Oakland, Calif. -- Holding a sign that reads, "Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me? For Christ's Sake, Go Vegan," a costumed "pig" from PETA will hit HoneyBaked Ham in Oakland during lunchtime on Good Friday to promote merciful meals for Easter. Other PETA members will distribute copies of the group's video exposé of the meat industry, which reveals how factory farms are hell on Earth for animals.
When: Friday, March 29, 12 noon
Where: HoneyBaked Ham, 4364 Piedmont Ave. (near the intersection with Glen Eden Avenue), Oakland
"Jesus would be appalled by the suffering inflicted on the pigs, chickens, cows, and other animals on today's factory farms," says PETA Associate Director of Campaigns Lindsay Rajt. "PETA encourages Christians and non-Christians alike to show mercy for all creatures by choosing vegan meals—for Easter Sunday and beyond."
