One-Minute Mission: Brookstone Call-In! October 1, 2009

Posted by Pulin Modi at October 1, 2009 9:07 AM | Permalink | Comments ( 5 ) | TrackBack

Got one minute? Take part in our latest one-minute mission by making a polite phone call in behalf of animals by 4:30pm on Friday, October 2. Frogs dying for Brookstone's greed need your voice!

Call Brookstone at 603-577-8010 and ask to speak with CEO Philip Roizin. Politely tell him that you won't support a store that makes money off the suffering of animals by selling 'Frog-O-Spheres.' Imagine how you'd feel living your whole life crammed into a small container!

Despite stories and videos that shed light on Brookstone's shameful decision to sell frogs in tiny containers, the company's CEO keeps on hiding from the truth. Brookstone is profiting off cruelty, and that's just not acceptable. It's really that simple.


Call Brookstone at 603-577-8010 and make your voice heard. Better yet, get some of your friends and family to call too!

E-mail StreetTeam@peta2.com with a report on how your call went, and we'll give you 1,000 Street Team points!

Also, don't forget to get in touch if you're interested in handing out leaflets to put some pressure on Brookstone!

Thanks!

One Minute Mission: Why Do You Love peta2? September 21, 2009

Why do you love peta2? It could be Hug a Vegetarian Day, Nugget, seeing us on Warped Tour, or because Meet Your Meat changed your life. It could also be just because our stickers are so effing adorable—we know, that's probably it!

Anyway, if you're on Facebook, you might've noticed the new tagging feature for your status updates and you probably know what we're thinking—another easy way to let all of your friends know about peta2 and animal rights!

Your new peta2 Minute Mission is to tag peta2 in your Facebook status and let everyone know why you love peta2! Obviously, you want to work some animal rights magic into this by sharing a Hug a Vegetarian Day link if that's your reason, or giving your friends a bit of information about animals that they may not know. For example: I <3 @peta2.com because my body is not a graveyard!

Remember, when typing your status update, make sure to type the "@" symbol, and a box will pop up for you to find peta2.com in—it's easy, quick, and will get your friends talking about animal rights. Copy and paste your status update and send it to us at StreetTeam@peta2.com and we'll give you 500 points just for tagging peta2!

One Minute Mission: You vs. Ringling Bros. August 11, 2009

We know how much you all love the minute missions, and who wouldn't? They only take a minute, they help animals, and they earn you points in the process!

That's why we've got a brand-new minute mission for you! All you need to do is share the just-released undercover video that shows Ringling Bros. workers beating and whipping elephants and tigers. It's a great way to spread the word that there is nothing entertaining about the cruel ways animals in the circus are treated. Many people are changed forever after watching an undercover investigation (I definitely was). Challenge your friends and family to watch the video—I'll bet that they'll never want to visit the circus after seeing the footage!

Here are some ways you can help:

1) Embed the video on your MySpace page with the code below:
<embed src="http://www.petatv.com/swf/video.swf?v=RBBBC_2009_550_high" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="335" height="255" allowScriptAccess="always"></embed><br /><a href="http://www.ringlingbeatsanimals.com?c=rbec09">Visit RinglingBeatsAnimals.com</a>

If you haven't seen the video, please check it out below:

Visit RinglingBeatsAnimals.com

2) Download the video here and then upload it to your Facebook! Once it's downloaded, go to your status box, click the picture of the video camera, and follow the prompts. You can also upload it to your YouTube account!

Be sure to e-mail us at StreetTeam@peta2.com and let us know the reactions you got and please include a link to your page. You'll earn 500 points for each place that you shared the video!

For the animals,


Liz

Do you love watching YouTube videos? Are you a fairly busy person? Is helping animals your thing?

If you said yes to all three questions, then our one minute YouTube mission has your name written all over it, dude.

Here's all you gotta do:

• Sign into your YouTube account.
• Go to YouTube.com/peta2tv.
• Click on the "Subscribe" button near the top left side of the page.
• E-mail us at StreetTeam@peta2.com to let us know you did it!

It's that simple. Once we get the e-mail from you, we'll give you 500 Street Team points.

How exactly does this help animals? We update our YouTube with all of our latest videos, so once you subscribe, you'll be notified as soon as we add a new video—that means the latest band interviews, video compilations, undercover investigations, and random ridiculousness we come up with. You'll be in the know for all the latest we've got going on. Plus, the more popular we are with subscribers and rankings, the more people will see our videos and want to help animals.

So what are you waiting for? Since you're reading this blog right now, I know you've got one minute, so do it now!



P.S. If you haven't already, be sure to check out our one minute Facebook mission!
