This past weekend, CWI held our 2nd Vegan Village of the year, which we hosted at the Sunset Park'd Festival in partnership with Clark County Parks and Recreation! We were able to bring 17 vegan vendors together to be a dominate force in an otherwise "omni" festival. Glad to see a couple thousand vegans show up with friends and family to expose them to the awesome world of being cruelty-free! In 2019, we are planning to do two Vegan Village events, as well as our Vegas VegFes

As a ongoing new feature, CWI will bring together a collection of incidents that have compromised the health and safety of animals confined in zoos.
