Animal Awareness / Thanksgiving 11-02

Past Events

During the holiday season, far too many people celebrate with a traditional feast centered around a turkey. Many volunteers took part in an event in front of Baltimore's Inner Harbor to encourage people to instead choose a feast of compassion and health for this year's feast. A vegetarian meal is great for human health, the best choice for the environment, and obviously the most humane and compassionate choice for the animals.

Inner Harbor Thanksgiving Event Pictures - Friday, November 22

Many thanks go out to the 20 volunteers who showed up to make this event a great success! Part of the success of this event was the location. It was in a very visible part of Baltimore. Both roads of the intersection are one-way with 4-lanes each, so 8 lanes of heavy rush hour traffic faced us for the 2 hours that we were there. Plus, it's heavily trafficked by pedestrians so we were able to give out 500 vegan-packs and many trays full of vegan food samples and literature. The Inner Harbor employees were very friendly and also enjoyed our free samples.

If you're interested in the recipes that were included in the vegan-packs, they are on our web site. Thanks also goes out to PETA and Turtle Island Foods for their support of this event. Click here to see PETA's holiday vegan recipes.
