that justice is extended to all sentient creatures. That’s our vision for the world, and all of our events and activities throughout the year are designed to support this mission.
In case you haven’t heard, our most recent Twin Cities Veg Fest was truly amazing. Our latest issue of the Compassionate Times takes a look at the festival, our biggest annual event, reflecting on where it’s been, where it’s at, and where it’s going.
We’ve also recently published our research findings on the extensive survey that we conducted soon after the 2014 Twin Cities Veg Fest. How effective is the festival for animal advocacy? Though the survey was limited in how well it could answer this question, this study marks the beginning of our efforts to more comprehensively investigate how we are fulfilling our mission.
We thank you for supporting Twin Cities Veg Fest and all that we do at CAA for the animals. Please continue your support and make a year-end donation today. All gifts, no matter how big or small, will help us to climb closer to our goal of $7,500 by December 31. And your contribution will be tripled with a 2-for-1 match, thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor. Please help us cultivate a kinder world in which there there’s only one way to have a pig for dinner: as a most welcome guest!
For the animals,
Unny Nambudiripad
