This past June, the University of Victoria in British Columbia asked Earthanimal Humane Education and Rescue Society to assist in the removal of the excessive rabbit population on campus. The University gave EARS until the end of July to relocate the animals, and after that the remainder would be put down. In order to raise funds for the relocation and the spaying and neutering of the rabbits, EARS, along with Liberation BC, held a vegan bake sale Wednesday, July 28. The bake sale was immensely successful, raising more than $8,300. Gary Lowenthal, founder of Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale, was reported saying that this broke the record of all vegan bake sales.
