A Year-End Pop Quiz From East Bay Animal Advocates
An East Bay Animal Advocates annual dispatch would not be complete
without a piece of quirky trivia. California has some bizarre laws on
the books. We would like to take this opportunity to quiz you on your
knowledge of irrelevant legal information:
Question: In the Golden State, it is legal to throw which two items
from a moving vehicle?
While you ponder your answer to the question, we would like to extend
our sincere appreciation for your support for animal protection.
Thanks to your care and concern, EBAA efforts have steadily grown over
the past four years to advocate on behalf of millions of animals
abused in California agriculture. EBAA is delighted to remember our
triumphs for the year. Our 2007 scrapbook includes:
* The debut of our vivid magazine The Advocate
* Rescues of egg-laying hens from factory egg farms
* Prominent media spotlights from news services like CNN Money,
Associated Press and East Bay Business Times
* Formal recognition from the Internal Revenue Service of our
organization's tax-exempt status
* The creation of our organization's strategic plan with the
guidance from acclaimed Compass Point Nonprofit Services
* Corporate partnerships with local retailers like Rainbow Grocery
and Farmer Joe's Marketplace
* The launch of our Holiday Facts advertising campaign with The San
Francisco Chronicle
For the New Year, we are gearing up for the release of new reports on
animal food production and kind-hearted campaign antics to persuade
Lunardi's Supermarket to end the sale of battery cage eggs. We are
also supporting Californians for Humane Farms.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your commitment to
protecting those in need. We invite you to explore www.SupportEBAA.org
for a variety of ways to contribute to our advocacy work.
Before our year-end departure, we have a retort to the question asked
earlier.
Answer: Clear water and feathers from live birds are the only contents
that may be legally ejected from vehicles in California.
East Bay Animal Advocates promises to uphold our commitment to protect
animals abused in California food production. Our New Year's
Resolution is a simple task: Follow the feathers.

Reading is the key to staying warm this winter.
Californians are known for their sensitivity to colder temperatures
(i.e. 65� F or below). With the winter season upon us, what better way
to beat the cold than to read a good book by a roaring fire. EBAA has
the perfect paperback recommendation for the shivering book-worm:
Striking at the Roots: A Practical Guide to Animal Activism.
Written by the dynamic Mark Hawthorne, the new book, which spotlights
our work, "brings together the most effective tactics for speaking out
for animals and gives voice to activists from around the globe, who
explain why their models of activism have been successful - and how
you can get involved. Concise and full of practical examples and
resources, this guide dispels the myths surrounding animal activism
and will empower you to make the most of your skills."
Read an excerpt from the book and order a copy of it today. Don't
forget to stay warm this winter too!
