Dear Sara and All:

We'll be discussing your topic to some extent, particularly with reference 
to dairy products, at a conference about feminism, vegetarianism, and the 
tactics of advocates: Friends of Animals' conference on 9-10 July in New 
York City is outlined at www.friendsofanimals.org
(click "Foundations of a Movement").

And I have the pleasure of adding here that bioethicist Dr. Richard Twine 
will be coming from Lancaster University to talk about genetic modification, 
commodification of animals for food... Richard, who I believe is a 
subscriber to this list, maintains and writes for the ecofeminist web ring 
and E-journal: www.ecofem.org

Ecofeminist writer Brian Luke will also be speaking about feminism and 
hunting.

Happy to discuss any issues that arise with the paper, whether on list or 
off list.

Cheers,

Lee Hall
(Friends of Animals; Adjunct Faculty of Law, Rutgers University)
