Through Mercy For Animals' pro-active, education-focused Library Outreach Campaign, community centers nationwide have been welcome hosts of our attention-grabbing and thought-provoking pro-vegetarian displays. Comprised of multiple panels and accompanying materials, the displays powerfully illustrate the disturbing reality of factory farming, countered with inspiring tips on preventing farmed animal abuse and information on moving toward a healthy and humane diet.
Seeking to make facts, ideas and data regarding vegetarianism, compassionate cooking, factory farming, and animal ethics and advocacy more accessible and visible, a second tier to MFA's Library Outreach Campaign consists of donating books, resources and documentary films on such issues to libraries nationwide.
MFA's professional displays include mouthwatering images of vegetarian foods that encourage healthy food choices, with additional tips and resources on how to transition toward a vegetarian diet; facts, figures and quotes from newspaper reports, government studies and animal welfare experts, detailing the inherent flaws in industrial agricultural systems - which treat sentient, feeling farmed animals as little more than production units; eye-catching photographs illustrating the treatment of animals used in food production, including images that vividly convey the cruel realities of factory farming; related material, such as vegetarian cookbooks and books on animal advocacy, supplied by the library from their own collection; and brochures and leaflets for patrons to take with them for more information and links to on-line resources.
