Delicious Afternoon at Vegan Fall Market

Posted on by NHARL in In the News

New Hampshire Animal Rights League was on site at the This Stop Is Willoughby fall mini market on Sunday, Sep 12 in downtown Dover, NH (home of Roots vegan cafe and CAKE. vegan bakery).

We met many vegans, and people moving in that direction, and spread the word about the work we do. Lots of visitors entered to win the Halloween baking raffle prize, signed up for our mailing list, and expressed interest in getting more involved.

There were Lovebird Donuts and ice cream from Like No Udder at the market—plus Camberville Dog Treats at our booth—so no one went hungry!

We’ll be back again on Oct. 17, in costume for Halloween!

Successful Booth at Market Days Festival 2021

Posted on by NHARL in In the News

New Hampshire Animal Rights League is thrilled to share the news of our highly successful outreach efforts at the Market Days Festival in downtown Concord, NH.

During this three-day event (August 19-21), we spread the word about the work we do for all animals with a focus on promoting a vegan lifestyle.

Being situated next to the Col’s Kitchen tent made our mission all the easier, as Col’s plant-based eatery was grilling up delicious vegan burgers all weekend!

Accomplishments

  • Gathered more than 150 new names for our mailing list.
  • Made meaningful connections with hundreds of people who care about animals.
  • Gave out postcards with our top tips for going vegan.
  • Offered discounted memberships.
  • Lured festival-goers with a chance to win a Ninja Professional 1000-Watt blender (useful for vegan cooking!).
  • Got interviewed by Concord TV!

Goodie Bags

We also handed out close to 200 “goodie” bags containing vegan literature (sampling below), stickers, and vegan cookies from Lenny and Larry’s and Divvie’s.

Eye-Opening Video

We enticed more than 100 people to watch the following 1-minute video from Animal Outlook about “Humanewashing”— those deceptive marketing tactics designed to make us think that meat, egg, and dairy companies care about the welfare of farmed animals.

Those who watched the video received a free can of vegan cold brew coffee from RISE Brewing Co. along with some conversation about what they had seen.

Veganism is on the Rise

To our delight we met many people who were already vegan — such as “Angel” pictured below. Looks like Angel is getting enough protein…

Thank you to all our supporters and to everyone who stopped by to learn about the immense suffering of farmed animals.

Together, we will bring it to an end.

On the social side, we are delighted to be holding our popular annual summer picnic again in August. This is a great opportunity to re-connect with old friends and perhaps make some new ones!

This issue also includes a delicious summer picnic pasta salad recipe and a list of places to get vegan ice cream in NH.

Lastly, we are thrilled to bring you an interview with former board member Peter Marsh about his work for animals and the release  of his new book.

Tabling at New England Dog Expo

Posted on by NHARL in In the News

NHARL had a busy and productive day tabling at the New England Dog Expo hosted by Good Mojo University in Milford. We promoted our advocacy work and spotlighted the benefits of a vegan diet — both for people and for dogs. We had many good conversations and handed out a lot of vegan dog treats and vegan “people treats.” On top of that, we got 14 new names for our mailing list and collected some cash donations for NHARL.

Special thanks to Camberville Dog Treats, V-Dog, and Bobo’s bakery for donating the treats, and to Good Mojo University for inviting us.

Protesting at Living Shores Aquarium

Members of NHARL and Until Lolita is Home hold signs outside the Living Shores Aquarium at Story Land in Glen to protest the opening of the aquarium and how its corporate parent treats Lolita the orca at a marine park in Miami

Animal-rights protesters target Living Shores Aquarium at Story Land

By John Koziol, Union Leader Correspondent — Nov 10, 2019

GLEN — Two animal-rights groups held a protest Saturday outside the new Living Shores Aquarium at Story Land, questioning the commitment to animal welfare and giving a special nod to Lolita, an orca in Miami.

From noon until 2 p.m., about 10 people, representing the New Hampshire Animal Rights League and Until Lolita is Home, stood on the side of Route 16 in front of the aquarium, some holding signs that read, among other messages, “Animals are not our entertainment,” “Otters belong in the wild” and “Freedom matters to all.”

The protest generated no confrontations — a Bartlett police officer in a marked vehicle was in the Story Land parking lot nearby — but the protest did get many honks of support from passing drivers and at least one very loud, very clear expression of opposition from the driver of a bright red pickup truck.
