I had the pleasure of being able to attend this event on Sunday the 3rd of November. It was held at the Earthwise Community area on Bagot Road, Subiaco.
The event was organized by the group Animal Amnesty and held to raise awareness on how to live a cruelty free life and being environmentally aware.
There were activities for children, including story telling and face painting, plus live musical entertainment, a raffle and cooking demonstrations.
Roaming the grounds were several greyhounds up for adoption, plus the cutest rescue rabbit who had his own little space in the shade.
Naturally, all the food stalls present offered vegan food.
There was the Yumeeme Persian food stall that offered delicious sweet and savoury vegan food, with gluten free options.
Down the other end, we visited Awesome Rawsome stall, which had all sorts of raw vegan foods and drinks on offer. After seeing one of our friends eating a raw vegan falafel with hummus on top, we thought we better try one for ourselves. They were very tasty and quite substantial. Loved the hummus on top!
After that, we just HAD to have dessert, which was a veganized Cherry Ripe ball, which we picked up at the Animal Amnesty stall.
Aside from the food stalls, there were other stalls selling clothing, giftwares, and natural body care. There was also a stall by Sea Shepherd, Animal Rights Advocates, Australian Justice Party and a few others.
I was particularly pleased to see that there was a stall by Greener Pastures Sanctuary, where they were selling some of their brand new promotional items. My partner and I bought a t-shirt each and we have both already worn ours. A lovely design with prints both front and back, in women's fitted styles, men's styles and children's sizes.
Thank you, Animal Amnesty, for organizing this event. There was such a lovely, relaxed vibe to it and it was great to see some familiar faces and to chat and hang out with like minded people.
