By now I'm sure you've learned that those of us here at peta2 love the following things:

-Helping animals
-Helping others to help animals
-Giving away free stuff
-Anything related to vegan food

And when we can do everything in one easy step, well that just makes us unbelievably happy. Thanksgiving is just two short weeks away, and we're giving you the chance to win some delicious veggie turkey breasts to share with your family. All you have to do is fill out this form letting your friends and family members know why you're choosing to leave the bird corpse off your plate this Thanksgiving. What better way to help animals than not eat them? There will be five lucky winners, and the deadline to enter is this Sunday, November 11, so get to it!

Now that Thanksgiving is on your brain, I want to share a tasty treat I stumbled across on the peta2 message boards around Thanksgiving last year that I made for my roommates. Everyone loved them, so give 'em a try!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

15 oz. cooked pumpkin (I used canned)
1/3 cup apple sauce
1 cup brown sugar
2 1/4 cups flour
4 TBL baking powder
2 tsp water
1/4 tsp nutmeg
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup vegan chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375. Mix everything, then scoop onto greased cookie sheet (I used vegetable oil) and bake for 13-15 minutes.

And who else is stoked to eat TONS of mashed potatoes and vegan gravy on Thanksgiving? It's not just me, right?!

Halloween in the UK October 29, 2007

Here's a special guest blog from Martin with peta2 UK.

It's Halloween Week.

Last weekend I thought I would try to get into the Halloween spirit and carve a pumpkin and bake some vegan cookies. I got in touch with my inner Goth and really busted out my artistic talents.


I have to admit that as I lack any kind of drawing skill I kind of cheated with the stencil but I think I did really well with my cutting talents and the message is right (yeah I know it should really be SUCKS but I ran out of room). As we know there is nothing more horrific than the way that KFC suppliers treat animals before they are to be slaughtered. Beheading, beatings, being scalded alive and electrocution are all parts of life for the animals that are kept captive for the Colonel.

Now for the cookies. They taste good but unfortunately they look like crap. I blame the icing, but I guess it could be my impatience.


HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Yo. Halloween is just days away. You've got your pumpkin. You've got your creativity. You've got a house full of knives (to be used carefully)! Put them together and carve a sweet pumpkin like Korynn did with this friendly chicken design which you may recognize from just about everywhere on the peta2 website! Know what I'm saying?

Make your own animal rights jack-o-lantern and send us photos to StreetTeam@peta2.com and we'll even give you 1000 Street Team points. It can be a slogan, a design, or whatever you think you can pull off as long as it's related to some animal rights issue.

P.S.- Did you know we have jobs and internships available?
