Demonstrating before each Ringling Brothers Circus at the St. Pete Times Forum, numerous volunteers and new activists joined forces to educate the masses! One young couple attending the circus realized the cruelty (we reminded them on the way in), left half way through the show, and joined our demonstration the next day! Check out our pictures

With the help of In Defense of Animals, PETA and the Humane Society of Tampa Bay, FVA and their hard working volunteers organized a VERY successful "Adopt! Don't Buy" demo at a Petland in Wesley Chapel on December 21! Numerous customers were educated on the horrors of pet stores and puppy mills. Many shoppers left to find a companion from their local shelter instead! We even made the evening news on Channel 8! Check out our pictures here.

In September 2008, thanks to the diligence of FVA's own John Moyer and a team of phone-callers and letter-writers, Bruegger's nationwide bagel franchiser promises to phase out the use of eggs from battery caged hens: "Bruegger's is committed to switch all of our locations in Florida within the next few years. Bruegger's takes this issue very seriously and believes in the humane treatment of all animals."
