Happy International Hug a Vegetarian Day! Have you hugged all your friends yet?

In case you're a little hug-shy, I have compiled the top ten reasons you should hug your vegetarian friends today (and everyday)!

10. If it's true that you are what you eat then vegetarians are the only ones worth hugging—would you really want to hug rotting meat?

9. Gorgeous people like Davey Havok and Alyssa Milano are also meat-free.

8. Vegetarians get to wear the best clothes.

7. Because they're wearing a sign that says to!

6. Vegetarians don't support cruelty.

5. Vegetarians are super cute. (If you need proof, check out the peta2 staff.)

4. Vegetarians are really nice and they will hug you back (unless you are really creepy).

3. Vegetarians are doing their part to help the environment.

2. Vegetarians smell better than meat eaters! (I'm serious—check out this study.)

1. Vegetarians save more than 100 animals every year, just by not eating them!

Now that you're ready to go out and hug all the 20 million+ vegetarians, why don't you grab a "Hug a Vegetarian" shirt to wear while hugging? Better yet, why not enter to win one?

Comment below with your shirt size, your favorite of the designs below, AND the #1 reason you want to hug vegetarians today (be creative!), to be one of the two lucky winners!

Congratulations, Jessica Jagmin of Windsor, Ontario, Canada! You're the grand prize winner in peta2's Cafepress design contest!

Jessica's adorable "Vegetarians Keep the Beat Alive" design was chosen out of hundreds of submissions, which also included dissection, spaying-and-neutering, fur, wool, and KFC to name a few, to become peta2's newest tee shirt.


Isn't it the cutest? Perfect for spreading the word that animals are not food. Hopefully once these shirts hit the streets, even more people will be inspired to stop eating flesh.

Want to win one? Thought so, and it just so happens we've got one tee to give away so just comment below with your tee shirt size and what you think is great about being veg. Simple, huh?

This contest ends June 13, 2008 and the winner will be chosen and notified by June 20, 2008.

P.S. A lot of time and hard work went into each design and they were all wonderful, honest, so a huge "Thank you" to everyone who entered the contest. It was exciting to see just how many talented, compassionate people are out there. And picking the finalists really was very difficult; I wasn't lying.

Since there's only one winner, you should probably head on over to the peta2 Cafepress store and order your "Vegetarians Keep the Beat Alive" tee today, just to be on the safe side.

Easter Is No Time For Cruelty March 13, 2008

You know how people celebrate Easter by dying chickens' eggs all sorts of colors at home or school? Ok, first off that's just a little weird if you think about it. Are those supposed to be rabbit eggs anyway or what?

Second of all, it's cruel to the hens to be snatching and dying their eggs. Did you know that a large portion of each hen's beak is cut off with a burning-hot blade, and no painkillers are used? After enduring these mutilations, hens are shoved into tiny wire "battery" cages, which measure roughly 18 by 20 inches, with several other birds. Each egg laid requires more than a full day in these conditions, plus the hens are all eventually slaughtered for their flesh. Oh, and on top of that, there's no real use for males in the egg industry so millions of baby chicks are tossed into trash bags to suffocate or are thrown into grinders while still alive.

So yea. Totally not a cool thing to support ever, and especially not on Easter which is supposed to be a celebration of life. There's plenty else to eat or decorate.

That's why we want you to print out these flyers and hand them out at school ASAP. Easter is coming up and the more people who learn about the cruelty of the egg industry, the less animals will suffer. You can make a huge difference.

1) Print out these flyers.
2) Hand them out at school, church, home, or anywhere else you go.
3) Send a photo to StreetTeam@peta2.com
of you in action handing these flyers out. Or better yet, upload it here. Include a little note about where you handed them out, too. We love hearing from everyone on the Street Team.
4) The best reports will get featured on the blog and we'll even give one lucky person his or her choice of any shirt from our CafePress store!

Since this is technically a contest, we are supposed to make sure you're down with our privacy policy and terms and conditions. You have until March 24th to enter and we'll announce the winner that same day, too!
