Compassionate Action: Winter/Spring 2007, Issue 20
Dear Friend,
Since our humble beginnings in 1995 as a small high school club,
Compassion Over Killing has grown into a powerful voice
for farmed animals with a full-time staff of six, a half million
dollar budget, and campaigns garnering national attention to
the cruelties of factory farming. We couldn’t have come this far
without all of your support. We also couldn’t have come as far as we
have without making important and significant changes enabling us
to become stronger and more effective.
COK first started publishing The Abolitionist in 1996 as a
way to expose animal abuse as well as reach out to our supporters
with a message of thanks for helping us help animals. Now, 20 issues and eleven
years later, we’ve changed the title to match the name of our online newsletter:
Compassionate Action!
In this issue of Compassionate Action, you’ll read about COK’s groundbreaking
investigation inside a North Carolina turkey hatchery, our MTV pro-vegetarian
commercial campaign going national, our federal rule-making petition
mandating truth in labeling on egg cartons, and so much more.
Our ability to make a difference for animals depends upon the kindness of our
supporters, so please accept our heartfelt appreciation for helping us accomplish so
much. But the battle is far from over, and your continued support is crucial to our
efforts to stand up against the multibillion-dollar industries that relegate animals to
the status of mere machines.
The voices of billions of factory-farmed animals must be heard, and with your
help, they will be heard. Thank you for all you do to make this world a more
compassionate place.
Sincerely,
Erica Meier
Executive Director
