Another Great Annual Summer Outing

Once again, the NH Animal Rights League’s annual summer outing, held September 7, 2024 at Four Tree Island, Portsmouth, was a big success. We were delighted to welcome and feed many new friends.

Our tireless volunteers, Carole, Cathy, Chip, Dave, Jason, Kathy, Kris, and Louise were indispensable, setting up beforehand, working the grill, and doling out sides of pasta salad, potato salad, and chips.

Ocean Plastic Harms Aquatic Life

Our theme for this year’s event was the impact of ocean plastic, ghost nets, and other marine debris on aquatic life.

We invited guests to do our Ocean Plastic Scavenger Hunt and learn about how plastic trash and abandoned fishing nets/gear have turned the oceans into mine fields for animals such as turtles, dolphins, whales, and seabirds.

And the Winner Is…

Shout out to Simon, who was first to finish the scavenger hunt, finding every item on the list!

Old and new Friends

The summer outing is an opportunity for people who care about animals to connect with like-minded individuals.

Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who came out for this event, to all our helpers, and to those who made donations. We couldn’t do this work for animals without your support.
