The Humane League of Philadelphia E-Newsletter Supper Restaurant Goes Foie Gras-Free! A hearty thank-you to Supper Restaurant (926 South St) which has gone foie gras-free, joining the ranks of dozens of top Philly restaurants that are no longer serving this cruel dish! As a thank you to Supper for their compassionate decision, please consider making them your next dinner destination! Supper features many vegetarian selections, as well as a number of dishes that can be made vegan upon request, and is conveniently located on South St. across from Whole Foods Market. Supper’s Warm Vegetable Salad is featured in this month’s Philadelphia Magazine, and Chef/Owner Mitch Prensky informed the Humane League that “As a chef I am very inspired by vegetables and the flavors and natural beauty of these items…I hope to see you soon!” Thank you to Supper for their compassionate decision, and please patronize Supper to thank them for no longer supporting the cruel foie gras industry!

After the great success of VegPA.net (which launched earlier this year to major press coverage, and has approximately 200 visitors per week), HLP teamed up with the New Jersey Animal Rights Alliances and of course our friends at Mercy for Animals and is now proud to announce the launch of VegNJ.com ! Featuring nearly 400 restaurants, grocery stores, bakeries, bars and caterers, this website is a must-see for anyone who lives in or visits New Jersey! Like VegPA.net, the site is easy to search by city or region, and contains helpful info like menu offerings, hours of operation, and directions to each location. So log on today, and please share this site with any friends, family, or co-workers that live in New Jersey! http://www.VegNJ.com Campaign Updates Thanks to the help of many, this past weekend HLP was busy spreading the word against animal cruelty. Our First Friday veg outreach went well, with 1,050 veg leaflets distributed in Center City, including to teachers and others who asked for handfuls to pass out to their classes or friends. On Saturday, a dozen volunteers joined us for hard-hitting foie gras demos against Jake’s Restaurant in Manayunk for their sale of foie gras, as well as a second demonstration against Valanni Restaurant. On Sunday, several volunteers joined us for outreach at the Gay Pride Parade (with a vegan food table set up by MFA and CARE) and Odunde Festivals, with over 2,000 veg leaflets distributed. (Above: Philadelphia 76ers center Samuel Dalembert joins a HLP picketer outside of Jake’s Restaurant in Manayunk to say NO! to foie gras) Animal-Friendly Media: Vegan Treats on “Good Day”! Fox-29’s “Good Day Philadelphia” program featured a fantastic and lengthy piece last week on Vegan Treats bakery, the rockstars and movie stars who can’t get enough, and ways that anyone can switch to dairy- and egg-free desserts! This is a great, very positive piece, and you can watch it here: http://tinyurl.com/57muum Also in animal-friendly media, the latest edition of VegCast (the Philadelphia-based vegetarian podcast) features in an interview with Maria Pandolfi of Philly’s Rat Chick Rat Rescue, as she discusses this weekend’s Fab Rat Festival!
