After much anticipation, the world’s first traveling factory-farming experience is on the road and garnering headlines left and right!
Our Glass Walls exhibit launched this week to roaring success at Weber State University in Utah and is currently set up at the University of Utah before continuing on its nationwide tour.
Imagine walking to your 8 a.m. Bio 110 class and seeing a giant, ominous, inflatable barn parked next to the student union! Then imagine a sign promising free food if you can make it through that barn. If you’re like thousands of other students this week, you’ll accept that challenge!
Inside the exhibit, students can check out educational panels about animal intelligence and how the meat industry denies animals everything that’s natural and important to them. Ever wonder what it’s like to be confined to a battery cage like a hen in the egg industry? Inside this exhibit, students sit on chairs with cage walls on them while watching a high-definition, abbreviated version of PETA’s “Glass Walls” exposé so that they can see what life is like from animals’ point of view.
After watching the video, students exit out the back of the exhibit and receive a free vegetarian/vegan starter kit, peta2 stickers, and a vegan food sample to start them on a more compassionate track. Not a bad deal, eh?
The fall tour schedule for the Glass Walls exhibit will be unveiled shortly, but in the meantime, if you’re interested in hosting this groundbreaking display at your school, contact us ASAP at College@peta2.com!
peta2 Street Team Coordinator + lover of vegan food, cats, animal rights, Dawson's Creek, and Harry Potter.
Hello! My name is Nina, and I am a musician-in-training, and I play 7 instruments. I am a liberal, an LGBT activist, avid reader, composer, singer, and poi spinner. I am vegan, and a strong supporter of animal rights.
Born and raised in Mexico. I love vegan food and animals!
I was born in Canada and love peta2. I table every month and meet new people:older and younger. I love music and play the recorder. I'm a 6 year spelling bee champion. Again I love peta2!
I have always lived in Los Angeles but my family and I went to Mexico for my parents wedding. So we came back to LA. I don't like LA but were here already what can I do unless I move out and find my own housing. I have always liked animals and it was til I was like about 14 when I learned about tests they do on animals and I began to explore animal cruelty because I was interested it in it. I have watched videos that just broke my heart so that's why today I'm doing all I can to not buy anything that has harmed an animal and I'm vegetarian .
I'm tall, I love sewing, fashion and the environment, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.) Obviously, I love animals! :)
