Information:
"The aim of this conference is to provide an opportunity for activists to network, build alliances, and discuss how to further the goals of the movement. This conference is designed for people who have already accepted the premise of animal rights and are ready to take the next step. Although we don't presume to know what this next step should be, we hope that this conference will produce constructive results.

The format of this conference will include:

* round-table discussion
* hands-on
* workshops
* lectures
* film screenings
* musical performances

Tickets will be $5-20, sliding scale."

In vitro meat?

"People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) ... just announced a $1 million incentive to the first team capable of satisfying their criteria and producing in vitro chicken meat that “has a taste and texture indistinguishable from real chicken flesh to non-meat-eaters and meat-eaters alike.” Applicants have until June 30, 2012, to get this part right."

Brilliant idea, isn't it?

Brilliant idea, isn't it? No hormones, no feces to create environmental hazards, and no cruelty. Looking forward to being able to buy it for my cat.

Don't eat meat, ride a bike...that's how you can brake global warming, the head of the United Nation's Nobel Prize-winning scientific panel on climate change said...

Hopefully,

businesses won't be vandalized like in the past when ALF has come to visit.

On that positive note...

I think you left out the part where you magnanimously wish them for a fruitful and engaging conference.
