People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
Farm Animal Reform Movement (FARM) and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) have co-sponsored several annual gatherings of American animal-rights leaders. The most recent example was a July 2001 conference held in the Washington, DC area, where speakers included PETA’s Bruce Friedrich. PETA activists have also participated in organized observances of FARM’s “great American meatout” event – in one case actually handing out free veggie burgers in front of McDonald’s restaurants in order to discourage the usually carnivorous lunch crowd.

Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
In conjunction with its “Great American Meatout” promotion, FARM sponsored a March 2001 event on Capitol Hill to promote an anti-meat agenda. Barnard was listed as an “expert” on the press release, and PCRM staffers were there in full force, handing out literature and serving veggie burgers. The same held true in 2002 and 2003.
