World Weekend for the Abolition of Meat: April 17 & 18, 2010!
Please join activists worldwide for
the World Weekend for the Abolition of Meat on April 17 & 18, 2010!
The 2nd edition of the World Day for the Abolition of Meat
that took place on January 31, 2010 was a huge success!
Various events (including awareness actions, street performances, speeches
and protests) were held in over 50 cities in the following countries: Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, England, France, Germany, India, Ireland,
Italy, Portugal, South Africa, Switzerland and the USA. Many thanks to all the animal rights groups and individuals that raised their
voices for the cause of the oppressed animals and expressed the idea that our societies have to ban the killing of animals for food!
It was really important for us to know that on the same day people in various places throughout the world were making the same political
demand: we have to stop the mass murder of animals.
Following this huge success, we are now promoting another weekend of actions on
behalf of the animals exploited and murdered for human consumption.
We believe it is high time to make a public demand for the abolition
of meat by increasing the number of happenings both locally and internationally.
We are hoping for a larger number of activist events
in more and more places as well as ever-growing determination, imagination and visibility.

World Weekend for the Abolition of Meat on April 17 & 18, 2010!
