Sink Your Teeth into Ethical Fun with the Ottawa Veg Ball
Felicia Moursalien — December 4, 2011 — Social Good
Being a vegetarian can be especially hard when going out because no one puts that much effort into the meat-free options and vegetarians often feel down (and hungry) from stuck eating dry carrots, but the Ottawa Veg Ball is a social event that will not have that problem. This gala is not exclusively for vegetarians, but it does celebrate the lifestyle choice that more and more people are taking on for animal cruelty, environmentalist or sometimes just personal health reasons.
The proceeds from the Ottawa Veg Ball will go to charities New Moon Rabbit Rescue and Rideau Valley Wildlife Sanctuary to help out the world's four-legged friends. The event is an interesting one as it markets to a demographic that is on the rise. Interestingly, fake and real fur is all the rage this winter. High profile vegetarian and animal cruelty events such as this one are an smart response to the fashion world.
