Animal Advocacy Tip

Give your local library(ies) a gift subscription to the magazine Veg News. It's a very effective way to get information to a lot of people without much effort, or money.

Library visitors tend to browse the magazine section and are more likely to pick up a brightly colored cover and read a publication that gives information in short, well-designed articles - as opposed to searching the library catalog for a book on animal issues. Until they see the topic in front of them, it's unlikely they'll seek the info.

I also leave old issues in the breakroom at work, or at doctor's offices, but I wouldn't recommend investing in a separate subscription for these locations; the magazines tend to walk.
