This past weekend was the peta2 National Conference in New York City, and boy did we rock the Big Apple!

Attendees enjoyed talks and discussion panels on a variety of topics, including "how to answer the tough questions" and "how to help animals online", plus a visit from our special guest, MTV icon John Norris!

For many people though, the highlight came at the end of the day, when we headed to midtown Manhattan for a "zombie" protest against KFC!





Of course, what kind of peta2 event would it be if we didn't end with a nice one-fingered salute to "The Colonel"? Getting the message yet, KFC?


Yep, all in all, it was a pretty amazing trip! The visit also inspired me to want to start a New York-specific campaign called "KFC? Fuhgetaboutit". :)

Don't forget though, we still have a conference coming to the West Coast in less than 2 weeks! Will those crazy Californians and their neighbors show up the East Coast kids? Only time will tell! To book your space, click here.

See you soon!

"Nugget" Hits New York! September 20, 2007

It's always important to balance out the serious issues animals face these days with some upbeat and fun activities as well.

Case in point: my recent visit to Hofstra University in NY. We were originally there to display our brand new "Liberation Project" exhibit, which shows the similarities between previous human oppression, such as slavery and child labor, with the current exploitations of animals. Important stuff for sure, but not exactly a mood lifter...

Of course, we can only go so long talking about something so serious before we break out the costumes and have a little fun! Armed with our oversized chicken costume and a limitless supply of free stickers, I give you, the "Nugget" on campus!
