Movie Night at Boneshakers: 2 Seconds

2008-12-04T20:15:14.000Z

Dec 6, 2008
2 Seconds “When champion mountain-bike racer (Charlotte Laurier) hesitates at the starting gate, she loses an important race and her place on the team but opens a new chapter in her life. Forced into retirement, she takes a job as a bike courier and meets an irritable cycle-shop owner and ex-racer (Dino Tavarone). Their mutual passion for the sport — and each other — gives her the momentum she needs to get back on track.” We will be watching this on: Friday @ 8:00 and Saturday @ 5:00 Don’t forget to BYOB.

What: Take Back The City Where: The Madison, 27 West 24th Street (between Fifth and Sixth Ave) When: January 14, 7pm - midnight Yetta Kurland's campaign is a top priority for LOHV-NYC, particularly as the seat is currently held by the animals' most powerful opponent in City government, Christine Quinn. Kurland is a long-time civil rights attorney and activist, a strong supporter of humane education in our schools, a vegetarian and an advocate of banning the carriage horses. Her election would be a powerful statement to the powers-that-be: we care about animals and we vote! More info: https://yettakurland.com/splash/tickets.html

SuperVegan at Pratt Institute's Green Week

2009-04-02T21:09:53.000Z

Mar 6, 2009
Think we're insufferable online? Wait til you meet us in person! We'll be tabling at Pratt Institute's third Annual Green Week, tomorrow, Friday April 3, 2009, from 11am to 6pm. If you're in the neighborhood, stop by and say hello. Pratt is in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. Probably best to enter the campus at Dekalb and Hall Street. (The directions section of Pratt's website is an unlinkable abomination, sorry). It's a really nice campus with a bunch of great outdoor sculptures and classy buildings. Unfortunately it will probably be too cold to bring our dunking booth to the fair. Patrick and Olivia are trying to talk me into us doing a kissing booth, but I'm not sure that's appropriate for our wholesome image. Pratt students are kinda hot, though... Patrick will also be representing the Humane Society of the United States. Other groups/vendors tabling include Red Jacket Orchards, Siggi's Skyr (boo!), Chewonthis.org, Bobolink Farms Dairy (boo!), the Nutbox, and Rick's Picks

Puppy Mills: The True Cost of That Doggie in the Window

2009-06-02T02:05:12.000Z

Jun 3, 2009
From the Bar: Where do pet stores get their puppies? What are puppy mills? How are dogs treated on these large scale dog-breeding farms? Learn about nationwide legislative efforts to stop the abuse and neglect of dogs that are part of the puppy mill industry. This program will explore the various problems linked to puppy mills, including the poor physical health and socialization problems of puppy mill puppies, the cruel treatment of the breeding females, and the link between puppy mills and the societal phenomenon of unwanted dogs. We will discuss the current legislation and also the current humane enforcement programs across the country and specifically address the status of puppy mill legislation and enforcement in New York. This program will also discuss the importance of a responsible breeder. When 4,000,000 dogs are euthanized every year in the U.S. (9,600 dogs per day), should we allow puppy mills to churn out ever-increasing numbers of puppies, with no regard for the suffering of the dogs, the costs to society, or anything other than their bottom line. This event is free. Register in advance.
