Ottawa -- Decked out in their finest spandex costumes—complete with capes, boots, and masks—and holding signs that read, "Be a Superhero for Animals: Go Vegan," PETA's soy-powered, fruit- and veg-fueled females will assemble outside Ottawa's first-ever Comiccon at the Ottawa CE Centre on Saturday. The vegan heroines hope to encourage the event's expected 10,000-plus comic book, superhero, horror, and sci-fi fans to join the fight against the evil, violence and villainy of the meat and dairy industries that poison their victims' bodies with artery-clogging fat.
When: Saturday, May 12, 11 a.m.
Where: Outside the Ottawa CE Centre, 4899 Uplands Drive, Ottawa
"As Vulcans already know, there's nothing logical about supporting industries that mutilate and kill billions of animals every year," says compassionate consumer crusader Emily Lavender. "We're calling on the citizens of Earth to exercise the power of the plate and fight injustice to unarmed animals by going vegan."
Today's factory farms are straight out of a supervillain's playbook: Chickens and turkeys have their throats cut while they're still conscious, piglets have their tails and testicles cut off without being given any painkillers, fish are suffocated or cut open while they're still alive on the decks of fishing boats, and calves are taken away from their mothers within hours of birth.
Headliners at Ottawa Comiccon include PETA friends William Shatner (Captain James T. Kirk of Star Trek fame) and Cassandra Peterson, better known as Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.
