The Turkey Stick-on Mission for the UK December 6, 2007
Posted by Pulin Modi at December 6, 2007 3:33 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 10 ) | TrackBack It's the night before Christmasand all through the house,
not a creature was stirring,
(especially not the millions of turkeys who are slaughtered each year).
-Martin from peta2 UK
Now I know that this doesn't necessarily work as well as the traditional version of the poem, but I am pretty sure it gets the message across of the mass slaughter that happens every year for Christmas. Most of the time when I walk around the local supermarket it makes me go whiter than frosty to see the rows and rows of carcasses stacked up on the shelves. Advertising has done a good job in taking people's minds away from what they are truly eating—the decomposing corpse of a small tortured bird. Wouldn't it be great if we had stickers to help educate people about this issue? Well, we do! And they are exclusively for UK members of the peta2 Street Team!
Out of the 35 million turkeys who are killed each year in the UK, 10 million are slaughtered for the Christmas holidays. That's a huge number of deaths for one festival that should be about caring for each other. Much like the demonic KFC, turkey farms treat animals as a tool to make money. The birds are crammed in barns of up to 20,000 with no light and conditions so bad some resort to cannibalism (something that does not occur in the wild).
But there is a way of reminding people what they are buying when they hand over their death money.
What we want you to do!
1) Fill out the form below to request your stickers (remember UK residents only)
2) Wait for the post to arrive—Royal Mail, what can you say!
3) Place stickers in legally appropriate places, (e.g. your parents’ turkey this Christmas)

Help Animals By Shopping! November 20, 2007
Posted by Lara Sanders at November 20, 2007 2:41 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 1 ) | TrackBackBlack Friday (a.k.a. the busiest shopping day of the year) is fast approaching. If you are like me and get shivers just thinking about going into a mall during the holiday season, then you are in luck!
This year, peta2 is making it easy for you to give the perfect gift from the safety of your home (away from the crowds, lines, and screaming children)! What is the perfect gift you say? The gift that helps animals of course!
Give a special gift to peta2 in the name of the person of your choice, to help peta2 get more oh-so-cute stickers into more people's hands! When you buy this gift, you get a peta2 holiday card (pictured below) to present to the lucky giftee, along with a peta2 sticker sheet to show them what their gift really is.
Even though it is fun to give, we also know that sometimes it is just fun to get too! So ask your family and friends to give a gift in you honor too!
There are several gifts to choose from including:
The "Go Vegetarian Gift", the "Peace for Animals Gift", the "Happy Dog or Happy Cat Gift", and the "Fur-Free Gift".
Happy shopping!

Yay! We finally got some new peta2 bumper stickers! As soon as they came in, I immediately put one on my car. I think it makes my VW Bug look even cuter (if that is even possible). What do you think?
My co-worker Dan also shared the same sticker excitement...
So I know it is a tough decision, but which one do you like better?

Report From Silverstein's "I Am Not a Nugget" Tour! October 17, 2007
Posted by Lara Sanders at October 17, 2007 10:26 AM | Permalink | Comments ( 2 ) | TrackBackWhoa dang! The Silverstein "I Am Not a Nugget" Tour has taken over the nation for a few weeks already, and I'm just now telling you about it? It's time for me to stop being lame, and time for you check out what's going down.
Let's start with a brief introduction of the peta2 crew. That's Paige on the far left with one wicked tattoo. In the middle chowin down is Ohio native Susan. And then there's...me. We're not Nuggets, and neither are you. Woot. Okay, now you're ready to peep at what we've been up to.
Folks are being sticker-fied at every stop on the tour. I'm serious—we're making sure you're all leaving with some loveable stickers. Even those that freak me out get stickers! True story.
Tasty food has been engulfed along the way, and I now claim Sidney's Cafe as one of my favorite places to eat (thanks to their French Toast).
Okay, it's time for me to get my munch on, but we will be seeing you soon! Check out the tour dates and win free tickets to come see us here!
