Dairy Is Scary Protest @ Culver's!
Culver's, 4140 Rusty Road St. Louis, Missouri, 63123 United States, St. Louis, MO, US🐄📣✊ Join us for a “Dairy Is Scary” protest at Culver’s, a Midwestern chain known for its heavy reliance on cheese, butter, and other dairy products!
Shining a light on the dairy industry’s hidden cruelty, this peaceful, high-visibility demonstration will feature:- 🪧 Bold signs seen by thousands of passing drivers
- 💔 Original vegan artwork highlighting the harm of the dairy industry
- 📱 QR-code outreach linking curious passersby to the eye-opening Dairy Is Scary video
This empowering action is for you if you:
- 🐮 want to protect mother cows and their babies

Culver’s built its brand on ButterBurgers and frozen custard. But behind every scoop is a mother whose baby was stolen from her.
This August, we’ll expose the cruelty behind dairy products along one of South County’s busiest corridors, helping build a more compassionate, animal-friendly St. Louis in the process.

Vegan Banner Drop!
Tamm Avenue overpass, 6428 Oakland Avenue St. Louis, Missouri, 63139 United States, St. Louis, MO, US✊⚖️🌎 Join us for a vegan banner drop on World Day for the End of Speciesism!
Through this high-impact action, we will:- 🐷 Raise awareness about the injustice of speciesism
- 👎 Denounce speciesist discrimination
- 🗽 Champion a future where all beings live safe, happy, and free
Over 100 cities in 28 different countries partook in this coordinated day of action last year, united around five core demands:
- 1️⃣ Create a new legal category for animals that abolishes their property status
- 2️⃣ Launch global education campaigns against speciesism and for nonviolence
- 3️⃣ Build a nonviolent dietary culture free from fishing, slaughter, and other cruelty
- 4️⃣ Advance ethical research without animal exploitation or torture
- 5️⃣ Ensure all environmental decisions consider animals’ interests, including those of wildlife
PETA has provided a giant banner that will reach thousands of passersby in just minutes. Its message is clear: end speciesism—and end all forms of oppression, including racism, sexism, and ableism.
At this political moment, a consistent anti-oppression message has never been more critical, urgent, or necessary.
Please join us as we fight for a future rooted in justice and nurtured by compassion!📧 Want more vegan advocacy opportunities + community? Join our mailing list today!
