Mercy For Animals volunteers were out in full force throughout the greater Chicagoland area this past weekend to educate the public about the health and ethical benefits of a vegan diet.
At the popular Northalsted Market Days, with the support of VegFund, MFA volunteers handed out hundreds of free samples of SO Delicious vegan ice cream and Primal Strips’ meatless beef-jerky, much to the crowds’ delight. Volunteers also distributed thousands of pro-veg pamphlets to festival-goers.
Music-lovers at Lollapalooza in downtown’s Grant Park learned of the cruel conditions faced by animals on factory farms and about how they, too, could adopt a plant-based diet to spare hundreds of animals a lifetime of unnecessary suffering every year.
At Veggie Fest, one of the world’s largest vegetarian festivals, MFA spoke with hundreds of veg-curious attendees about how they could get started on their path toward a more compassionate, eco-friendly lifestyle. Thousands of Veggie Fest-goers eagerly picked up free copies of MFA’s Vegetarian Starter Kit, Vegetarian Guide to Chicago and Compassionate Living magazine.
