TAGGED:
Last month, we highlighted the tremendous work of Speak Out for Species (S.O.S.) at the University of Georgia.
For the month of April though, we're swinging down into the Lone Star State, to shine the spotlight on Students Against Cruelty to Animals (SACA) at the University of Texas!
Just to give you an idea of some of the many things this rockin' student group has been up to recently, they have:
- Worked with peta2 to gather over 1,500 petition signatures from UT students against Petland, because the chain continues to sell dogs and cats from cruel mass-breeding facilities, even though nearly 4 million cats and dogs must be euthanized at shelters every year for lack of good homes.
- Protested regularly outside of KFC restaurants, fur stores, restaurants that sell foie gras, circuses, rodeos, and everyone else who dares abuse animals in Austin!
- Organized a colorful "Only Zombies Eat Flesh" event on campus, where they distributed free vegan sloppy Joes and delicious faux beef jerky, while covered in fake "blood", to the delight of hundreds of UT students!
In recognition of their efforts, peta2 will be sending the organization a framed "Star College Group" award, to proudly display on campus.
So from all us at peta2, to all of the students in SACA, thanks for all you do!
Leave your kudos for SACA below, and make sure to get in touch with us to organize similar events at your school!

Wow, great work to everyone in SACA. This is great stuff- I especially love the 'only zombies eat flesh' part. That's pure genius!! By far one of the best ideas.
Congrats to everyone and keep up the great work!
