www.WorldGoVeganWeek.com The 4th annual World GO VEGAN Week is a celebration of compassion and a time to take action for animals, the environ-ment and everyone’s well-being. We encourage people to use this week to educate their community about the vegan lifestyle as a compassionate, sustainable, and healthy way of eating and living. Promoting veganism through outreach events and the media, we know that our annual World GO VEGAN Week is helping make the word "vegan" a household word, universally recognized as meaning love and compassion for all living beings.

National Primate Liberation Week

Mindi Lasley is organizing leaflet-ing and demonstrations on behalf of FVA in honor of National Pri-mate Liberation Week, which is October 17th through October 24th. Most of the leafleting and

demonstrations will be at USF since they have primates they use for testing. Mindi is hoping to get some volunteers together so we can do at least one day during the week when most students are around. Mindi would also like to do a day on either the weekend of the 17th or the weekend of the 24th. Please contact Mindi at mindibeth@gmail.com and let her know if you’re interested in helping, and if so, what days and times you’d be available to assist with leaf-leting and demonstrations.

Anti Foie Gras Campaign FVA has started an “Anti Foie Gras Campaign” in the Tampa Bay area. A successful one has already been started in the Sarasota area. We are asking chefs of certain restau-rants to remove foie gras from their menus. For more information on how you can help through phone calls, letter writing and demonstrating please visit www.FloridaVoicesforAnimals.org/AntiFoieGrasCampaign or contact Diane Koon at 813-926-1940.

Welcome New Board Member: Maria Bott I was so excited the day I joined the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani-mals. I was only eight years old! Abuse and neglect of animals wasn’t tolerated in the Eng-lish village where I was raised. Unfortunately the kind of people who enjoyed fox hunting and hare coursing did not live in our village.

In 1986 I moved to the US and experienced some dramatic cultural differences. I had never heard of greens being cooked with bacon fat or of peas floating in butter. It amazes me that with the research and medical facts available today, households and restaurants in America are still cooking that way. Today I am a Life Coach and Fitness Specialist practicing in Tampa. I still firmly believe that the vegan way is the only way to glowing health, a sustainable environment, and a peaceful world. Florida Voices for Animals renews my hope and faith that someday humanity as a whole will evolve. I envision a time when cruelty, neglect, and the abuse of any form of life, will be unacceptable everywhere on the planet. Sixty Percent of Adults Can't Digest Milk Properly Excerpt from USA Today: Got milk? If you do, take a moment to ponder the true oddness of being able to drink milk after you're a baby. No other species but humans do, and most humans can't ei-ther. ... First off, most people who have bad reactions to milk aren't actually allergic to it, in that it's not their immune system that's responding to the milk. We're Not Meant to Consume It. Cow Milk is for Baby Cows. Instead, people who are lactose intolerant can't digest the main sugar, lactose, found in milk. In normal humans, the enzyme that does so, lactase, stops being produced when the person is between two and five years old. The undigested sugars end up in the colon, where they begin to ferment, pro-ducing gas that can cause cramping, bloating, nausea, flatu-lence and diarrhea. Being able to digest milk is so strange that scientists say we shouldn't really call lactose intolerance a disease, because that presumes it's abnormal. Instead, they call it lactase per-sistence, indicating what's really weird is the ability to con-tinue to drink milk.

Animal Legislation Please visit the Humane Society web-site at www.hsus.org/legislation_laws for more information on these and other current legislation. The 111th Congress is now in session, and we're at an un-precedented point in history regarding animal protection leg-islation. HSUS is looking forward to working with the new Administration and the 111th Congress. Here's a look at some issues they will be focusing on this year. Be sure to make your voice heard in support of these bills.

Senator Bill Nelson: 202-224-5274 or District 407-872-7161 Senator Mel Martinez: 202-224-3041 or Toll Free: 866-630-7106 Visit https://community.hsus.org/humane/leg-lookup/search.html to find your Representative or to email our Senators. Horse Slaughter (H.R. 503/S.727) The Conyers-Burton Prevention of Equine Cruelty Act would finally end the suffering endured by more than 100,000 horses each year who are hauled across the country and into Mexico and Canada, to be cruelly slaughtered for human consumption in foreign markets. Tell your legislators to support this legislation to stop horse slaughter.

