Bite Club of KC

Biting back for defenseless nonhuman animals…

  • Activism with a bite!



    Bite Club of KC is an independent, zero-profit animal rights and liberation activism group. Founded on 7/5/09, Bite Club’s mission is to amplify the efforts of individual animal rights activists in the Kansas City area by bringing them together, to educate the public about veganism and animal liberation in an attempt to gain their support and participation, and to wage campaigns to defend nonhuman animals who are under attack. Campaign tactics will include educating the exploiters, negotiating with the exploiters, speaking out for the victimized nonhuman animals through the media, demonstrating against the exploiters, informing the exploiters’ neighbors of their barbaric activities, and potentially engaging in civil disobedience.

    Bite Club welcomes all animal defenders who want to engage in activism on behalf of nonhuman animals. With respect to tactics, strategies, actions, and campaigns, we are willing to entertain any ideas, provided they are above-ground and legal. Whether you want to be the most vocal protestor at the demos or stay behind the scenes making signs and leaflets, whether you can work a few hours a month or seven days a week--if you want to stand up for other animals, we need you.

    The first rule of Bite Club:

    "The fights go on as long as they have to."

Forty-five million turkeys are slaughtered and eaten each Thanksgiving…

This Saturday, November 21st, is the Candle Light Turkey Vigil from 5pm to 6pm at the Horse Fountain on the Plaza off of 47th Street and Broadway.

This vigil for the turkeys is a way of speaking out against the slaughter of these awesome creatures for this bloody holiday called Thanksgiving. I do have a turkey outfit for whomever wants to wear it, and we will be handing out flyers and holding candles. If you have candles, please bring them.

Millions of turkeys are killed every year for Thanksgiving, but we can have a cruelty free holiday — it can be done. Meanwhile, turkeys go through a very painful experience of having their toes and beaks cut off with no pain killers, and are stunned so they can’t move. Then their heads are cut off by a spinning blade while they are totally awake.

There is time to still sponsor a turkey at www.adoptaturkey.org, a program through farm sanctuary.

Hope you all can make to the vigil. It’s only for an hour. I thought maybe we all could go to Eden Alley or the Seed Cafe after the vigil.
