We at Animal Rights Online are looking forward to a very
special guest at our chat room on
Sunday, November 7th at 9pm EST.
As many of you might know, Howard Lyman was a guest on
the Oprah Winfrey show in 1997. That show, which featured discussion of
the possibility of an outbreak of mad cow disease in our country, led to
a lawsuit against Oprah and Howard by a group of Texas cattle ranchers.
Howard has gone from owning and operating a multimillion
dollar cattle ranch to being a major spokesman for the vegetarian
movement. He was a lobbyist in Washington for the National Farmers Union
during which time he helped pass the National Organic Standards Act. In
1982 he ran for Congress from the state of Montana, but unfortunately
lost by a narrow vote. He is the former Director of the Beyond Beef
Campaign & the Humane Society of the United States' "Eating With
Conscience" Campaign, past President of the International Vegetarian
Union and current President of the EarthSave International.
Since 1991, Howard has traveled approximately 100,000
miles a year, for the purpose of educating the public. He has appeared
on over one thousand radio shows, hundreds of television stations, and
has spoken to thousands of groups from small audiences to an assembly of
over twenty-five thousand people at the Earth Day celebration in
Oakland, California.
Howard is the author of the book "Mad Cowboy: Plain
Truth from the Cattle Rancher Who Won't Eat Meat." To hear a former
cattle rancher talk about the dangers of meat, the routine ways cattle
are treated, and the benefits of a vegan diet is an unforgettable
experience.
Make plans to join us on November 7th at 9pm EST for
this chat hosted by PrkStRangr, staff member of Animal Rights Online at
