Extending and Inspiring Compassion

The Winnipeg Humane Society’s Farm Animal Compassion committee presents Nikki Chapen’s free public lecture: Inspiring Compassion, Putting our Ethics on the Table. The lecture will take place in the WHS Classroom on Thursday, September 1 at 7 p.m.

Chapen’s talk will focus on understanding the animals we often think of as food and extend our circle of compassion to include them.  She also addresses factory farming practices and provides information and tips on making more compassionate food choices.

Chapen and her partner Trevor are Winnipeg’s Volunteer Outreach Coordinators for Mercy For Animals. Chapen is an animal rights activist who has devoted her life to speaking out for animals in the food, fashion and entertainment industries.
