Winner of the Ninja Blast!
Thank you to everyone who joined our mailing list and was entered to win the Ninja Blast + The VegNews Guide to Being a Fabulous Vegan. Our lucky winner was Tia Wells!
On May 31, 2025, NHARL had a booth at the Manchester Animal Shelter’s Mutt Strutt, where we encouraged dog lovers to have compassion for all animals — even those we’ve been taught to see as food.
Think You Know Farmed Animals?
We invited eventgoers to test their knowledge of farmed animals with a quiz that revealed the capabilities of cows, pigs, and chickens.

Tear-Jerker Video
To help visitors connect the meat on their plates to the animals it came from — animals who share all the wonderful qualities of dogs — we created this short video, which played on a loop throughout the event.
Vegan Dog Treats!
We sent dog guardians home with samples of plant-based V-dog wigglebiscuits — which were a big hit with the dogs who stopped by our table!
Quiz Answers
Question 1: C is correct. Mother cows form deep bonds with their calves and have been observed calling for them and showing signs of distress long after separation.
Question 2: C is correct. Pigs can play video games with joysticks, solve puzzles, and recognize themselves in mirrors—something even dogs can’t do!
Question 3: C is correct. Chickens know that objects still exist even when hidden—an ability that human babies don’t develop until several months old!
Thank you to our volunteers and everyone who stopped by to learn about why all animals deserve our compassion!
