"Only Zombies Eat Flesh" at the University of Texas! March 5, 2009

Written by Kelly Sloan, President of Students Against Cruelty to Animals at the University of Texas.

Thursday, March 20th, is Great American MeatOut Day, a day devoted to spreading awareness about the effects of meat consumption on animals, humans, and the environment. The University of Texas animal rights group, Student Against Cruelty to Animals, held a rally on campus where we passed out free vegan food while dressed up as zombies to go with their theme of "Only Zombies Eat Flesh"!


People passing by were able to stop at the table, sample some delicious vegan sloppy joes, "beef" jerky, veggie burgers, and sign a pledge to go meat-free for a day, week, or a lifetime! We also left the table with tons of stickers and informational pamphlets.


Overall we felt the rally was really effective. Many people liked the food and chose to go veg for the rest of the day or try it out for a week. The costumes caught a lot of attention as we called out "Only zombies eat flesh, try vegetarian" and many found it hard to resist our leaflets!

Crazy Flesh Eaters On The Loose! July 14, 2008

What's up with people who eat flesh? Do you know how strange it is to eat body parts? I mean, people eat ribs, wings, legs, breasts, butts, and all sorts of other stuff. You and your family members have most of those parts! It's so weird that people eat animals' bodies, don't you think?!

Some people apparently get a bit wacky in their quest for flesh and don't stop at the imaginary line between humans and non-human animals. And really, why should they? It's basically just as unethical to cause suffering to another person as it is to a non-human animal. We all want to live our lives in peace, right?

So having said that, there is this report that a lady in a meat market got into a fight with another woman and bit her finger off! Geez, talk about finger foods!

Then a separate story talks about how some dude at Burger King bit off another man's nose after they got into a fight! My guess is that it wasn't over the veggie burger, am I right?

Vegetarians and vegans are so much more kind. I mean, the last time I got into an argument, I think it was probably with Marta about some prank I must've pulled to mess with her computer. And although she may have yelled "Pulin!" in an annoyed tone of voice, I can guarantee you neither of us were throwing punches (or bites). The animal rights community is so pleasant.

Woof,
