Vegan Dogs in Atlanta?

2009-06-16T12:47:00.004-04:00

Hey vegan ATLiens! Is your dog vegan, or are you interested in your dog being vegan? Well, you may remember our blog post a few days ago about some customers of ours who have a full, unopened 8 lb. bag of Evolution kibble as well as a full jar of VegeDog that they need to find a home for. They are asking $30 for the whole lot, which is less than you can get these products at retail with shipping. However, if you are interested but are in a hardship situation, these folks are willing to take an offer for less $$. They just want the food to go to good use! If you are in the Atlanta area and are willing to pick up the food at the Cosmo's showroom location, please feel free to contact us.

Zoo Protest This Saturday

2009-06-15T17:44:00.002-04:00

This just in from GARP:

Please join us this Saturday, June 20, 2009 to speak up for the elephants at the Atlanta Zoo:

Atlanta, GA
Location: Zoo Atlanta
When: June 20, 2009, 11:30 am - 1:30 pm
Where: 800 Cherokee Ave, SE (Meet at main parking entrance on Cherokee, at Augusta).
Contact: Amy Ryan, ajillryan@yahoo.com
Comments: Signs and flyers will be provided

Why:
TOP 10 REASONS TO FIGHT FOR ELEPHANTS IN ZOOS

Elephants are suffering and dying prematurely in zoos. It is wrong and it must stop!

The truth is on the side of the elephants. The facts are on the side of the elephants. Science is on the side of the elephants.

Elephants are highly intelligent, sensitive and self-aware beings who deserve to live in dignity and freedom. For those already in captivity, we will fight to give them lives much closer to what nature intended. For those living in the wild, we will fight to give them greater protections and ensure their continued existence on this earth.

The zoo industry has built its case for elephant captivity on a very shaky foundation based on denial, distortions and the dismissal of scientific evidence. Ultimately, it will fall.

Public education is the key to victory for the elephants. The more people learn about elephants and how they suffer in zoos, the less they will tolerate seeing them on display, standing pathetically idle in small, impoverished zoo yards.

We are supported by world-recognized authorities in elephant field biology, Asian and African elephant conservation, and zoo management, design, and animal care who are speaking out for the elephants.

More and more scientific studies are documenting the devastating effects of zoo conditions on elephants – the tipping point on this issue is near!

Elected officials in our city and state governments are beginning to listen and take action on behalf of the elephants. There is great hope that civic leaders will eventually put elephant welfare over politics.

We are joined by a constellation of caring individuals from all walks of life – from Hollywood actors and celebrities to caring citizens and compassionate students.

Pro-elephant advocates are some of the most tenacious, caring and committed people around! We will not give up until there is justice for all elephants.
