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!

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.

I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)
