10% Wool May 8, 2008
Jeff Corriveau, the genius behind DeFlocked, has created a brand-new strip for all you lovely blog readers, called 10% Wool. So instead of DeFlocked on the blog, get ready for lots of 10% Wool! Excited? Yep, so am I!
DeFlocked is now running in the comic pages of newspapers across North America, so be sure to e-mail the editor of your local paper to ask him/her to start printing it.
And now, I leave you with the very first 10% Wool:

Give It A Name
Here's a special guest blog from Martin with peta2 UK!
I am really excited about this news. peta2 UK will be at Give It a Name 08 at Earls Court this weekend! How could I not be jumping round the office? It means I get to see some of the best bands on the planet (who all support peta2) like Silverstein, Plain White T's, Billy Talent, Cobra Starship, Set Your Goals, Strike Anywhere, Anti-Flag, Mayday Parade and Meg and Dia. Check out the full line up:

If any of you guys are going then make sure you come by the peta2 UK table and say hi to me. If you're not going—why the hell not!!!
Peace
Martin
PS - To get a chance to table festivals and shows like this in the future, join the Street Team!

peta2 in South Africa! May 7, 2008
We love our jobs. We in peta2 have the distinct honor of corresponding with student groups every day to help them raise awareness about animal rights locally. As such, it takes a lot to impress us... but it happened today.
That's because we received an incredible report from the Rhodes Organisation for Animal Rights (ROAR), in SOUTH AFRICA (yes, that's how they spell "organization" in Africa).
Clearly somebody took the time to watch our "Tabling On Campus" video, since these students really know how to get people talking about animal rights!
And talk about being resourceful. We're always happy to send out free materials, like stickers, DVDs, and such, but given the costs to ship halfway around the world, this group was creative enough to download our stencils and make their own bags to give out!
The results speak for themselves:
- Their student group now consists of over 170 students!
- They see their "I Am Not a Nugget" bags being carried ALL over campus!
- They've held film screenings, and various other events on campus.
- They have started a clinic in their town to help animals who are forced to carry heavy loads around for their whole lives.
- Ryan!
