We teased about it last week, and now we’re ready to announce an exciting new project coming soon to college campuses nationwide.
Starting this fall, we will be launching the world’s first factory-farming experience to put people in animals’ shoes. Called “peta2′s Glass Walls Exhibit,” it consists of an enormous 20-by-30-foot inflatable tent, inside of which students will be put in the position of animals in the meat industry by sitting in life-size gestation crates, and where they can watch a new high-definition, immersive version of PETA’s powerful “Glass Walls” exposé.
Upon exiting the experience, students will walk away with free literature, peta2 stickers, and vegan food samples to help start them on a more compassionate track.
This project is still under construction, but here is a very early sketch to give you an idea of what to expect:

Wow I’d love for you guys to visit my school. I’d do anything (except do anything cruel to any living creature), even though I’m still in middle school…. Well, it IS Jeffesary to educate these teens who are clueless to what’s in their food….

This is amazing. I tried to put together something like this, albeit way more rudimentary, for Earth Day when I was in high school so people could feel what it was like to be in one of those cages/crates, but just couldn’t build it.
This is an excellent idea, guys.
