Quantcast Vegetarian StarVans Warped Tour

PETA is using the summer 2010 Vans Warped Tour to launch the campaign, “Elephants Never Forget,” meant to raise awareness of abuse circus animals endure.

After texting “NEVER” to 73822 (Peta2), cell phone users will be prompted to visit the PETA tent at the Warp Tour during one of its 43 dates from June 25-August 15. They will also be subscribed to a mobile list for the youth and teen division of Peta, Peta2.

The campaign is part of PETA’s ongoing efforts to educate the public about the conditions circus animals endure, with Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey being the biggest circus company as the target of the animal rights organization.

The digital campaign is made possible by Waterfall Mobile, the same company behind the campaign for the Oscar winning documentary, The Cove.

Gabe Saporta, vegetarian and frontman for the band Cobra Starship, has a lifesize cardboard cut-out of himself on the Vans Warp Tour.

It’s located under the PETA tent, and will be present at every performance on the entire tour.

Cardboard Gabe is sporting a “Glamour Kills” t-shirt, which highlights the cruelty of animal testing in cosmetics.

Which is ironic, considering Gabe’s never been the “guyliner” type. We’re thinking it’s a more appropriate shirt for oh, let’s say, Davey Havok.

But it’s the message that counts.

Incidentally, do you know if your lipstick, lotion, or other makeup accessory is cruelty-free? Because it would be horrible to do an Ellen DeGeneres move and say you’re a vegetarian or vegan while fronting Cover Girl.

Check out leapbunny.org and find out. The “leaping bunny” can be found on all products where no new animal testing has been used in any phase of the product for the company, its laboratories, or its suppliers.
