Vol. 4, No. 1 - Spring 2005

Outreach 2005

During 2005 Stop Animal Exploitation NOW! staff will take part in two major conferences that will inform, educate, and train activists within the animal rights movement.

The Vegetarian Summerfest takes place in Johnstown, PA from June 29th – July 3rd. This conference brings together hundreds of people who are interested in vegetarianism for five days of workshops on health, cooking, and animal & environmental issues. SAEN staff will participate in two presentations - Using the Internet to Get Our Message Out and The Facts About Animal Experimentation.

The Animal Rights 2005 (AR2005) conference is in Los Angeles and runs from July 7th – 11th. SAEN staff will help to present six workshops and panels at the conference. They include: Abuse of Animals in Laboratories (an introduction to the issue using videos), Effective Research (how to investigate animal abuse issues), Abusing Our Cousins (non-human primate issues), Research Campaigns (reports on anti-animal research projects), Effective Tactics for Research Campaigns (how to fight animal experimentation), and Animal Welfare Act (current issues involving enforcement of the AWA). On July 11th, SAEN is also organizing a post-conference protest against UCLA’s animal experimentation with the help of several other groups, including Last Chance for Animals and Orange County People for Animals.

Our goal in attending these conferences is to further educate activists across the U.S. about the criminal abuse that is an integral part of every animal experiment. We also hope to train individual activists to better target and expose animal laboratories in their areas. Additionally, we hope to be able to network with activists to promote wider participation in SAEN campaigns.

We hope to see many SAEN supporters at these conferences. If you plan to attend either of these events, we hope to see you at our presentations. Also, please stop by the Stop Animal Exploitation NOW! table and say hello.
