Warped Tour is starting to come to an end and we're still out here making friends and saving pigs in factory farms. You haven't seen this yet!?

Pigs are still trapped in gestation crates where they can't even turn around or be near their young, who they've been known to sing to. You can still help pigs by signing our petition against these cruelties.

This week I got to speak with BOTH vegan Tims from Ludo, who signed against these heinous abuses. Soooo badass.

And The Pinker Tones, Manso and Nino, signed against cruelty to pigs.




I'd also like to give props to our friends at TA DA! Catering, who have provided us with amazing meals all summer long, including rad treats like apple pie and homemade vegan apple crisp. I know, I know, it's hard to comprehend all at once, but imagine it heated up with some vanilla soy ice cream and then try to function!




More to come after our last week out here in WT land.

Stay Brutal,

Paige

In the world of Warped Tour, EVERYONE is coming together to help stop cruelty to pigs in factory farms. Phil from All that Remains, and Jason our vegan friend of Evergreen Terrace signed the peta2 petition to end horrible treatment like pigs having their throats slit while FULLY conscious.

Nick and Jake—the Brit boys from TAT—also signed to end tortures to pigs. Look for them in the fall with our old friends MXPX and Only Crime.




Haven't had the chance to sign yet? Not to worry. You can be hip and with it here. And in case you have a keen fashion sense like our pal Tim of Ludo you can get our exclusive Woof shirt online.


We also had some rad Street Teamers in Chicago come rock it out with us for one of our most successful days on tour! Check out Nikki, Jessica, and Sylvia:


Brutally Yours,

Pop quiz: Besides primates, who are the smartest animals?

Oh yea that's right—our friends, the PIGS.

They also dream, recognize their names, play video games more effectively than some primates, and lead social lives of a complexity that were first thought to only exist among primates. I don't know about you but I'd love to get down on some video games with a pig. Yet for some reason they are being tortured in factory farms. Lame.

This week in the land of Warped Tour, our new friend Tim F. of Ludo, signed our petition to help end cruelty to pigs in factory farms.

After some wicked 4 a.m. border crossings into Toronto, we had the amazing Shane of Silverstein, and a rad Street Teamer, Brendan, stop by to help us celebrate our victory with KFCs in Canada.




Remember—a vegan faux-chicken item has been added to the menu of all 461 Priszm-owned KFC restaurants (more than half of all the KFCs in Canada)!


These changes in the lives of defenseless animals are only possible because of YOU, when you sign the petitions, and join the Street Team.

Now let's get some love and respect for our brilliant pig friends!

Brutally Yours
