Animal Liberation kangaroo fundraiser lunch
1.00pm, Sunday 14 March 2010
Tian Ci Vegetarian Restaurant
1006 Victoria Road, West Ryde
Now, more than in any previous time, kangaroos are being exploited in greater numbers. Industry continues its propaganda that kangaroos are in 'plague proportions' and vested interest groups comply with this fabrication for profit.
The 440,000 Joey Campaign is attracting people from around the world who are signatories to banning the slaughter of kangaroos. Hundreds of kangaroos each night are shot through the jaw and left to drown in their own blood while joeys' heads are crushed with a boot or lead pipe. Other joeys die of starvation, dehydration or predation. We must do everything we can to keep this campaign going here and overseas!
Animal Liberation Parramatta invites you to a fundraising lunch to raise money for this cause. It is a yum cha lunch, with a $5 donation per head going to the campaign.
RSVP or queries to billie.preston@gmail.com.
