The Gloucester County Times and NJ.com published a fantastic article on the Humane League’s new VegNJ.com site and the grown of vegetarian eating. ”Beef: It's what (used to be) for dinner.

The university contacted The Humane League of Philadelphia to help re-home lab rats that they otherwise would have had to euthanize.” You can read the full article here: http://tinyurl.com/4aaykl Veg Outreach at Fourth of July Festival, Plus IMPORTANT Foie Gras Demos and more Please join us for veg leafleting at the Fourth of July festival on the Ben Franklin Parkway this Friday!
