SARO To Hold Vegan Bake Sales

Tomorrow SARO will hold the first of four vegan bake sales for October.  The profits from the bake sales go to help fund SARO's cat rescue and foster program.  Currently, SARO is fostering 9 cats and kittens awaiting adoption. Each week they need food, litter and vet care.  Tomorrow's bake sale, with it's delicious treats, will be in the lobby of Marshall Hall on SUNY ESF campus from 10am to 3pm.

SARO is always looking for new baking talent.  Even if you've never baked before you make still have baking talent. So why don't you check out a few vegan recipe websites ( Vegweb, VegCooking, ChooseVeg, The Post Punk Kitchen, etc ), throw on an apron and bake up a storm.  Even if tomorrow's bake sale is too soon for you.  SARO will have another three during the weekend of October 24th, on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.  For all the bake sales, please drop your items off, with a list of ingredients and your contact info (so we can return your dishes) on the front porch of 708 East Raynor St. ( a block down from Sadler Hall), preferably the day before the bake sale.

When picking recipes for SARO bake sale please keep a couple of things in mind:

• Popular items are: muffins, banana bread, apple crisp, cookies etc.
• Students like to buy things they can eat easily and cleanly in class.
• All items should be vegan.

Our Website Is Changing

It seems that over the past week or two our websites have become buggy.  We are now restructuring them and hope to have everything fixed in the next day or two.  This blog will become the new website and should be bookmarked using http:SyracuseAnimalRights.com

A Walk and A Protest in One Day

This past weekend was a a busy one for SARO. Okay really it was Saturday that was super busy for SARO.

Saturday morning, we hit the paved trails of Onondaga Park in Liverpool for the annual Walk For Farm Animals. SARO was joined by more than thirty walkers who walked for about an hour.  We got a little exercise and helped raise money for Farm Sanctuary. Farm Sanctuary in case you hadn't heard is a national farm animal rescue organization based out of Watkins Glen, NY.  In Watkins Glen they have a 175-acre farm where animals come to spend their remaining years after being rescued from abuse or neglect.

This month SARO is planning a carpool-trip to Farm Sanctuary on Saturday, October 17th, just weeks before they close this year's touring season.  The carpool cost $5.00 (gas for the drivers) and the tour is $3.00.  Please email info[AT]syracuseanimalrights.com if you are interested in joining us.

After the Walk For Farm Animals, SARO then participated in a protest against KFC.  SARO has been doing KFC protests off and on for a few years now.  This year we changed locations from the Erie Blvd location to the Butternut St and Park St location.  This protest is in support of PETA, who called for all KFC locations nation wide to protested at until KFC changes their methods.  Please see PETA's Kentucky Fried Cruelty campaign for more ways you can help and for more information on why you shouldn't eat at KFC.
