First Entry

Hello, fellow vegetarians/vegans (or those interested in supporting animal rights),

Welcome to the Banana Slugs for Animals blog, sponsored by a creature-loving club housed on the beautiful University of California, Santa Cruz campus. Weekly, there will be postings of links to critter-friendly companies and groups and reminders of Santa Cruz events, for those who live within the area. We hope you enjoy, and feel free to stop by whenever possible.

Educational games for the animal lover in you:

• For those of you who have a little money to spend (I know I don't), but: http://www.steermadness.com/ (It's an award-winning game about a steer who escapes from a slaughter house)
