Apr 15, 2023 – Discover Wild NH Day

April 15, 2023 — Discover Wild NH Day

On Saturday, April 15, NHARL will once again have a tent at NH Fish & Game’s Discover Wild NH Day, an annual event held at NH Fish and Game headquarters in Concord.

The event, which is free and open to the public, goes from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.

Although this event promotes hunting, fishing, and trapping, as well as other forms of animal exploitation, groups that do true environmental and conservation work will also be exhibiting. For NHARL, the event is a valuable opportunity to spread a message of compassion and respect for wildlife.

We have not yet decided on a topic for or exhibit but will update this page once we do.

Dec 17 & 18, 2022 – Protest Bull Riding

Once again, NHARL will be on site at the SNHU Arena in Manchester for two demonstrations against the Professional Bull Riders event:

  • Saturday, Dec 17th — 5:30 to 7:30 pm
  • Sunday, Dec 18th — 12:30 to 2:30 pm

Bull riding is cruel, not amusing!

Please join us outside the SNHU Arena for one or both peaceful protests against bull riding. Meet on the sidewalk near the SNHU Arena’s front entrance on the corner of Elm St. and Lake Ave.

Signs will be provided, but feel free to bring your own!

We will be handing out the 2-sided flyer shown below.

The photos below from the last bull riding event held in Manchester show that Tractor Supply is a major sponsor of the tour.

Nov 25, 2022 – Fur Free Friday

Join the New Hampshire Animal Rights League on Fur Free Friday, November 25th, 2022, from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm in a peaceful protest against the use of fur.

Fur Free Friday, which takes place the day after Thanksgiving, is a global campaign in which people all over the world educate holiday shoppers about the cruel fur industry.

Every fur coat, fur accessory, or piece of fur trim, whether sourced from wild animals or those raised on fur farms, causes tremendous suffering and takes unnecessary lives.

Please meet on the corner of Hazen Drive and Loudon Road in Concord, NH. Parking: If you turn onto Hazen Drive and take the first left, parking is available. Signs will be provided.

Guest Speaker

Chris Schadler

of Project Coyote

Becoming Wolf: Eastern Coyotes in New Hampshire — Myths surround coyotes and cloud our understanding of them. Conservation biologist Chris Schadler will tell us the true story of eastern coyotes — how they live among us but are rarely seen, and how they contribute to keep our forests and fields healthy. Despite the ecological benefits they provide, coyotes are the most persecuted carnivore in North America. And despite human efforts to eradicate them, coyotes survive and thrive. Chris been studying wolves and coyotes for 40 years.

Apr 23, 2022 — Puppy Mill Protest

On Saturday, April 23, NHARL will be participating in a puppy mill protest along with Voice for Animals Maine and other compassionate Granite Staters.

The event will take place on the public sidewalk outside Somerset Plaza (379 Amherst St.) in Nashua — home of mill puppy retailer Family Pet & Aquarium — from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm. Our Event leader is Kathryn.

The larger the crowd, the more attention we can bring to the issue, so join us for whatever portion you can and bring your friends.

Some have expressed interest in having lunch afterward. If you have time, this will be a nice opportunity to socialize and talk more about pet stores and puppy mills.

Signs will be provided, or you can bring your own awesome sign.

Multiple states have passed legislation prohibiting the sale of puppy mill puppies in pet stores. It’s time for New Hampshire to do the same!
