Walking the Walk on Animal Rights! All Animals Count!

Animal welfare and environmental protection organizations often overlook how the food served at their events and fundraisers may conflict with their missions. Animal shelters will serve animals such as cows, pigs, and chickens as food (e.g. burgers, ice cream, or even a pig roast) to raise funds for the cats and dogs they rescue under the missions of promoting compassion for animals or reducing the suffering of animals. Likewise, environmental and wildlife groups will serve animal products at their events even though animal agriculture is one of the leading causes of climate change and species extinction. Food for Thought works with these organizations to align their menu with their missions.
