Taking Action For Animals

Taking Action for Animals ConferenceTaking Action For Animals (TAFA) is right around the corner, July 19-21. This year its will be held in Arlington Virginia. My wife and I usually volunteer at TAFA but this year we decide not to. This year we wanted to be able to listen to more of the speakers, you always miss that one speaker that you wanted to here while its your time to volunteer. There are going to be more than 75 speakers this year, including

  • Gene Baur, president and founder of Farm Sanctuary, author of Farm Sanctuary: Changing Hearts and Minds about Animals and Food
  • U.S. Congressman Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.), 2007 Humane Legislator of the Year
