Tabling by HEART
Ithaca's Animal Defense Group to
Protest The Ithaca
Sciencenter's Egg Drop Contest
WHEN: Sunday, April 9, 2000, 10:00 AM
WHERE: The Commons, in downtown Ithaca, NY
WHY: The Egg Drop contest is an annual educational family event in
which children design containers used to drop eggs from a specific
height. The child who designs a container that successfully protects
the egg is the winner. After practicing to make a container and
participating in the event itself, participants will use hundreds of
eggs that came primarily from factory farms.
Our table will be called "Where Do Eggs Come From?" We will be
displaying a battery cage and offering free literature, recipes, and
egg-free treats to educate the public about the cruelty of egg
production on both factory and free-range farms.
