I am pleased to announce that Mercy For Animals at OSU is now in full swing! As you may already know, our goal is to promote animal rights by doing outreach on the horrors animals suffer in factory farms and slaughterhouses, advocating for vegetarian and vegan diets, and helping to build a vegetarian and animal-friendly community at OSU. This e-mail is to let you know about our upcoming events, volunteer opportunities, and our progress on becoming a recognized group * * *October Events* Here are MFA at OSU's upcoming activities for October. *Vegan Leafleting on the Oval: Tues., Oct. 23 from 11:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.* Meet in front of Hagerty Hall (1775 College Rd. meet at the entrance facing the North Oval) and hand out literature detailing our reasons for a compassionate diet. *Vegan Dine-Out at Northstar Cafe: Mon., Oct. 29 at 7:00 p.m.* Interested in meeting other individuals with a similar desire to end animal suffering? Then join Mercy For Animals for a vegan dinner at Northstar Caf? (951 N. High St., Columbus)! The place has ridiculously good vegan dishes for about $8 that are certain to stand up to any discerning taste! Dinner is Dutch, so bring your money. Carpooling is available. If you need a ride, RSVP me by Friday, Oct. 26. Carpoolers will meet at 115 w. 10^th Avenue at 6:30 p.m. If anyone needs directions or more information, please email me at DylanTL at MercyForAnimals.org or call 740-624-2392 and ask for Dylan. *Vegan Leafleting on the Oval: Wednesday, Oct. 31 from 11:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.* Leafleting on the Oval - meet in front of Hagerty Hall *Free Vegan Dinner and Talk: Wed.

Her book examines how animal abuse is often hidden behind the simple, everyday choices we make, while describing humane alternatives. It also reveals the links between animal protection, environmental, and social justice issues. The event will be at the Columbus Metropolitan Library downtown (96 S. Grant Ave.). If anyone needs a ride, please RSVP me at DylanTL at MercyForAnimals.org by Mon., Oct. 29 so carpooling can be coordinated. *Get Active!* * * Do you want to help plan and organize MFA at OSU's activities? Then join MFA's organizing e-mail list. This is where MFA's core members strategize how to get more vegan options at the cafeterias, coordinate bringing speakers to campus, plan protests, and orchestrate writing pro-animal letters to /The Lantern/, and more! You can request to join by contacting Freeman at FreemanW at MercyForAnimals.org from the e-mail address you would like added to the list. Another great way to get involved is to volunteer at the Mercy For Animals' headquarters located just a few blocks above Lane Ave. in the North Campus neighborhood. MFA always need people to help with making calls, updating our databases, packing and shipping literature and merchandise, writing letters to the editor, online activism, and a host of other activities. Training for all activities is provided. To schedule a time to volunteer, contact Freeman at FreemanW at MercyForAnimals.org or at 614-256-7959. *Vegetarianism in /The Lantern/* We've done a great job of making vegetarianism a topic of discussion in /The Lantern/ . Be sure to check out the articles and leave supportive comments after them so they know OSU students want to see more articles like these: ? Veganism might have benefits ? Eating up vegan lifestyle ? V for vegetarian ? Vegetarian most healthy, humane way to live ? Vegetarian Awareness Month for OSU *MFA at OSU Announces Our New Faculty Advisor* We'd also like to send a huge thank you to Dr. Irfan Nooruddin, Professor of Political Science, who has signed on as faculty advisor for Mercy For Animals at OSU. We are happy that such a model faculty member has joined us to help create a humane and just world for animals. With Dr. Nooruddin's help, MFA at OSU is now a registered and recognized student group, making organizing on campus even easier. So show up to some of our events, join the organizing e-mail list, volunteer at MFA HQ, or contact me if you want to get more involved with MFA at OSU. These are great ways to get involved and make a difference for farmed animals. Thanks to all of you who have signed the mailing list, talked with us, come to meetings, and helped out with events ? with your help this year will be incredibly fun and productive! Sincerely, Dylan Taylor-Lehman President, MFA at OSU
