SHAC
I'm 15/f and I'm pretty much an animal rights wanna be activist freak. lol
I saw the SHAC demos put together into one video on youtube. I believe they're stationed in Europe...maybe I'm wrong. Anyways, are they going to come to Washington DC or somewhere in Virginia again? And could I join even though I'm only 15? Although I highly doubt my mom would let me be part of a demo but whatever. I just wanted to know how old you have to be in order to be able to join demos

hey that other person pretty much answered your question and this is totally unrelated to your answer (sorta)
but I was wondering if you ever considered or do volunteer at dog shelters.. not only can they get you more involved in different demos and stuff but that is the best way to help animals... because no matter how strict things get with the law and animal rights its never going to be able to be 100% prevented and i would say 70% of the animals in alot of shelters where taken from homes where they are abused and sometimes spend the rest of their lives in shelters
I try to go as often as possible to my local shelter to do what I can.. one year me and a girl for girlscouts had a drive and collected food to take down and I try to go down and walk these poor dogs around on trails in the surrounding area and stuff because without volunteers most of these dogs just sit in their cages alone all day. I know at my shelter there are only 1 or 2 paid employees with over 40 dogs and close to 100 cats so its impossible for them to do it alone.. and most shelters like mine are soo poor there is nothing they can really do.
If you don't already volunteer consider it.. even if you can only go once or twice a year. It makes a huge difference in the lives of these poor animals that can't speak for themselves and did nothing wrong to spend their lives like that.

I don't think there's any age restrictions on going to the demos although they may say you'll need to bring a guardian with you (just incase) although from what I have read about SHAC they are generally peaceful demos without incident. you're right, they are stationed here in Europe (you can have a look at their website at www.shac.net which can provide you a lot of information about them and what they do and such). As for them coming to or having any demos in Washington DC or Virgina I was unable to find any details of on their web site. I think the best thing to do might be to email them directly on info@shac.net and ask them. :] At the same time you can also double check on their standing on tyou attending any of their demos given your age and see what they say/suggest. I was going to email them for you but if you email them directly you'll get a more direct response and you can ask them anything else you need to ask as well. :]
