SNBL USA [owned by the Japan-based Shin Nippon Biomedical Laboratories] is a contract research facility headquartered in Everett, WA that has a horrifying record of animal cruelty and faulty science. Each year, SNBL tests on thousands of animals--dogs, rabbits, mice, primates, and others--who are subjected to violent and careless treatment. SNBL imports almost 3,000 monkeys each year for experiments, and these individuals suffer and die inside the walls of the Everett facility.
Please join Action for Animals, NARN & Seattle Animal Defense League and be a part of the demonstration outside of the Everett lab to let the company know that they cannot hide animal cruelty behind the label of research

Stop on in and buy some fantastic vegan baked goods to benefit two great local organizations and check out the shoes, chocolates, and many other great items that The Chocolate Shoebox is carrying!
BAKERS NEEDED!
Their success depends on the generosity of local bakers donating their fabulous baked goods. They would be so excited if you could help by donating a baked good item. Baked good items must be vegan, meaning no eggs, dairy, honey or any other animal derived product. Each item must be individually wrapped to limit hand to food contact. An ingredient/allergy list is needed too. Also, mark if an item is gluten free.
Contact chocolateshoebox@gmail.com or call 206-972-3122 to be registered as a baker.
In the spirit of Valentine's Day, they are also going to have their chocolate fountain out with yummy vegan items to dip. What's more romantic than chocolate covered strawberries? A vegan cookbook raffle will also be held!
