On Thursday 9/15/2005 from 6:00 pm until 9:00 pm, the COW Video Van
will be outside the Belmont Red Line El Stop, on Belmont Ave., just
east of Sheffield, promoting the many benefits of a vegetarian/vegan
diet. Volunteers are needed to distribute literature to the public.
Come and volunteer or just stop by to watch the shocking, undercover
videos from American factory farms.

COW stands for Compassion on Wheels. The COW Van is a
television-equipped van that roams the Chicago area, revealing the
dark realities of how our society uses animals. Focusing primarily on
showing undercover factory farming footage, the COW Van is able to
bypass the media and bring these images directly to the people of
Chicago. The video footage coming from the side of the COW Van is not
always pleasant to see, but the message is an empowering one.
Reactions to the COW Van vary. While some cannot bear to stop and look
at the reality of animal food production, many ordinary Chicagoans are
struck by the images and inspired to consider moving toward more
compassionate food choices.
