Vegetarian Star

Update: This event has been cancelled.

If you’re looking for a chance to shake hands with who some call an eco hero, plan on attending the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society fundraiser event at Moo Shoes in Manhattan on November 11, where you may meet Captain Paul Watson, star of Whale Wars and founder of the Sea Shepherd organization.

Watson and the Sea Shepherd crew were recently parodied on the Comedy Central cartoon Southpark.

The event is being hosted by PPath‘s Kelly Overton, will include a speech by the Captain, as well as food and music by Princess Superstar.

To inquire about the event and to obtain tickets, email Kelly at kelly_overton [at] post [dot] havard [dot] edu.

Activists and longtime veg couple Peter and Mary Max will be hosting the launch of the film, Standardized Testing on Friday, June 19th from 6:30-8:30 PM at the Max Studio at 37 West 65th Street, 7th Floor in New York City.

Standardized Testing follows activist Kelly Overton  as he returns to his Alma maters of Harvard, Tulane, Columbia, and UMass in an attempt to return his degrees and get his tuition refunded to bring attention to the controversial medical research being conducted on animals in university labs.

According to the Standardized Testing website, “The film uses scientific and economic data to show how medical research done on animals wastes billions of tax dollars annually, obstructs medical progress and needlessly tortures and kills millions of animals every year.”

Overton is the founder of PATH, People Protecting Animals and Their Habitats. PATH, according to its website, “advocates for the humane treatment of all animals, as well as the conservation and protection of areas that are vital to the survival of endangered or threatened species.”

Tickets for the event may be purchased  at ppath.org.
