††† What Can We do to Eliminate Animal Cruelty? You can hold vegan Movie-Potlucks at your local theater or home and show things that move people. A great vegan documentary served with great vegan food does miracles :-) Then, if you have a passionate speaker to intro and outro with wit, compassion and pointed facts, letting anyone ask questions or pose challenges, you can win many people over. Public speaking on this topic is effective if done well :-) ~~~~What Titles Work well? COWSPIRACY: The Sustainability Secret youtube/watch?v=ZWJa--XL274 You could show a different video or presentation each week and enlist volunteers to get up on stage and hold the mic and woo the audience with facts and charm. Additional items for your Vegan Public Relations Arsenal: 1) A few Gary Yourofskys videos: ~~~Gary Yourofsky - youtube/watch?v=lLT4h7ZTK70 Interview with a Feisty Carnivore News Anchor. Gary insists our sensitive animal friends are suffering as Jews did in Auschwitz-like conception camps. The Feisty Jewish News Girl fumes but Gary persuades her. ~~~Israeli Interview - youtube/watch?v=v-giq2zjFmY Gary Yourofskys Israel Vegan speech is the most viewed in Israeli history. ~~~I asked a couple what turned them last night and they said: Forks Over Knives - forksoverknives/ 2) Giving out good books such as: eatinganimals/ amazon/Eating-Animals-Jonathan-Safran-Foer/dp/0316069884 I know people who turned after reading this. 2.5) Go here and order free pamphlets: veganoutreach.org/advocacy/resources.html Hand them out from a table at colleges and high schools or outside football games. Advertise on Craigslist for Animal Lovers to help you. Youll get lots of hits and probably change a few minds that way. Some even set up a little video station and pay people a dollar to watch it :-) Its just a gimmick that yields non-gimmicky results :-) 2.6) We can use Ray Comfort tactics to gather a crowd: youtube/watch?v=OWrxxPZQ4ms youtube/watch?v=uwKppr59piA youtube/watch?v=uIe0ewcq_0s He has all kinds of little quizzes. You could ask questions and offer prizes for answers: What Contributes the Most Damage to our Ozone? Are Animals or Factories a greater cause of theoretical Global Warming? Not everyones cup of tea but it gets the info out there and if you post it on Youtube, all the better :-) 3) Friend intelligent people who might open their hearts and minds. If I see something extraordinary on someones wall, I thank them by pasting this into a personal message: ††† Thank you Jane for bravely fighting and shining a light of compassion and JUSTICE for all animals great and small. ManOnTrial Then I hit the friend button. If they are fighting for human rights, I paste this: ††† Thank you Tom for adding your voice to the growing movement to BanIslamNOW bringing the final chapter of religious genocide to its long overdue end. Then I hit the friend button. I try to merge the passion for one set of victims to compassion for another furrier set. It often works. And of course, provocative posts written with love, wit, charm and compassion changes minds :-) 4) ALWAYS include a website with more information and a picture if your website doesnt have one. Ill help anyone with a website. Having one allows you to include what most moves you and everyone has a different voice to offer :-) You could always just paste Peta.org or your favorite site as well in your always attached SIGNATURE :-) 5) I lead Bible studies and a small house church. Im always sitting down with new people. I go out of my way to find those who might be empty, depressed and unfulfilled or too full of destructive things. I invite them to my home and we have some wonderful vegan food and then well read from the Bible which ignites deep questions about humanity, life and ethics. I insert loving kindness to animals along with all the commands to love people. My specialty is proving from Scripture that God and Jesus are in fact vegans. People rather quickly either turn vegan or at least feel the strong obligation :-)
