DESCRIPTION:DO YOU LOVE ANIMALS, REALLY? DO YOU CAGE, EXPERIMENT ON, TORTURE, KILL, EAT 
 AND MAKE PROFIT OFF OF EVERYTHING YOU LOVE?  Gary Yourofsky, one of the 
 foremost animal rights lecturers in the United States will be speaking on 
 Wednesday November 10th from 7-9 pm in the AG Science building, AG 226, on 
 the campus of Fresno State. Yourofsky,34,holds a B.A. in journalism from 
 Oakland U. and a radio/broadcasting degree from Specs Howard School of 
 Broadcast Arts. He has spoken to thousands of students about the true 
 meaning of animal rights in more than 200 middle schools, high schools and 
 universities nationwide, including NYU, U. of Florida, U. of Arizona and 
 Colorado U.-Boulder. Thought-provoking prose, inspiring stories, 
 indisputable facts, quotations ranging Pythagoras to Alice Walker, plus 
 graphic footage from fur farms, laboratories, factory farms and more, are 
 the basis for a simple plea: that people extend their circle of compassion 
 to animals, and ultimately, go vegan. Yourofsky has walked the talk, having 
 been arrested numerous times for random acts of kindness and compassion. In 
 1997, Gary was arrested after liberating 1,542 minks scheduled for certain 
 death from the Eberts Fur Farm in Blenheim, Ontario.   Yourofsky's 
 inspirational actions have been covered by every newspaper, radio outlet, 
 and TV station in his native Detroit, and by countless other media outlets 
 nationwide. Author Charlotte Montgomery even included a chapter about 
 Yourofsky in the book "Blood Relations: Animals, Humans and Politics." 
 Yourofsky also wrote an essay in 2004 for the first-ever book about the 
 Animal Liberation Front. Dr. Steve Best, chair of Philosophy at UTEP, 
 oversaw the production of "Terrorists or Freedom Fighters." The essay can 
 be read online at http://www.adaptt.org. Gary has also written, produced 
 and done several voiceovers for graphic, hard-hitting TV ads that have 
 aired in LA and Detroit.   Open to the public. Admission is free. Please 
 join us. Sponsored by the Campus Peace and Civil Liberties Coalition and 
 Fresno Voices for Animals.  \n
