talk the talk and walk the Walk

This past Saturday, I was driving to work off of Magazine and saw a huge mass of people all wearing white shirts holding banners and signs. They were walking down the sidewalk, not chanting or screaming, just holding their signs for all the read. The banner at the head of the line read: "Walk for Farm Animals".

I looked into the organization and they are a national group with "walks" over several states annually and even events in Canada. They work to promote awareness for farm animals abused in factories and raise money for the improvement of their conditions. They are also sponsored by organizations including, "Boston Baked Bonz: A Unique Dog Bakery and Gift Shop!", "Great Sage, Organic Green Cuisine", "Karmavore Vegan Shop", and "Simply Zen".
