In the US, we generally mark the end of summer with Labor Day weekend. So considering it's back to school and all that, I wanted to let you know some highlights from the peta2 and peta2 UK staff. I would love to hear what you enjoyed the most about the summer.
Two highlights from my summer: getting to spend time with my sister at PETA (I mention this a lot, don't I?), and wearing a skeleton costume to protest Donna Karan!

The best thing that happened this summer was meeting all you guys at Glastonbury Festival, T in the Park, Get Loaded in the Park, Rip Curl Boardmasters, NASS, VFest and Give it a Name. Also seeing Seasick Steve at Glastonbury made it for me.

This might seem like a small thing, but it made me so happy: Convincing my six-year-old niece (whom I adore to no end) to try vegan chicken on our family vacation. She loved it, wanted more, and even shouted "I LOVE VEGETARIAN MEAT!!!!!!!" Adorable, right?
-Marta
This was a great summer for me! I got to give KFC "the bird" in Egypt! And, I got to see my favorite band, Radiohead (complete with veg lead singer, Thom Yorke performing live in the middle of a thunderstorm!) It was madness! Madness, I say!
-Ryan
My highlight this summer was visiting an animal sanctuary. I finally got to kiss a pig, and one of them even nuzzled up to me! It was a dream come true—literally. Okay, so maybe it wasn't exactly in the summer—it was in May, but it's pretty much the highlight of my life, so there. A real summer highlight? Getting to sweat it out and meet some of you guys at Warped Tour and Mayhem Festival this year—and seeing huge tough guys sign our petition to help pigs, definitely.
-Rachel
So what was the highlight (or highlights) of your summer, everyone? I had so many that I just wrote my own blog about it here. Here's your chance to brag, though.
