Fish on aquafarms spend their entire lives in cramped, filthy enclosures, and many suffer from parasitic infections, diseases, and debilitating injuries. Conditions on some farms are so horrendous that 40% of the fish may die before farmers can kill and package them for food.
Veg Wisdom
To a man whose mind is free there is something even more intolerable in the sufferings of animals than in the sufferings of man. For with the latter it is at least admitted that suffering is evil and that the man who causes it is a criminal. But thousands of animals are uselessly butchered every day without a shadow of remorse. If any man were to refer to it, he would be thought ridiculous. And that is the unpardonable crime. - Romain Rolland

The transition of world agriculture from food grain to feed grains represents an...evil whose consequences may be far greater and longer lasting than any past examples of violence inflicted by men against their fellow human beings. - Jeremy Rifkin
About EVEN > What EVEN Does > Speakers
Speakers
EVEN has been very fortunate to have a wide variety of speakers and topics. While subject matter will vary, ALL of our speakers are veg and ALL of our speakers present at no charge. This makes it possible for EVEN to keep all speaking events open to the public and for free!
Since EVEN's primary objective is to "inform, educate and encourage" persons in the benefits of a plant-based diet, our gatherings offer an interesting and informative different veg speaker each month with a topic relevant to veg'ism, non-violence, compassion, sustainability, environment, animal rights, and/or personal health.
Go to EVEN's Calendar to check out our next EVENt. We hope to see you there!
