With a more well defined boundary, the list has expanded to include a total of 36 restaurants. All of which offer vegan options.
Among the new highlights include China Road, Empire Brewery, LoFo and the fayetteville King David’s.
Check it out on our eating out page.
South campus express in Goldstein finally has Daiya cheese in stock. This comes a couple weeks after one of our members asked if they could add it to their stock. Enjoy!
Hey Everyone,
Due to the warning from the below email, I think it would be best to cancel the meeting tonight. I don’t think it would be safe for anyone walking or riding bikes to campus, and the likelihood of a loss of power would make it impossible to watch Peaceable Kingdom.
We will continue our weekly meetings next Monday.
Stay safe and getting some studying done!

Rescued rat needs a home
A Syracuse Animal Rights Organization volunteer is currently fostering a 1-2 year old male hooded(black and white) rat. He was surrendered into foster care due to aggression toward his cage mate. He is a very well socialized male rat, who enjoys human attention. There is a $3 adoption fee per rat to help cover supplies used for the care of this rat. A phone interview is required to determine potential adopters have adequate housing and a plan for the last 2-3 years of their lives. Contact Amber at alcoon@syr.edu if you are interested in adopting.
SARO cat foster program
SARO is attempting to assist the low cost spay and neuter clinic Spay and Neuter Syracuse (SANS) with the abandoned cats who were just left carriers in the parking lot. There are different colors, sexes, and temperaments, and they would all love to be in a foster home instead of living in a medical space that is not prepared to house cats. If you live off campus(dorms do not allow animals) and would like to foster a cat or two for the semester, email Amber at volunteer@spayandneutersyracuse.org Supplies such as litter boxes, food and litter can be provided if needed.

Dear Friend,
Great things are happening for animals across New York. I’m the New York State Director of the Humane Society of the United States and I’ll be hosting several free events throughout Upstate New York next month. I hope you’ll join me to learn how you can take action for animals. Check the list for an event near you and click the links to get more details and to RSVP.
The U.S. Congress and the New York state legislature will be considering legislation that would significantly impact animals, such as a bill to help strengthen animal fighting laws and a bill to stop the proliferation of puppy mills in New York. We want you to know the most effective ways to get involved and communicate your message.
I’ll hold two Lobby 101 seminars — Dec. 7 in Ithaca and Dec. 8 in Watertown. Lobby 101s will provide you with basic, but effective, lobby techniques for citizen activists and provide information regarding some of the bills and issues being considered this year.
I’ll also hold two grassroots meetings — Dec. 9 in Syracuse and Dec. 10 in Albany. At these grassroots meetings, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss current issues affecting animals and receive an update on animal protection legislation in which HSUS is currently engaged.
All events are free of charge, but an RSVP is requested to attend. Click on the links to learn more and to RSVP now.
Hope to see you at one of these events!
Sincerely,
Patrick Kwan
New York State Director
The Humane Society of the United States
