| peta2 Swear Jars?
"Swear jars" are a fascinating to me. Basically, you put money in there each time you swear. And we figured that we might as well help you save up some money for a good cause while giving you an incentive to keep the profanity out of your vocabulary. Your parents and teachers will probably love it, too!
The way this works is as follows:
1. Print out this label, cut it out, and tape it onto a jar or container.
2. Set the swear jar in your kitchen, living room, classroom, car, or wherever you think it's likely to be useful!
3. Drop a dollar (or more) into the jar every time you swear. Encourage your family and friends to participate, too!
4. Once the jar is full, use that money towards a good cause. Some suggestions include becoming a peta2 donor or treating yourself to an animal rights t-shirt or hoodie!
5. Once you do that, keep it going. There's nothing but good that can come from this, so let's make it happen!
If you have any pictures of you and your swear jar, send them along to StreetTeam@peta2.com and we'll give you a bunch of Street Team points just for trying it out.
And yes, I realize you can swear up a storm on purpose if you just want an excuse to fill your jar ... that's up to you!

| peta2 Sticker Cake!
Check out this super cute and delicious looking vegan cake that peta2 Street Teamer Melissa made!
Melissa told us that she and her best friend have a tradition where they make one another a birthday cake as a birthday gift, and that since she and her friend are both vegans, she of course made it vegan! She chose to use the golden vanilla cake recipe from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World (for other vegan cake ideas, check this out). Melissa topped the cake off with a lemon butter cream frosting (vegan, of course) that she added raspberries to for that lovely pink color.
I absolutely love that she got creative with her peta2 stickers to decorate the cake by taking two of the same sticker and sticking a toothpick between them. The cake definitely sent a strong message to the rest of the party!
What kind of animal rights message would you like to add to the top of a delicious cake?

I really love the 10 for $10 tour because it's bringing together old and new hardcore fans in appreciation of the music and the hardcore community—and what isn't awesome about seeing Trapped Under Ice and Madball play the same stage for ten bucks?! Not only will this episode have interviews and live footage from bands like Poison The Well, Madball, Terror, Death Before Dishonor, War of Ages, Trapped Under Ice and The Ghost Inside, but you'll also get to see several music videos from the bands involved in the tour. If hardcore is your music of choice, be sure to check out the show which airs on Saturday at 2 AM ET/PT on MTV2.

| Bunnies Drowned at Petland - Warning: Disturbing Image!
This image was taken in the back room of a Petland store in Akron, Ohio, and posted on Facebook by Elizabeth Carlisle. She can be seen grinning as she holds two dead, soaking-wet rabbits by the scruff of the neck—rabbits she just drowned while working at Petland.
When asked by a Facebook friend if she drowned the rabbits, she replied "[T]he manager took the pic for me. [S]he reminded me that there were people outside as [I] was swearing at them to just hurry up and die but then she was so kind as to take this picture." She has also stated that rabbits in the store were allowed to "attack and eat each other." The bunnies suffered from "deep wounds all over," "an eye missing," what Petland staff "suspected was a broken jaw," and paralysis from the waist down.
The store has closed, following our complaint, but PETA investigations have revealed time and time again that companies that breed and sell animals are concerned about profits, not animals' well-being.
Please take a moment to send Petland a message, asking the company to end all rabbit sales immediately, by clicking here!
