TAGGED: Halloween college tour McCruelty Garden of Eatin'

Hey there peta2 guys and gals!

Renee here on the K.O.D. Tech N9ne tour. We've been working our way down through the central plains over to Texas. We had a great time this Halloween in Wichita, KS, at The Cotillion. Rob and his new friends are definitely down with the wicked clown!

We then headed over to the historic Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa, OK.

Throughout the tour we've gained a lot of support against the way McDonald's suppliers torture and slaughter billions of chickens each year.

Keep it real and keep helping animals!

The winning streak continues for peta2 college outreach. This is Daniel reporting in from Oxford, Mississippi, home of the Ole Miss Rebels. Considering that northern Mississippi is relatively uncharted terrain for animal rights outreach, we've been surprised by the overwhelmingly positive response to our campaign to introduce more vegan options in the Ole Miss dining halls. But I guess we were fools to expect any other reaction from people here—this part of the country is well known for 'southern hospitality.'

Our time in Miami at Florida International University last week was also a great success. The student body there was very fond of our McCruelty petition. More than 2,000 students stood up to make a statement against what happens to chickens in American slaughterhouses.

It was a long ride to Mississippi from southern Florida, so we had to prepare ourselves properly. First we had to stop in to fuel up at our favorite Miami-area vegan restaurant, Garden Eat'in, which serves some of the best Jamaican vegan food we've ever had (Jamiacan jerk fish, curry and coconut pumpkin, 5 spice tofu, and more!).

Then we took a nice dip in the warm turquoise waters of Hallandale Beach. As always, we're livin' large and helping animals on the road. We hope you had a fun and animal-friendly Halloween!

Hey kids! This is Joey reporting from California to let you know about our Halloween. We worked at the Halos and Horns show in Costa Mesa, CA, to inform the event's attendees about McCruelty. We got a lot of support from the crowd, and they definitely loved the creepy masks we brought along with us.
