EarthSave presents, Live & Uncensored, Plain Truth the Cattle Rancher who Won't Eat Meat

Howard Lyman's coming to town on Saturday, August 21. Howard is the 4th-generation farmer-rancher-feedlot operator turned vegan. He was the impetus for the Texas Cattleman's Association lawsuit against he & Oprah Winfrey for openly discussing mad-cow disease as a direct result of the common practice of feeding cows to other cows, endorsed by the USDA.

Come hear his heartfelt, honest and sometimes humorous account of the industry's practices and his own life's experiences which transformed him into one of the most powerful spokespeople for environmental justice in the nation today. I encourage you learn more about him by visiting
<http://www.madcowboy.com>.

He will speak at the Baltimore School of Massage, 6401 Dogwood Rd. in Woodlawn, MD (5 minutes from Rt. 695, the Baltimore beltway). Call Don Robertson, Chairman of EarthSave, at (410) 252-3043 for more information, including the monthly vegan potluck/lecture series.

EarthSave Baltimore is an all-volunteer non-profit group that promotes personal and planetary health by educating and inspiring people to shift toward plant-centered food choices. Fruits, vegetables, grains & legumes (The Four New Food Groups per PCRM) are healthy foods for a healthy planet.

Farm Sanctuary Country Hoe-Down

Farm Sanctuary is a beautiful haven for rescued farm animals from a variety of abusive situations, such as feedlots, slaughterhouses and factory farms. It was co-founded by Gene and Lori Bauston in approximately 1984, who were pioneers in the field of animal rescue and rehabilitation, then providing homes for these victims of agribusiness, where they freely roam the pastures to their hearts' content. The farm is nestled in the mountains of upstate New York in Watkins Glen, approximately 6 hours north of NY City.

The Country Hoe-Down will be held on the weekend of August 7-8 (Saturday & Sunday). From the Farm Sanctuary News: "It's a hoot! A weekend of educational workshops, shelter tours & hayrides, noted animal rights speakers, barn dancing, great food & good times at our picturesque farm in upstate New York."

Special guest speakers include:
* George Eisman, registered vegan dietitian (instrumental in persuading the American Dietetic Association to support a vegan diet)
* Jim Mason, noted author of Animal Factories and "An Unnatural Order, and journalist and attorney by profession
* Wayne Pacelle, Sr. Vice President of Communications & Government Affairs, HSUS
* Heidi Prescott, National Director, Fund for Animals
* David Wolfson, Esq., author of Beyond the Law.

The fee is $50 per person, including Sat. and Sun. lunch, Sat. dinner & Sat. night barn dance with complimentary party drinks & food. Free rustic camping available on the farm & hotel accommodations just a 15-minute drive from the shelter.