Puppy Mills Puppy mills are cruel, factory-style breeding businesses that produce puppies in large numbers and sell them to unsus-pecting consumers. We need Congress to crack down on these mass dog-breeding facilities and require businesses that sell puppies online and in pet stores to meet welfare standards.

Fur Labeling (H.R. 2480/S. 1076) The Truth in Fur Labeling Act would protect consumers by bringing much-needed accuracy and full disclosure to fur labeling laws. Recent tests by The HSUS showed that ani-mal fur is frequently unlabeled, mislabeled or marked as faux. We hope the 111th Congress will pass legislation to require truth-in-labeling for all fur products so that consum-ers can make informed choices.

Antibiotic Resistance (H.R. 1549/S. 619) The Preservation of Antibiotics for Medical Treatment Act would phase out the routine non-therapeutic use of antibiot-ics in farm animals -- a common practice to promote growth and compensate for overcrowded, stressful, unsanitary con-ditions on factory farms -- in order to maintain the effective-ness of antibiotics for treating sick people and animals.

Ape Protection (H.R. 1326) Approximately 1,200 chimpanzees are languishing in labo-ratories across the United States. We need Congress to phase out the use of chimpanzees in invasive research and retire the estimated 500 federally-owned chimpanzees to perma-nent sanctuary. Tell your legislators to support this legisla-tion to help chimpanzees.

Downed Animals To require humane euthanasia and condemnation of livestock too sick or injured to walk at slaughter plants, auctions, and other facilities, and to prohibit USDA certification of meat from those animals for human consumption. =============================Getting Real About the High Price of Cheap Food Excerpt from TIME Magazine: Somewhere in Iowa, a pig is being raised in a confined pen, packed in so tightly with other swine that their curly tails have been chopped off so they won't bite one another. To prevent him from getting sick in such close quarters, he is dosed with antibiotics. The waste produced by the pig and his thousands of pen mates on the factory farm where they live goes into manure lagoons that blanket neighboring com-munities with air pollution and a stomach churning stench. He's fed on American corn that was grown with the help of government subsidies and millions of tons of chemical fertil-izer. When the pig is slaughtered, at about 5 months of age, he'll become sausage or bacon that will sell cheap, feeding an American addiction to meat that has contributed to an obesity epidemic currently afflicting more than 2/3 of the population. And when the rains come, the excess fertilizer that coaxed so much corn from the ground will be washed into the Mississippi River and down into the Gulf of Mex-ico, where it will help kill fish for miles and miles around. That's the state of your bacon — circa 2009.

Many of you know about PCRM's initiative to urge congress for healthier options in our school lunch program [to include vegan and vegetarian options, as well as non-dairy beverage options] www.healthyschoollunches.org/wyntergrace/index.cfm They set their petition drive goal at 100,000 signatures, great leverage when speaking with committee members during the revision of the Child Nutrition Act. Thanks to many of you we hand collected 1,042 signatures throughout Tampa Bay and countless electronic ones. Their grand total as of Sept 10th is 101,000! Yes, that’s right, we helped them cross the finish line. Give yourself a pat on the back.....go ahead! Anytime anyone says these little efforts don't matter, you have yet another example of how much they do. Here's a link for all their news coverage www.healthyschoollunches.org/news/index.cfm

Positive Feedback While wearing my VEGAN shirt in the airport I had 2 great encounters. First, a woman ap-proached me to announce she just went veg thanks to Kathy Freston's book. Second, the man I sat with on the plane exclaimed "Oh you're vegan. Of course! You have a very healthy presence.” ~ Nikki Benoit

Help Nudge Dunkin' Donuts Towards Com-passion We're happy to support Compassion Over Killing's (COK) Dunkin' Cruelty Campaign, to urge Dunkin' Donuts to offer vegan menu items. They've already had some success, con-vincing about 10 stores in Washington DC, Baltimore, and Chicago to offer soy milk with their coffee. Call Dunkin' Donuts: 800-859-5339 or send a Letter to the CEO: Dunkin Brands, Attn: Nigel Travis, 130 Royall St., Canton, MA 02021.

