This protest is for Bill and Lou, 2 oxen who have worked for 10 years at Green Mountain College, which now wants to kill and eat them. VINE sanctuary [blog] in Springfield, Vermont has offered to take Bill and Lou, but the college insists that eating them is the best thing to do.
Whatever your motivation is, ALL are welcome who support Bill and Lou not being sent to slaughter!
The whole world is watching!
