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.
