Escape the Race! 2013

Animal Liberation ACT held an "Escape the Race!" picnic as an alternative to the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday 5 November 2013 from 1-3.30pm at Glebe Park in Civic.

 A free vegan sausage sizzle/BBQ picnic was provided. 

Who needs a fascinator when a(n empty!) box of Linda McCartney vegan sausages will do the trick?! 

 A Sweet Bones vegan cake even made a (short-lived) appearance.

RIP Verema.

On a much sadder note—if anyone needed reminding of the cruelty involved in the horse racing industry—beautiful horse Verema snapped her leg during the race and was later killed.
