The Eugene Veg Education Network (EVEN) has been celebrating the Great American MeatOut and honoring compassion to factory- farmed animals since 2005 with tabling, pamphleting, information booths, dineouts, presentations and various other outreach activities. Compassion Over Killing’s MeatOut campaign empowers people around the world to turn over a new leaf on March 20, the first day of Spring, by pledging to explore the many benefits of plant-based eating, for our health, the environment, and animals. MeatOut was first launched in 1985 to promote a national — and increasingly international — conversation questioning consumption of animal products, and in 2018 Compassion Over Killing proudly took on this tradition and tied the online VegPledge into VegWeek. Last year, the campaign empowered activists to host grassroots events in cities across the globe and prompted official government proclamations of March 20 as “MeatOut Day,” including in the nation’s capital, Washington, DC. Cities like Syracuse and Ithaca, NY also hosted MeatOut events to coincide with their proclamations. Over the past 30+ years, MeatOut has spread to two dozen countries, including Germany, France, Spain, Croatia, and Israel. Celebrity supporters have included Doris Day, Bob Barker, Casey Kasem, Ed Asner, James Cromwell, Chrissie Hynde, Bill Maher, Mary Tyler Moore, Joaquin Phoenix, Alicia Silverstone, and more. Now it’s your turn to get involved. You can multiply your impact for animals right in your community! Here are some simple activities you can do for MeatOut (and all year long): • Take the VegPledge and encourage others to pledge by sharing meatout.org • Ask local officials to endorse MeatOut through proclamations • Distribute vegan food samples and literature at local events • Register your own vegan event • Spread the word with a MeatOut banner, poster, or social media meme (be sure to use the hashtags #meatout and #meatout2019) • Encourage local restaurants to feature vegan options • Request media interviews to encourage vegan eating For more information and to get started, please visit meatout.org.

Activists confront Japanese over whale kill 18 February 2013 "Is this Australian territory or not? If it is, then come down and exert some kind of authority," Hansen said. "In the past there were Patagonian toothfish operators down there, illegal poachers from Uruguay, the Customs vessel chased them all over the Southern Ocean, arrested them and confiscated their vessel." Japan's whaling research ship the Nisshin Maru is pictured on December 28, 2012 leaving Innoshima island in Hiroshima prefecture for Southern Japan. Militant environmentalists Monday accused Japanese whalers of attempting to crash into their ship as they tried to prevent harpoonists from hauling a slaughtered whale on board.

The Sexual Politics of Meat by Carol J. Adams
THE SEXUAL POLITICS OF MEAT A FEMINISTVEGETARIAN CRITICAL THEORY Praise for The Sexual Politics of Meat and Carol J. Adams “A clearheaded scholar joins the ideas of two movements—vegetari- anism and feminism—and turns them into a single coherent and moral theory. Her argument is rational and persuasive. New ground—whole acres of it—is broken by Adams.” —Colman McCarthy, Washington Post Book World “Th e Sexual Politics of Meat examines the historical, gender, race, and class implications of meat culture, and makes the links between the prac tice of butchering/eating animals and the maintenance of male domi nance. Read this powerful new book and you may well become a vegetarian.” —Ms. “Adams’s work will almost surely become a ‘bible’ for feminist and pro gressive animal rights activists. Depiction of animal exploita- tion as one manifestation of a brutal patriarchal culture has been explored in two [of her] books, Th e Sexual Politics of Meat and Neither Man nor Beast: Feminism and the Defense of Animals. Adams argues that factory farming is part of a whole culture of oppression and insti- tutionalized violence. Th e treatment of animals as objects is parallel to and associated with patriarchal society’s objectiﬁ cation of women, blacks, and other minorities in order to routinely exploit them. Adams excels in constructing unexpected juxtapositions by using the language of one kind of relationship to illuminate another. Employing poetic rather than rhetorical techniques, Adams makes powerful connec- tions that encourage readers to draw their own conclusions.” —Choice “A dynamic contribution toward creating a feminist/animal rights theory.” —Animals’ Agenda “A cohesive, passionate case linking meat-eating to the oppression of animals and women .
