INTRO letter to Shelters:
Food for Thought is a program of Animal Place designed to help
organizations like yours adopt an animal-friendly menu policy for their
sponsored events.
In addition to dogs and cats, your shelter may rescue other animals - farmed
animals - like rabbits, horses, goats, sheep, and chickens. Like every good
shelter, you strive to find forever homes for the animals you save, and yet
farmed animals may still be served up as the main course at your official
functions.
The Food for Thought campaign can help align your organization’s menu with
its mission by adopting a formal policy regarding the types of food it
serves … or doesn’t serve! To many people, rabbits, horses, goats, sheep,
and chickens are companions too, equally worthy of compassion and respect.
