Please join activists worldwide for the World Week for Abolition of Meat from 20 – 26 September, 2010!

The past world days for the abolition of meat were a huge success. And as we know that this demand is a very important one we decided to hold this day on a more regular basis. So starting from now actions should take place in the week of the last Saturday of the months of January, May and September. This means the next action week will be from 20 until 26 September, 2010.

On the occasion of the past action days various events were held in over 50 cities in following countries: Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, England, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, South Africa, Switzerland and the USA.

Many thanks to all individuals and animal rights groups who 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!

We believe it is high time to make a public demand for the abolition of meat. However, this demand should not be valid during 3 weeks a year only, but by accumulation of the number of happenings locally, nationally and internationally.

It is also time to bring together our forces and make the animals´ suffering as visible as possible. And it is about declaring the goal that finally needs to be discussed by our societies without any tabu: Abolition of breeding, hunting and fishing.

Let´s hope that the number individual actions keeps on growing in more and more places and the same should apply to our ever-growing determination, imagination and visibility.

Please join the coming World Week for Abolition of Meat from 20 until 26 September.
