DESCRIPTION:Come to a benefit for the Oakland Animal Shelter as we feature a screening 
 of a very special film called The Witness! \n\nAbout the OAKLAND ANIMAL 
 SHELTER: The Oakland Animal Shelter is the organization that is responsible 
 for the welfare of all animals in Oakland and handles over 11,000 animals a 
 year. The Oakland Animal Shelter rescues and cares for stray, abused, and 
 unwanted animals; investigates animal cruelty; enforces humane treatment 
 laws; manages rabies control; educates the public about animals; and adopts 
 spayed/neutered animals to loving homes. \n\nAbout THE WITNESS: In the 
 award-winning documentary The Witness, Eddie Lama explains how he feared 
 and avoided animals for most of his life, until the love of a kitten opened 
 his heart, inspiring him to rescue abandoned animals, become a vegetarian, 
 and ultimately, to bring his message of compassion to the streets of New 
 York. With humor and sincerity, Eddie tells the story of his remarkable 
 change in consciousness, sharing along the way some of the shocking 
 realities of the meat and fur industries. \n\nFrom Yale Wishnik, Ph.D 
 California Teachers Association: \n"THE WITNESS provides a catalyst for 
 emphasizing the importance of relationships and the value of all life -- 
 human and non-human animal alike. Classrooms everywhere, in and outside the 
 schoolhouse, need to pay close attention to the message presented by Eddie 
 Lama. His wisdom is simple, yet poignant, as he shows that nothing is more 
 powerful than an act with a purpose and no lesson is more important than 
 one filled with compassion. \n\nWHEN: Sunday August 3rd, 2003 at 12:30 p.m.
