Students for Animal Rights
JOIN THIS GROUP
Organized by JennyPalmer on 11/1/2007
Location: Princeton, NJ 08544
This group is for anyone who objects to the way animals are currently treated or who wants to learn more about animal rights. Students for Animal Rights (StAR) is a new organization that serves as a resource and networking tool for college animal rights groups. StAR seeks to empower its member groups to make more powerful contributions to the animal rights movement. Animal suffering is not just a concern of tree-hugging, sign-waving hippies. As America’s future leaders, we recognize the value of animals’ lives. We object to the exploitation of billions of animals on today’s factory farms, in testing facilities, and in clothing production. We have come together to make the world understand that America’s top students find animal exploitation unacceptable. Through coordinated events, sharing ideas, and outreach to colleges that are just beginning to form animal rights groups, the members of StAR will do everything we can to fight for the day when animals' rights are respected.

Discussion: Take the Pledge!
 
 
 
   
 

On November 13, thousands of students are pledging to go vegetarian for College Veg Pledge 2007. The Veg Pledge is a one-day event happening at 34 colleges across the country. So far, over 1200 students have pledged to not eat meat. You can pledge too! Just sign the i-petition at http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/collegevegpledge/index.html. The purpose of this event is to give people an easy, non-commital way to try out vegetarianism. We think that going veg is easy, fun, and the best choice you can make for animals, for your health, and for the environment. We hope you'll join us!

What a great idea! I'm sorry I missed it. I didn't hear anything about it and I have lots of vegetarian and vegan friends. I think a lot of people would be willing to pledge and try it out if they knew about it.

That really is a great idea. I have been vegetarian for over a year now, and I was once one if the biggest meat eaters I know. It really isn't as hard as it may seem.

Great idea. I've been a vegetarian for almost 2 years now. It's the best decision I've ever made. Check out http://groups.myspace.com/vegfriend it's a small group so far, but I think everyone here would like it.

This is such a good idea, ive been wanting to go vegitarian for the longest time but i hoenslty cant give up bacon i love it so much. Its so hard to give up meat, i wish i had alot more will power. I agree though its alot more healthier and it reduces waste build up in landfills.
