DINNER:
Dinner is a vegan potluck. Vegan means no animal products (no meat,
poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, or honey). Please bring a dish
with enough to serve a crowd and a serving utensil; also bring a
place setting (plate, fork, knife, cup, etc.) for your own dinner. We can help non-vegetarians or
others uncertain about how to make or bring a vegan dish; please
call (585) 234-8750 for help.
PROGRAM:
"Animal Rights vs. Animal Welfare: Making the Case," by
Gary Francione. A well-known subscriber to the abolitionist position, Francione
argues that working for "bigger cages" will not ultimately benefit
animals. He is articulate, fearless, and funny; his talks are
controversial and engaging. DO NOT MISS THIS MEETING!
COST: Free to RAVS members. $3 guest fee for non-members, unless you join at the meeting.
