Hot dog eating contests appeal to the lowest common denominator, but damn if they don’t generate wheelbarrow loads of free publicity. With this in mind, if there are going to be hot dog eating contests, why not offer one with vegan hot dogs? Compassion Over Killing and Sticky Fingers Bakery are teaming up to host a contest in DC on July 26th. Link.

And in other Compassion Over Killing news, the organization just got Takoma Park, Maryland to condemn the production and consumption of foie gras. While these city council actions are largely symbolic, they demonstrate that cruelty in animal farming is becoming increasingly objectionable to the general public. Link.
