AFAR INFORMATION TABLES -JOIN US NOW.
AFAR has been getting out our (mainly Saturday) Information tables again as the weather has improved.
We’ve got lots of new flyers and boards .
If any of you want to help its usually for say 2-3 hours on a Saturday either in Town at college Green or in the suburbs .ie Malahide, Blackrock etc. We go where suits us on the day usually and weather permitting. Sometimes we just give out Flyers with no table. We need to get our viewpoints out there to the general public and its usually a sociable way to spend a Saturday meeting people.
So anyone up for helping out? You won’t be alone so no need for any experience. Give me a shout and I can fill you in with more details. It’s a loose arrangement finalised on the day ,mainly due to unpredictable weather.
If some of you would prefer to just give out flyers with a friend I can get them to you. Pictures of some of our tabling above. The deputy lord Mayor of DUBLIN even stopped by.
take care

ANIMAL RIGHTS GATHERING 2010
The International Animal Rights Gathering 2010 is being hosted by a collective of Italian animal liberation activists.The Gathering will start on Thursday 8th July and continue through Sunday 11th July, ending with breakfast on Monday morning.Following this, there will be some demos on Monday in the afternoon.
We agreed to organise the gathering in our country because we recognise the importance of an event in which brings together hundreds of activists from tens of different countries and even different continents, to meet and share ideas, thoughts, experiences, tactics, projects and fun. The annual gatherings have been very useful in bringing activists together, sparking cooperation and global campaigning and giving more strength both to individuals and the animal liberation movement.
Maybe you need to relax and recharge your batteries, you need to pause for thought, to learn more about practical issues, to evolve as an activist, to meet interesting people, to be motivated after years of campaigning, to find new ideas, to meet your friends living far from home and discuss things with them face to face, to share the empathy you feel for animals being abused worldwide, and to return home with renewed energy.... You all need something that this gathering can offer you!
This is not OUR gathering but it is also YOUR gathering. It is something the whole animal rights/liberation movement should be putting a little effort into, by attending it, giving talks and workshops, bringing your campaigning material to spread it and share it with others, helping out with all the work there will be during the days of the gathering, or even donating to our fund to help us rent equipment and help activists form less rich countries attend this event.We hope to see many of you there and that we have a good AR 2010 together!

"Isn't man an amazing animal? He kills wildlife - birds, kangaroos, deer, all kinds of cats, coyotes, beavers, groundhogs, mice, foxes and dingoes - by the million in order to protect his domestic animals and their feed. Then he kills domestic animals by the billion and eats them. This in turn kills man by the millions, because eating all those animals leads to degenerative - and fatal - health conditions like heart disease, kidney disease, and cancer. So then man tortures and kills millions more animals to look for cures for these diseases. Elsewhere, millions of other human beings are being killed by hunger and malnutrition because food they could eat is being used to fatten domestic animals. Meanwhile, some people are dying of sad laughter at the absurdity of man, who kills so easily and so violently, and once a year, sends out cards praying for Peace on Earth."
