Defend Animals Call-in Day
Make your voice heard! On February 7, please call your members of Congress and urge them to OPPOSE these harmful bills. Phone calls are an easy and effective way to participate in our country’s legislative process and speak up for animals who can’t speak up for themselves.

3. Will do for sure. One of my kids became vegan years ago primarily because of animal cruelty. He's opened both

my wife's and my eyes/minds to the barbarism of animal agricultural practices. We've almost-vegans (haven't been able to give up cheese and eggs completely) for about a decade now as a result. Thanks for posting this here. I'll definitely view the apca link and make some calls tomorrow.
