That’s why, as we celebrate 15 years o advocacy—rom 1995to 2010—we’re so proud to look back at all you’ve helped usaccomplish on behal o armed animals. It’s the generosity oever-growing number o supporters that has enabled us to comesuch a long way in our short history: Starting out as an all-volunhigh school club and evolving into a national orce or animals.

This issue o Compassionate Action oers areection o our widespread strategic actionor animals—rom our undercover inves-tigation inside a hatchery that led to therescue o dozens o birds (including theadorable duckling eatured on the cover) to

Compassion over Killing • CoK.net • WINTER 2010 • IssuE 23 • cOmpassiOnate act

Compassion Over Killing teamed up with Mercy For Animals and the Animal Protec

tion & Rescue League as well as thousands o compassionate consumers in 2009 to

urge BOCA Foods to stop using eggs in its products. BOCA has long been a leader i

supplying meatless oods to a growing market, though many o its products were m

with eggs.

Within weeks o launching our campaign website, BOCAEggFacts.com, the

company contacted Compassion Over Killing to announce its plan to remove all egg

rom its products in 2010. The company stated:

“I am pleased to let you know the BOCA brand will be eliminating eggs in all

of its products by the end of this year. We anticipate all BOCA products will b

egg free in 2010.”

Thank you to BOCA, and to everyone who joined in our campaign to help brin

about this victory or animals!n

doors o actory arms while urther encouraging viewers to visit COK’s website,

TryVeg.com, or more inormation.

These commercials aired nationwide on MTV, Animal Planet, and

Comedy Central or our straights weeks, and the response rom viewers was

tremendous, including this note (see the back cover o this magazine or moreviewer eedback):

“I just saw your commercial on Animal Planet and had no idea that animals

on arms were treated so terribly… I can’t stomach the idea o eating animals

anymore. Starting today, I’m a vegetarian! I just wish I knew about this

sooner. Thank you or putting that ad on TV.”

Compassion Over Killing frst launched

Takoma VegWeek in 2009 in our

hometown o Takoma Park, Maryland.

This week-long celebration was ofcially

declared by our city through a Mayoral

Proclamation that encouraged residents

to choose vegetarian oods as a way to

help protect their health, the planet, and

animals. Maryland’s Sen. Jamie Raskin,

who inspired COK to organize VegWeek,

signed a pledge to go veg or one

week—a pledge that he’s kept to this day!

Energized by his new vegetarian diet,

Sen. Raskin helped COK to expand our

VegWeek campaign in 2010 to include

the entire state o Maryland. Seven elected

ofcials, including Congresswoman

Donna Edwards, State Delegates

Tom Hucker and Jim Gilchrist, and

Montgomery County Council Vice-

President Valerie Ervin, participated in

Maryland VegWeek and publicly pledged

to go vegetarian or the week. This eort

was supported by the state capital city

o Annapolis, the Montgomery County

Council, and the city o Takoma Park,

which all signed proclamations ofcially

declaring Maryland VegWeek and encour-

aging residents to choose vegetarian oods.

Maryland’s campaign was such a

resounding success, we brought this

celebration to the West Coast and ho

our frst-ever Los Angeles VegWeek

Congressman Brad Sherman and C

Assemblymembers Pedro Nava and

Lieu led the way, each pledging to ch

vegetarian oods or the week. Asm. L

2010: COK Celebrates VegWeein Maryland and Los Angeles!

“Going vegetarian has helped me eel a lot better physically as well as

politically—I fnally lined up my menu with my morals.”– Maryland Senator Jamie R

“ I believe that we have to model the behavior that we want to promote, especia

when we are dealing with issues related to healthy liestyles, animal welare, an

environmental stewardship. VegWeek helps to put the ocus on respect and ju

or animals and helps promote good nutrition.”

– Montgomery County Council Vice President Valerie

“ During my tenure in the Legislature, I have worked very hard to raise the stand

or the humane treatment o animals. [Los Angeles VegWeek] will help to raise

awareness and encourage a more compassionate diet and liestyle.”

