On October 18, 2025, the NH Animal Rights League once again took part in the Animal Rescue League of NH’s annual Howl-O-Ween 5K, revisiting the Dairy Is Scary message — just in time for Halloween!
Playing the role of a calf taken from her mother, Bella the Dog stayed in character, maintaining a mournful expression. (Bella was, of course, given a chance to get out and walk — she just preferred to ride.)
NHARL was the 2nd place fundraiser — Again!
Thanks to your donations, once again Team NHARL earned 2nd place in the list of Top Team Fundraisers, raising more than $1,300 for the shelter!
Team Captain Liz was joined by Jessica and Sam; Steve, Amy, Amelia, and Sunny the Dog; Joan; and Bella the Dog.
Our signs:
MOTHER COW: “Please don’t take my baby away!”
BABY CALF: “I want to stay with my mom and nurse.”
DAIRY FARMER: “I have to take the baby away so I can sell the mother’s milk.”
Our table was strategically positioned near the starting line, so runners waiting for the race to begin had a good look at our posters.
“I didn’t know that.” “I had no idea.” Nearly everyone we spoke with was shocked to learn these scary facts about the dairy industry.
Dairy-Free Chocolate to the rescue!
Eventgoers who were saddened to learn how scary dairy is were treated to a delicious alternative — dairy-free chocolate peanut butter cups and coconut bars from UNREAL.
Thank you!
Thank you to the NHARL runners and walkers, to those who donated, and to everyone who stopped by our table!
Have a happy and cruelty-free Halloween!
