Hi Everyone.
Some upcoming events for you:
Saturday, January 19, 2 p.m.
Marc Bekoff at the Tattered Cover, Lodo
Renowned biologist RMAD friend Marc Bekoff will discuss and sign his latest book Animals Matter: A Biologist Explains Why We Should Treat Animals with Compassion and Respect, which presents both the latest scientific research and age-old ethical teachings that argue for a more enlightened and compassionate treatment of animals. Bekoff is a Guggenheim Fellow at the University of Colorado in Boulder, and the author of several books, including The Smile of a Dolphin: Remarkable Accounts of Animal Emotions.
Thursday, January 24, 5-8 p.m.
RMAD Happy Hour in Denver
We'll be meeting for food, beverages (libations and non-alcoholic) and fun at City O' City ( 206 E. 13 th Ave.). Bring along friends and family, hang out with the incredibly hip RMAD staff, and meet other like-minded people from the Denver Metro area. No RSVP required.
Monday, January 28, all day
Fifth Annual Dining Out Day at WaterCourse Foods
Simply eat at WaterCourse any time during the day and the restaurant will donate a portion of the proceeds to RMAD. The more you eat, the more WaterCourse donates, so visit as many times as your stomach can possibly handle. WaterCourse Foods is located at 837 E. 17 th Ave, Denver. Huge thanks to Dan Landes, Dan Hanley and everyone at the best vegetarian restaurant in Colorado (and beyond!) for making this happen once again.
Joining in on D.O.D. this year are new friends Ahimsa Footwear, located just one-third of a mile from WaterCourse at 1668 Marion St. Ahimsa is the place for 100% cruelty-free shoes and accessories, and they’ll be donating a percentage of the day’s sales to RMAD as well.
Don’t forget: Ryan Andrews has been diligently and skillfully answering your questions about nutrition, health, fitness and more. Check out the latest batch of questions at Ask Ryan!, and be sure to submit yours. |

RMAD Calendar Spotlight:
Fur Protest
Saturdays, 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Marks Lloyds, 3rd and Columbine, Denver
Four million wild animals are killed in the United States each year by 160,000 part-time trappers who supply pelts to the fashion industry. This number does not include nontarget animals, or "trash kill" (a term for unmarketable animals, such as domestic dogs and cats, deer, birds, rabbits, raptors, etc). One study found that an average of 10.8 nontarget animals are trapped for each trapped target animal. Please help us put a stop to this!
For additional information call 303-449-4422 or 303-777-4828 M-F and leave a message for Ann, or e-mail Ann.
