Purrs & Grrrs
Purrs Purrs to 7–Eleven for making soy milk
even easier to find. The convenience store chain has added soy milk
to its shelves in several test–market states.
Please send thanks to 7–Eleven and urge the chain to offer soy milk
in all stores by writing to:
James W. Keyes, President and CEO,
7–Eleven, Inc.,
P.O. Box 711,
Dallas, TX 75221–0711.
Or e-mail via its Web site at: www.7–eleven.com.
Purrs to Sears for withdrawing its sponsorship of the
Iditarod. During the race, which is held every March in Alaska, mushers
force dogs to run 1,150 miles with little to no rest in eight to 14
days over rough and dangerous terrain. Approximately 120 dogs have died
in Iditarod history.
Send thanks to Sears by writing:
Alan J. Lacy, President and CEO,
Sears, Roebuck & Co.,
3333 Beverly Rd.,
Hoffman Estates, IL 60179.
Purrs to P.F. Chang’s, a bistro-–style
Chinese restaurant chain that not only offers tempting vegan fare, including
tofu lettuce wrap and coconut curry, but will also use its savory vegan
base and substitute tofu for meat in any dish—just ask. View the
menu and find locations near you at pfchangs.com.
Please thank P.F. Chang’s for its willingness to accommodate vegetarians.

Grrrs to Jason Alexander for promoting KFC
chicken. While Seinfeld fans laughed as Alexander’s character, George
Costanza, made half–hearted attempts to get a job, compassionate people
know there’s nothing funny about earning a paycheck by promoting animal
abuse.
Please send a polite letter to Jason Alexander and ask him to end his
stint as KFC’s spokesperson.
Write: Jason Alexander, c/o David Pollick, BWR,
9100 Wilshire Blvd., 6th Fl., W. Tower,
Beverly Hills, CA 90212.
Grrrs to rapper Busta Rhymes, who bragged
to Vibe magazine about how he used to torture mice caught on glue traps
in his youth: “We used to stick burning cigarettes in their bodies,
watch them wiggle till they just stopped moving. Can’t live in
the crib and not pay some kind of rent.” Busta’s recent
album is called I Know What You Want.
Tell him that you want him to stop bragging about his days as an animal
abuser. Write him
c/o Biff Warren,
J Records,
745 Fifth Ave., 6th Fl.,
New York, NY 10151.