– California Assemblymember Pedro

In 1995, Compassion Over Killing was

ounded as an extra-curricular high

school club with a handul o volunteers

and no unding. Despite those limited

resources, rom day one, COK was deter-

mined to stand up or animals and help

make the world a kinder place. While

much has changed since our humble

beginnings, fteen years later that

determination to stop animal sueringremains steadast.

As a powerul voice or armed

animals, COK is continually evolving and

improving upon our strategies in order to

maximize our abilities to expose the cruel

underbelly o animal agribusiness and

empower others to make compassionate

choices. As you’ll see in the highlights

below, rom 1995 to 2010, we took on

the egg industry’s misleading advertising

scheme and won, we’ve changed the wayscores o corporations do business, we’ve

reached out to millions o TV viewer

with our pro-veg commercials, and s

much more.

Our greatest strength, however,

is you: our dedicated members. These

advancements or animals are only po

because o the generosity o our suppo

interview

CoK tk w pu sPal shapiro fonded Compaion Over Killing in 1995 and worked for

the organization ntil Janary 2005, when he accepted a poition a the

enior director of the Hmane society of the united state’ factory farm

campaign, where he still serves.

While at COK, Pal acted both a the grop’ campaign director and a

ndercover invetigator at factory farm, livetock action, and lagh

plants. His work has played an integral role in ending misleading advert

on egg carton, paing law in everal tate to criminalize vario

factory farming practice, and helping contle individal make bette

eating choices.

Q: How was Compassion Over Killing

ounded?

A: Seeing that there was little animal

advocacy in my high school in

Washington, DC, I originally intended or

COK just to be a school club. (Amusingly,

I’d actually ounded other high school

clubs with similarly noble goals such as

the Chips and Salsa Club and the Bread

Club…) Pretty soon though, COK started

hosting events, and very quickly therewere ar more adults than high school

kids involved. From there it just really

took o, especially once we started doing

undercover exposés at actory arms.

Q: What prompted COK to shit its

ocus primarily on animals raised

or ood?

A: The organization rom the start had a

strong ocus on arm animal issues, but

we also spent signifcant time combating

cruelty in other industries. It wasn’t until

about a decade ago that I started reading

essays rom riends o mine like Matt

Ball and Jack Norris about the need or a

greater movement emphasis on arm ani-

mals that we shited to a nearly exclusive

ocus on them.

I o course think the animal

movement should seek protection

or all animals, but considering the

overwhelming number o arm animals

who are abused and the relative

lack o movement resources that go

toward aiding them, I thought it was

an important role or COK to fll. I’m

heartened that more national groups

are now adding some emphasis on arm

animals, but there’s still much work tobe done.

Q: How has vegan eating changed

since you became vegan?

A:I’vebeenavegansince1993and

it’s amazing how much has changed

since then. I remember that no regular

grocery stores carried soymilk at the

time, whereas now even Wal-Mart has

an extensive selection that’s so good

even my 91-year-old grandather buys

it. The prolieration o vegan eating into

the mainstream has been really impres-

sive.In1993,fewpeopleknewwhat

the word meant. Now we’ve got cultural

icons like Bill Clinton, Ellen, and Oprah

talking glowingly about vegan eating,

while other inuential fgures are arguing

in avor o signifcant reductions in

consumption o animals. It seems li

society is moving in the right direct

although certainly not ast enough.

Q: How do you think our society

relationship with armed animals

change in the next 15 years?

A: For years, the animal movement

been right about the actory arming

sue. But now, we fnd ourselves not on the right side, we fnd ourselves

the winning side. More and more st

are banning standard actory armin

practices; an increasing number o i

uentials are encouraging a reductio

our animal consumption; the movem

is becoming more mainstream, pro

sional, and most importantly, eecti

That said, this tremendous pro

is hardly sel-executing. It’s happen

because a lot o people are working

to make it so. I can’t predict where

movement will be 15 years rom no

but i we do make urther progress,

it will only be because o the tireles

united, and organized eorts o the

thousands o wonderul people who

make up this great social movemen
