SACRED COW: THE CASE FOR BETTER MEAT

Created by Diana Rodgers

At our grocery stores and dinner tables, even the most thoughtful consumers are overwhelmed by the number of considerations to weigh when choosing what to eat—especially when it comes to meat. Guided by the noble principle of least harm, many responsible citizens resolve the ethical, environmental and nutritional conundrum by quitting meat entirely. But can a healthy, sustainable and conscientious food system exist without animals? Sacred Cow probes the fundamental moral, environmental and nutritional quandaries we face in raising and eating animals. In this film, we focus our lens on the largest and perhaps most maligned of farmed animals, the cow.

Happy 4th of July!

I just wanted to send a quick update to let you know that we are 10 days away from publishing the book, Sacred Cow. For those of you who selected a perk that includes the book, you should be getting your books within the next 2 weeks.

Also, the film is about a month away from completion! Once it's done, we will be sending out a limited time private link for you to view the film. Keep your eyes peeled on your inbox... We're also offering a preview link to anyone who pre-orders the book and submits their receipt to me by July 14th at www.sacredcow.info/book

Please tell your friends so they don't miss out on this special offer!

Meanwhile, please take a look at the new trailer we just finished:

I'm so thrilled to have your support. This project is only possible because of you.

Thank you and enjoy your weekend,

Diana

Hi, again!

Thank you to all who have completed the BackerKit survey!

For those who haven't, please check your inbox and confirm your information as soon as possible to prevent any delays in the shipment of your perks.

If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://sacred-cow-the-case-for-better-meat.backerkit.com.

Thanks, again, for being so responsive to answering our BackerKit survey—even though it may not seem like much as an individual backer, you have no idea how tremendously helpful this has been for me when trying to keep track of all 991 of you!

Have a great week!

Meg

Hi Backers!

Thank you for making our project a reality! A few things need to happen before we can kick off t-shirt production and perk fulfillment.

By now, you should have received an email from us with a special link to your BackerKit survey. It’s important to respond to your survey as quickly as you can since we need this information to fulfill your rewards.

You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to fill out your survey. You should have received an email including the survey, so simply click the survey link to respond. Answer the questions about your reward preferences, provide shipping information, and purchase add-on items if you like.

After you respond to your survey, you can go back later and change your responses at any time before we close the surveys at the end of the month to get our final counts and your perks to your door.

If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://sacred-cow-the-case-for-better-meat.backerkit.com.

If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Indiegogo account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact support at https://sacred-cow-the-case-for-better-meat.backerkit.com/faq.

BackerKit helps save us time by streamlining the survey process, automating data organization, and providing us with accurate information to make it easy to process your pledge reward shipments.

It might not seem like much, but completing these surveys is tremendously helpful - THANK YOU!

As always, your support and encouragement are incredible. Thanks, again, and please feel free to reach out with questions!

Hi again!

 
Thanks to you all, we raised over $100,000!
 
I'm continually grateful for all of the support you folks give me and this project. You showed up, pledged your support, and showered me in encouragement.
 
Thank you.
 
For those of you who donated or claimed a perk, you will receive a short survey from BackerKit this week to confirm your information so we know exactly where to send your preview link and perks.
 
As soon as you confirm with us, your perks will be on their way to your door and you'll be added to our "First Peek" email list.
 
Again, thank you. Projects like these require a lot of hard work and support - if you or someone you know would still like to contribute to the campaign, please feel free to direct them to this page!
 
Every cent and high-five goes directly to this project.
 
Thanks, again, and stay tuned for an email from BackerKit!

My deepest thanks to all of you who've donated and shared this campaign - your support means the world.
 
Before this comes to a close and I send out surveys to you to verify your information for your perks, I'd like to ask for one final rally!
 
Will you share this campaign with your friends and family!?
 
The top referrers will be rewarded with even more prizes in addition to their perks, so now is the time to share, share, share!
