Photo by Karen Davis The Coalition of Animal Rights Enthusiasts has been trying to get the Glens Falls Collaborative to cancel the annual Wing Fest in Glens Falls, New York. United Poultry Concerns supports this goal. Today, there are more and more Vegan Fests popping up every year that attract thousands of attendees at a fun and healthy event. The Post Star writes about the issue in this article: Animal rights group calls to end Wing Fest On March 22, Matthew Collins from the Coalition of Animal Rights Enthusiasts wrote an open letter-to-the-editor asking organizers of the festival, Glens Falls Collaborative, calling for the complete cancellation of the annual event. In the article, Nancy Turner, the president of the collaborative, says they have tried to meet the coalition halfway and have been bringing out more diversified meal offerings for the last few years. One of the awards given out during the festival is even the “Best Non-Meat Wing” award. This award was created by the coalition, Collins said. The animal rights coalition sees the issue as a moral one that cannot be negotiated. “I know it’s small, just a canceled fest, but if we could take a moral stand, that would make the news. That would make an impact in our world to spread love and reduce suffering,” Collins said. What Can I Do? Please politely email Nancy Turner, president of the Glens Falls Collaborative, at [email protected] and urge her to stop celebrating dead wings. Encourage her to turn the event into something that is truly collaborative and positive for our earth and all it's inhabitants. Thank you!
