MFA Distributes 64K Pro-Veg Leaflets at Pride Events Across North America (PHOTOS)

Every year, Mercy For Animals volunteers hit the streets in
full force at LGBTQ pride parades around the country, bringing our message of
social justice to the masses.

This June and July, marching behind a striking banner
bearing the message “No one is free when others are oppressed, volunteers in
seven major cities, including Toronto, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco,
and Chicago, distributed more than 64,500 leaflets, urging
compassionate people to act on their values of justice and equality by choosing
a vegetarian diet.

Upwards of 340 people marched and
distributed literature with MFA, many waving large MFA logo flags and rainbow
flags.

Studies indicate that the LGBTQ community may be more likely
than others to consider vegetarianism,
making pride events a great place to reach out to open-minded, animal-loving
people.

Since MFA’s inception more than
16 years ago, the parallels between gay equality, animal rights, and other
social justice movements have been an important theme in our philosophy and
message. This was MFA’s 11th year marching and leafleting in pride parades.