Please tell the company you want it to stop using eggs and dairy in its donuts and offer vegan menu items to meet the growing demand for more healthful and humane foods.

Featured Member Amber Simpson is a Florida native born and raised in Lakeland and now resides in Plant City with her boyfriend of 3 years Loukas Kam-elaris, 6 rescued cats, and a fish. Coming from a southern family where fried chicken and vegetables soaked in animal fat as a staple of every meal, she is the only vegan in the bunch, making for little support of her compassionate lifestyle. This made it extremely hard when she started transitioning into a vegetarian lifestyle at age 16. "I don't eat things that I want to pet" is what she told people when they questioned her flesh-free plate. In 2008 with the help of Nikki Benoit, Jodi Chemes, and FVA, Amber and Loukas became more educated on animal issues and decided to become vegan and get active for the animals. Amber states "Leafleting, tabling, protests, or whatever... I love it all! If I'm available, rain or shine, I'll be there until the end." One of her favorite ways to spread the word of "peace, love, and compassion for all beings" is through her love of vegan baking and cooking. She even started a monthly Vegan Pot-luck in Tampa to help teach others how to make compas-sionate choices. "Coming from a southern family, I was taught that the fastest way to a persons heart is through their stomach." Since childhood, Amber could always be found watching and caring for stray cats. "There's something about all fe-lines that has always fascinated me." This love for felines has followed her into adulthood where she has dedicated most of her time to the TNR Program for feral cats. Her ef-forts have paid off with the sterilization of over 300 cats in

the past 7 months. She is also a member of St. Francis Soci-ety Animal Rescue where she volunteers with fostering, bot-tle feeding orphan kittens, transporting animals, and fund-raisers. "For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction, so choose your actions wisely. Even the smallest changes can yield big results. If not you, then who? If not now, then when?"

Green Bean Casserole 1 large can French cut green beans 1 canister vegan French fried onions 1 1/2 cups soy milk 1 cube veggie bouillon 2-3 tablespoons corn starch (or potato starch) mixed with 2- 3 tablespoons cold water to use as a thickener 1/2 medium onion, diced 1 carrot, diced 3/4 cup chopped mushrooms (button, crimini, portabella...) 1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1/2 teaspoon each of garlic, salt, pepper, basil, oregano, sage, marjoram, thyme, Any other hearty herbs of your liking

Heat soy milk and veggie bouillon in a saucepan, stirring until bouillon cube disintegrates. Do not boil or scald the soy milk. Just heat it. Sauté onions, carrots, and mushrooms in the veggie oil in a skillet. Add salt, pepper, and herbs and spices. Mix the starch and water well, and pour into the soymilk/bouillon. Stir well, because this will coagulate pretty quickly. Quickly add the can of green beans, the sautéed veggies, and about half of your French fried onions. Stir well. Pour the mixture into a casserole dish or pan and top with re-maining French fried onions. Bake in oven at about 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes, until the onions begin to brown. Remove. Eat. Enjoy.

GOOD NEWS ☺Victory for the Greyhounds - Dog Racing Ends in New Hampshire! This June, the last

two remaining dog tracks in New Hampshire announced that they are end-ing greyhound racing, effective immedi-ately. Under a new law passed as part of the state budget, the tracks will be able to continue simulcast gambling without

live racing. www.grey2kusa.org/action/state.html

☺Huge Animal Hospital Network Bans Cos-metic Tail Docking, Ear Cropping, De-barking This August; Banfield, the nation's largest veterinary prac-tice with 730 hospitals and 2,000 veterinarians, including many in PetSmart stores, announced it will stop performing cosmetic tail docking, ear cropping, or devocali-zation (de-barking) of dogs. We applaud Banfield's humane move, tempered only by the question "what took you so long?"

☺Breed-Specific Legislation Defeated Because of efforts to oppose breed-specific legislation in Florida, two bills that would have lifted the current ban on breed-specific legislation for local governments (House Bill 189 and Senate Bill 922) died in committee. Targeting cer-tain breeds simply does not work. Studies have shown that it is not certain breeds that are dangerous, but unfavorable situations that create dangerous dogs
