Did you know that dairy products come from cows and goats that are forcibly impregnated, with their babies taken away so the milk meant for their offspring can be sold for human use?
Imagine if a similar practice were applied to humans — what would that feel like? This really easy and delicious meal features vegan cream cheese, a healthier and more compassionate alternative to dairy.
Keep your crockpot cruelty-free this holiday season! With so much going on, let your crockpot do the heavy lifting for dinner. This soup is incredibly easy to prepare, and the best part? It’s completely cruelty free!
During 2025, NHARL continued to contact Manchester city officials about the cruelty and risks associated with bull riding. Nevertheless, the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) Tour is returning to the SNHU Arena for two shows in December.
The PBR has also added Boston to the tour. That’s right — one of the nation’s most progressive urban centers is now seen as a profitable market for a bunch of pretend cowboys to bully, stress, and dominate bulls for entertainment.
Please join us outside the SNHU Arena (555 Elm Street, Manchester) for one or both peaceful protests against bull riding. Meet on the sidewalk near the arena’s front entrance on the corner of Elm St. and Lake Ave.
Signs will be provided.
Parking: Spots on the street are hard to find on event nights, but since we start early you may find one. The closest garage is the Center of NH Garage (65 Granite Street, Manchester). Business lots also offer event parking, but this is an expensive option. See SNHU Directions & Parking for more detail.
After failing to interest Manchester city officials in addressing the cruelty and risks associated with bull riding, NHARL staged a bold protest against the PBR.
Vegan soups are packed with flavor, nutrients and love for the animals! Every bowl is a step toward a more compassionate world.
Veggie-Packed White Bean Minestrone
Amherst, NH is known for its Halloween celebrations, attracting thousands of trick-or-treaters from in town and surrounding communities.
NHARL took advantage of the crowd — and cover of darkness! — by renting a space at Doors on the Green and delivering an unequivocal “Dairy Is Scary” message to kids and adults alike.
Our old barn door had a window, through which we looped the following 1-minute video of sad scenes on dairy farms.
Many people stopped to watch…
About 1,000 trick-or-treaters stopped at our door, receiving either a plant-based Reese’s peanut butter cup or plant-based Hershey’s bar — with an important message securely attached!
Visitors were delighted to learn that Reese’s and Hershey’s have plant-based versions, with many parents thanking us for providing a dairy-free option for their lactose-intolerant children. (The web address on the card goes to MILK a Short Film from a Mother’s Perspective.)
Happily, we also got a few fist pumps from vegans and aspiring vegans.
Overall, Halloween in Amherst proved to be a highly effective and efficient way to share a message of compassion for animals with a broad audience.
We’re already looking forward to returning next year!
