COK Urges Egg-Free Pledge

Now that Easter is over, the egg industry is finding itself in a bit of a slump. The solution? Encourage mass consumption of eggs through its “National Egg Month” campaign. Compassion Over Killing is rolling the situation on its elliptical head by kicking off its second annual Crack the Cruelty campaign and urging people to take a month-long pledge to eliminate eggs from their diet. But this campaign is about more than saying “no” to eggs—it’s about saying “yes” to innovative recipes, amazing veg products, oh, and maybe there’s an issue of VegNews in it for you, too. That’s right: The first 200 people to sign the online pledge will receive a free copy of our humble little publication. So come on, we don’t want to hear any “egg”scuses!
