PETA EVENT IN KUALA LUMPUR - NEED YOUR HELP

Below is a note from PETA. If you can volunteer to help please contact Ashley at AshleyF@PETAAsiaPacific.com

At the beginning of September, PETA Asia staffers will be visiting Kuala Lumpur for an eye-catching protest. On Wednesday, 2 September, (around midday) we'll be hosting an educational event featuring a Lettuce Lady – who will be wearing a full-length gown made of lettuce.

The event aims to educate people about the millions of cows, pigs, chickens and other animals killed for their flesh every year. As I'm sure you know, these animals are kept in extremely crowded, filthy enclosures and are denied everything that is natural and important to them. At the slaughterhouse, animals are routinely hung upside down, have their throats cut, are skinned and are scalded to death while still conscious.

We need your help to make these demos successful! Please contact me if you're able to help in any of the following ways:

· We need a volunteer who speaks Bahasa Malay to attend our event. The volunteer would be assisting us in speaking to the public and the media. If you're not comfortable speaking to the media, we'd love to have you help with the set-up of the event.

· We need volunteers who can make follow-up calls in Bahasa Malay to media outlets. The calls need to be done on the afternoon before and/or the morning of the demo. The calls are very simple and are just intended to verify that the media outlet has received our news release. We are grateful for any help with media calls—even five calls can make a big difference!

· We need a volunteer who can check out possible locations for the event before we arrive to make sure that they are suitable for the event.

· We need volunteers at the event itself who can help with putting everything together.

Please reply to this e-mail for more information about any of these projects.

Thanks so much for everything that you do for animals!
