THE EQUINOX CELEBRATION OF PLANETARY RESTORATION

Beginning on Thursday, March 21 at 6:00 A.M,. Pacific Standard Time, an 
individual referring to himself as "Hugh Mann", will undergo a 72 hour 
continuous fast inside of a "veal" crate to focus attention on the impact 
that meat consumption has upon our planet and its inhabitants.  During 
this time, he will keep continuous silence.  He will stay blindfolded for 
a great deal of the period, except when he needs to perform certain 
activities that do not allow him todo so, such as communicating with 
people by writing.  He will continue this, without leaving the cage for 
any reason whatsoever, just like the unfortunate baby calf, born and 
raised solely and unnecessarily to be eaten as veal, until Sunday, March 
24 at 6:00 A.M.  His statement, which will be on a sign on the outside of 
the cage, is: "I am silent because I believe the evil that we, as a 
people, inflict upon this planet and upon its innocent inhabitants, is 
cruel beyond words and speech.  I am in a cage and I am blindfolded 
because I believe that as long as sentient beings are ruthlessly tortured 
and slaughtered, we, as a people, are in bondage and in darkness.  I fast 
for the millions of our sisters and brothers, who will die of starvation 
because the grain that I believe should have fed them was fed to animals 
destined for slaughter."

It will be conducted at Second Nature Restaurant, located at 4652 Mission 
Blvd., Pacific Beach, in San Diego, California.  Second Nature will be 
open continuously for the 72 hour period and will be hosting a 72 hour 
candle light vigil, 72 hours of drumming, poetry readings, letter 
writing, petition signing, and lots of positive vibrations and positive 
global intentions.  On Sat. the 23rd, there will be a program of 
important keynote speakers, such as David Jubb, renowned Raw Foodist, 
Healer, Shaman, and Health Educator;  Scott Wohl, "The Holistic Personal 
Trainer", activist, writer and educator on proper, balanced vegetarian 
lifestyle;  John Finch, herbalist, author, and head of The Self-Heal 
School of Herbal Studies; and many others (possibly including a few 
celebrities and famous activists!).

It is being supported by the Farm Animal Reform Movement, Earth Save, San 
Diego, Second Nature Restaurant, Peoples Market, The Green Store, Last 
Chance For Animals, San Diego, The Vegetarian Association Of San Diego, 
Club Veg Of San Diego, The Self-Heal School Of Herbal Studies And 
Healing, People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals, Kelly Paper, and 
Animal Advocates.  We are seeking other sponsors of any type.  Your help 
in any way is greatly appreciated.

The beginning of this fast will coincide with The Second Annual Worldwide 
Solar Ceremonies For Planetary Awakening, where individuals all around 
the globe will be placing positive intentions to create a harmonious 
future, in the frequencies of the new year according to the Mayan 
Calendar, that begins each spring.  Please send out positive thoughts and 
intentions at this time, as well as sending positive and    supportive 
thoughts and vibrations to "Hugh Mann" as he undergoes this fast for the 
whole planet.  If you are not a vegetarian, try not to eat any meat, 
fowl, fish, eggs, during this time (not eating dairy would also be best). 
 If you are really hard-core and find yourself moved and motivated by 
this Gandhi-like example, please fast along with "Hugh Mann".  Many 
others will be doing so.  If you can, please join us in San Diego at 
Second Nature.  Finally, here is a chance for you and everybody else who 
is so inclined to finally do something for what you believe in instead of 
just thinking, dreaming and talking about it.  Join the Equinox 
Celebration Of Planetary Restoration and help restore our planet to a 
state of complete harmony, peace and tranquility.  Every thought, action, 
and word will help immensely!
