On October 3, NHARL had a booth at the Pope Memorial Walk for the Animals, where we encouraged dog lovers to have compassion for all animals — even those we’ve been taught to see as food.
1-Minute Tear-Jerker Video
To help visitors make the connection between the meat on their plates and the animals it came from — animals who share many of the same wonderful qualities as the dogs we love — we shared a short video that we created for an earlier event.
As a reward for watching the video, we gave out cans of vegan cold brew coffee from RISE Brewing Co.

For the pups, we had Greenies, which we purchased by mistake, thinking they were Whimzees.
Unfortunately, Greenies are not vegan, whereas Whimzees are. Visitors to our booth also received a bag of literature, including a copy of Is a Vegan Diet Rights for Your Dog?
Thank you to our volunteers and everyone who stopped by to learn about why all animals deserve our compassion!
Concord’s Market Days Festival is our biggest outreach event of the year and always a lot of fun.
The 3-day event starts Thu., June 25 and ends Sat., June 27, 10:00 am to 8:00 pm each day. We could use your help with handing out treats and literature and talking to visitors. You will receive training beforehand to prepare you for talking to people about animals.
You can walk around and enjoy the festival before or after your shift. Bring along your family and friends!

Test Your Mosquito IQ
True or False? Drinking beer attracts mosquitoes.
We like to include some fun questions to take the sting off (pun intended) the serious ones.
Educate Your Neighbors
Seen a yard sign promoting a mosquito spraying company?
Just text the address to us at 781-281-8174 and we’ll mail a polite postcard from NH Animal Rights League explaining the dangers of mosquito spraying and offering the homeowner nature-friendly alternatives. Your name will not be mentioned!

Got the mid-winter blues? Join us for a change of scenery Saturday, Feb 28 at 12:00 pm at Veggie Life — a fully vegan restaurant in the charming seacoast town of Wells, Maine (1732 N Berwick Rd.).
Yes, it’s a bit of a drive, but look at this food…
Veggie Life is just minutes from the coast, so why not get some sea air with a winter beach walk — work up an appetite or walk off your lunch!
