Attend one of four campaign kick-off rallies across the state.

Kick-off rally, you ask? Yes! California animal protection groups are working to get an initiative on the November 2008 ballot. The measure would ban the cruel confinement of veal calves, egg-laying hens and breeding sows. The measure would phase out the use of battery cages for egg-laying hens, gestation crates for breeding sows and veal crates for calves.

In order for this initiative to qualify for the ballot, though, we need to collect 650,000 signatures in five short months!!

There will be four kick-off campaigns and signature gathering rallies in early October. Join the team and help fight farmed animal cruelty!

 

Guest speakers include Wayne Pacelle, CEO of HSUS & Gene Bauer, President of Farm Sanctuary.
