Appello per la Giornata Mondiale per l'Abolizione della Carne



Il 31 gennaio 2009 avrà luogo la prima edizione della Giornata Mondiale per l'Abolizione della Carne.

Cos'è la Giornata Mondiale per l'Abolizione della Carne?

La Giornata Mondiale per l'Abolizione della Carne vuole promuovere presso il grande pubblico la rivendicazione politica di abolizione dell'assassinio of animals for food. Six million sentient beings are killed worldwide every hour (!) To be turned into flesh, without even counting the massacre of fish and the suffering of cows and laying hens, recluses, exploited and finally killed at a young age.

The consumption of meat and animal products cause more suffering and death of every other human activity, though not at all necessary.

Many collective will mobilize to promote the prospect of the abolition of meat. It will not simply encourage individuals to become vegetarians and vegans, but say, before society, the practice of murder animals to eat them should be abolished . We hope that this initiative will strengthen the movement of animals over the years. It is important to contact consumers asking them not to buy animal products, but we must begin to turn also citizens, as did the activists for the abolition of slavery: they, despite being in the minority, not only asking people to boycott sugar produced by slaves, but also explicitly expressed the idea that slavery should be abolished. It is important now clearly challenged the whole society on the subject of meat, so that it can no longer avoid the consequences of a debate public on the legality of this practice.

On this day of awareness will be organized conferences, actions in the streets, leafleting, information tables, to spread the idea that the consumption of meat is not justified from an ethical point of view and therefore must be abolished - in the same way that human slavery was abolished.

This is the video of action for the abolition of meat, produced by Swiss assets in 2007 (which of course can be taken up by other groups): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z iUs0kaDB0-.

The notes of your actions will be published on this site: www.nomoremeat.org .

Coordination for the World Day for the Abolition of Meat hope to see you next January 31 to use your voice for animals.

Estivales de la question animale: Resoconto della discussione sull'abolizione della carne


The last day of Estivales de la question animal was devoted to discussion on 'abolition of meat. After an assessment of the movement in the world, the people present decided to launch a World Day for the Abolition of Meat, whose annual date was set for 31 January. It was decided to set up Internet a new group, organized on a discussion list, in order to organize events specifically for the peaceful abolition of meat.

In the afternoon, Isabelle Ponsonnet developed the idea of \u200b\u200ba march to the abolition of meat and against speciesism, which could take place every year and each time focusing on the case of a specific animal raised and killed for their meat. Such a march would take place in April and May and, for the year 2009, have as their objective the factory farming of rabbits in support of L214 campaign against rabbit meat, it was proposed that this march will take place in a period equivalent to the life of a rabbit. The idea was greeted with enthusiasm and a small committee has undertaken to work towards its realization.

Una minaccia per i posti di lavoro?

One of the objections to the abolition of meat is that it, leading to a reduction of jobs, would constitute a threat to employment. Still, market fluctuations and the technology of agricultural labor are increasing already because of layoffs and closures.

For example, in early April 800 people protested in Pontivy in Brittany against the closure of a slaughter of turkeys: 238 people are in danger of losing their jobs due to a change of ownership that led to the closure the establishment, for which you have not found a buyer.

According to the general census of agriculture 5th completed in late 2000 by ISTAT:

"As of October 22, 2000, the Italian farmers engaged in the rearing of livestock are to be 675,835, 26.1% of the total. It is a figure of 35.2% lower than that observed in 1990, indicating the abandonment of farming practices on the part of a large number of companies. The analysis by the total area shows, however, that the contraction has affected a much more significant small and medium businesses (up to 10 hectares) and to a lesser extent large companies (more than 10 hectares). "(The main results )

In other words, small businesses close, probably because of competition from large and small farmers lose their activity because of restructuring of industry. He could accept the data as positive in the direction of extinction farming, except that the decrease in the number of farms not matched by a proportionate reduction of livestock . In fact, the same document states that:

"The downsizing of the livestock sector is also evident in terms of size of farms, although reductions in livestock numbers have been generally less marked than those of companies that raise them. [...] As a result of the dynamics on the number of breeders and companies to the number of cattle reared the average size being significantly greater in 2000 than in 1990 . The average number of cattle keepers and 35.2 per head, while it was 24.1 at the time of the previous Census. etc.. "(Ibid. )

The decline of small farms thus leads to a higher concentration of animals in large companies, or to an intensification of factory farming, the criteria, as is known, is to produce the greatest amount possibile con i costi più bassi possibile.

Va sa sé che tali criteri mal si conciliano con la tutela dell'occupazione. Paradossalmente, proprio quelle riforme dell'allevamento che gli animalisti chiedono per migliorare la qualità della vita degli animali implicherebbero probabilmente l'effetto secondario di far aumentare la disponibilità di posti di lavoro: ma tali riforme procedono così a rilento da far pensare che l'incremento di occupazione nel settore zootecnico non occupi un posto di rilievo nell'agenda delle istituzioni europee e nazionali, non più del benessere degli animali allevati...

Di conseguenza, abolire la carne non implicherebbe probabilmente una catastrofe occupazionale, ma accentuerebbe una crisis that is already underway for strictly economic reasons.

On the other hand, if the protection of the military is not a compelling reason to tolerate wars, it is not clear why the animal husbandry, which is obvious and direct cause of endless suffering to nonhuman animals, should enjoy a considered more benign.
