World Week for the Abolition of Meat – A report from Italy
28 towns answered the call for action for the Abolition of Meat, planning events on January 30-31, with 30 events.
An extraordinarily large number of veg*ans participated by demonstrating against farming, hunting and fishing: 100 persons in Milan, 50 in Pordenone, dozens in Rome, Bologna, Bari...
The activists created effective happenings: performances about animal’s slaughter, about reclusion in farms, video from slaughters. In some cities, activists offered people “human meat” packets. Veg*ans didn’t just spread ethical food practices: they openly claim, speaking about meat abolition, the end of the ongoing slaughter!
We handed out thousands of flyers and texts about meat abolition (available here: http://aboliamolacarne.blogspot.com/2010/01/materiali-per-la-seconda-giornata.html ).
Complete reports with photos and videos from each town will be available at http://aboliamolacarne.blogspot.com (photo gallery here: http://picasaweb.google.it/abolizionecarne).
The Italian Network for the Abolition of Meat wishes to thank all the activists for their contribution and hopes to see them soon.
We are happy to inform that the next week for the Abolition of Meat is planning on May 23-29!
We will publish details about the planned events soon.
