The Washington D.C. Rabbit Meetup Group
Talk by Dr. Karen Davis, organized by VSDC + Lunch at DC Vegan@New Deal Cafe
New Deal Cafe' 115 Centerway, Greenbelt, MD 20770
The Veg Society of DC (http://www.vsdc.org) is pleased to organize an informative talk by Karen Davis, Founder and President of United Poultry Concerns, with lunch at DC Vegan@New Deal Cafe (http://www.newdealcafe.com/food/dinner-menu) in Greenbelt MD.
Dr. Davis will speak on her new book, "For the Birds: From Exploitation to Liberation." Organized as an anthology, this book features extraordinary writing, exemplary research, and heart-wrenching pathos. Dr. Davis is a compelling storyteller and an accomplished academic, and this effort runs the gamut, from an examination of bestiality in all its dimensions, to the essay, “The Mental Life of Chickens Observed through Their Social Relationships,” in which Dr. Davis shares her poignant observations of the chickens at her sanctuary. There will be time for Q&A.
This event will be held at the all-vegan DC Vegan@New Deal Cafe, in Greenbelt MD, which serves an accessible, plant-based, Italian-American menu that nurtures the environment, animals, and our health. They also have delicious vegan desserts.

Pets in Virginia State Parks
One of the great things about Virginia State Parks is that you can bring your four-legged loved ones along, as well. Yes, Fido can come too but, of course, there are limits.
Pets are allowed in all Virginia State Parks. State regulations prohibit pets on public swim beaches and require pets to be confined or kept on a leash no longer than 6 feet and kept under supervision while in the park. Pets are also not allowed in public facilities (bathhouses, visitor centers, park offices, restaurants, etc.) While pets are allowed at False Cape State Park, they generally are not permitted access through Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge, so be sure to call False Cape SP, 757-426-7128, to verify access. Learn much more! http://www.dcr.virginia.gov/state-parks/pets.shtml

Virginia State Park careers
Virginia State Park careers are more than jobs; they're a way of life. This is particularly true for career field employees - park managers, assistant park managers and chief rangers - who work and live in the parks.
Park positions are more than you might expect. Running a park is like running a small city. The staff performs various duties, including natural resource management, visitor services, law enforcement, water and waste water treatment, facility management and repairs, occupational safety, human resources, financial management and more. This variety of duties makes the work interesting and challenging.

Friends of VBAC & AC say..." TRY FOSTERING!"
Virginia Beach Animal Care & Adoption Center 341 Birdneck Rd Virginia Beach, VA 23451
Become a volunteer! That will allow you to foster and help save lives. Are you afraid of a long-term pet commitment but miss having a furry friend in your life? Are you in the military and worried about short notice deployments that would keep you from owning a pet? Try fostering!
The Virginia Beach Animal Care and Adoption Center needs volunteers to provide short-term in-home care for friendly dogs, cats, or other animals in need until they are adopted. The length of fostering can vary from a few days to several months. The Animal Care and Adoption Center will help you get started and ALL veterinary care is provided by our staff veterinarian!
If fostering sounds like it might be a perfect solution to your commitment worries, please contact Pat Wise [email protected] and request a foster application. Military Members are strongly encouraged to apply . http://www.beachpetpals.org/info/display?PageID=4148
