Washington – Wearing only strategically placed lettuce leaves, PETA’s sexy “Lettuce Ladies” will serve up a heaping spread of tasty Field Roast vegan frankfurters on Capitol Hill this Thursday at PETA’s annual Congressional Veggie Dog Giveaway.

Where:            Outside the Rayburn House Office Building (beside the main entrance), Independence Avenue S.W., between S. Capitol Street S.E. and First Street S.W., Washington

When:             Thursday, July 23, 12 p.m.

“We want to let policymakers in on why the answer to the stress of Capitol Hill just might be a veggie dog,” says “Lettuce Lady” Melissa Lacher. “PETA is encouraging people who are ready to improve their health inside and out to reach for meat-free snacks.”

A recent study found that dropping meat and dairy foods can boost moods in just two weeks and reduce the long-term chances of developing high blood pressure, heart disease, and other health issues—a vital message for congressional workers. Veggie dogs contain roughly a third of the fat and calories of their fleshy counterparts—and they spare animals a lifetime of extreme suffering in the industrialized meat industry. Eating meat and other animal-derived foods is also conclusively linked to strokes, diabetes, obesity, and cancer.

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?” READ MORE
