The animal rights episode of Morgan Spurlock's "30 Days" airs tomorrow night, Tuesday, June 17, on FX at 10:00 PM EST. Check your local listings.
You can find out more about the show, in which somebody gets immersed into a totally foreign lifestyle for 30 days, at http://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/originals/30days/about.php
Many of us met the hunter named George when he came into our Los Angeles animal rights community a few months ago, and attended meetings on the upcoming farm animal ballot initiative, and participated in PETA protests. And many of us found him warm and affable, as are the animal rights folks with whom he stayed. It should be a great show! The PETA 2 blog, at
http://blog.peta2.com/2008/06/peta_on_30_days_tomorrow.html gives you loads more information about it. It starts with:
"What do you get when you put George Snedeker, an avid hunter, with a family of vegans (including PETA's own campaign coordinator Melissa Karpel) for 30 days? If you ask 30 Days creator Morgan Spurlock, an hour of the most compelling TV you'll ever watch."
If you like it, please let Fox know! Stations need to know that animal rights themes are of interest to their viewers. Email Fox at user@fxnetworks.com
Yours and the animals',
