Thank you for participating in VegWeek
First, a big thank you to everyone who made VegWeek a smashing success! To the companies, organizations, and individuals who sponsored and endorsed the event, to the animal ambassadors and the sanctuaries they call home that reminded us all why it’s so crucial to be vegan, and most of all to the participants, thank you. VegWeek was successful because of you. We hope you found your vegan adventure fulfilling, and that you will make every week VegWeek. We have recipes and other resources available all year round at TryVeg.com. Keep up the great work!
Animal Liberation Now
Peter Singer book and tour
Peter Singer's Animal Liberation is a book often cited as the reason people become animal protection advocates. And now it's been updated. Animal Outlook's Executive Director Cheryl Leahy and Senior Director of Legal Advocacy Piper Hoffman provided information for the updated edition about the Twenty Eight Hour law and the horrors of animal transport. Animal Outlook has conducted three investigations into 28-hour law violations, in 2005, 2012, and 2021. Pre-order your copy of the new, updated book, Animal Liberation Now, and be sure to check out one of his tour dates, which can be found here.
