Materials

Open the Cages Alliance has produced informational literature for use at animal advocacy events and in other educational settings. Our Fashion Is Not Worth Dying For brochure details the exploitative practices of the fur, wool, down, silk and leather industries, and suggests specific vegan alternatives to buying and wearing these products. These brochures are distributed at demonstrations for fur-bearers during the winter months, and at tabling events throughout the year. We are currently revising this brochure, and it will be available for download and distribution in the spring of 2012.

OTCA has also produced a brochure called The Truth About Animals in Entertainment, which contains information about animal circuses, aquariums, zoos, horse racing and dog racing, and suggests fun, family-friendly alternatives to using animals for entertainment. These leaflets are used at our demonstrations for animals used by Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus, at Pro Bull Riders protests, and at tabling events.

Open the Cages Alliance's Replacing Eggs and Dairy leaflet outlines problems with the egg and dairy industries from an ethical standpoint, and suggests a number of delicious vegan alternatives to eggs and dairy in cooking and baking. This brochure is distributed at our vegan bake sales and tabling events, and at our feed-ins where we hand out free vegan baked goodies. We hope you will help us distribute these materials at our events, and/or download and use these materials in your organizing for animals.
