You are cordially invited to attend
United Poultry Concerns’ 8th Annual Conference
on the topic of |
“Cage Free, Animal Friendly, Go Vegan
-What’s the Problem?” |
|
Saturday, March 29 - Sunday, March 30, 2008
This conference asks: Is there a confliict between working for welfare reforms and urging
people to stop viewing animals as edibles and go vegan? Should activists work to reduce
the suffering of billions of chickens and other animals who will never live to see a vegan
world, or is such work counterproductive - a moral betrayal of animals? And what about
terms like "humane meat," "compassionate standards," and "victory"? - What message
do they send to the public? We invite you to join the discussion and hear what leaders
from within the animal advocacy movement have to say about these issues.
Early Registration: $80. After March 15: $95
To register, send check or money order to
UPC, PO Box 150, Machipongo, VA 23405.
