[Guest guest]

This item speaks for itself without comment from me, but I must say I am

delighted to have this message.

The Next World Day for

the Abolition of Meat will be held on 30th January 2010.

 

The World Day for the Abolition of Meat is intended as a

means of promoting the idea of abolishing the murder of animals

for food. Worldwide six million sentient beings are killed for

their flesh every hour! That figure doesn't even count the fish and

other sea animals, which of course are included in the demand for the

abolition of meat. Meat consumption causes more suffering and death

than any other human activity and is completely unnecessary.

 

Many

groups will mobilize to promote the abolition of meat (and other

animal products). They will not only advocate vegetarianism and

veganism to individuals but will call for society to abandon the

practice of killing animals for food. We hope that this initiative

will strengthen the animal rights movement over the years. It is

important to address people not only as consumers but also as

citizens like the anti-slavery activists who, although only a small

minority, not only sought a boycott of sugar produced by slaves but

also clearly expressed the idea that slavery should be banned.

It is important today to question society as a whole about the murder

of animals for food so that it can no longer avoid a public debate on

the legitimacy of this practice.

 

On 31 January conferences,

street actions, leafleting and information stands will be organized

to spread the idea that the consumption of meat cannot be justified

ethically and should therefore be abolished just as human

slavery was in its time.

 

Here is the video of an original

action that can be used for the world day, made by Swiss activists in

2007 (other groups are welcome to use the same format):

--

Because meat production involves killing the animals that are eaten,

 

because their living conditions and slaughter cause many of them to suffer,

 

because eating meat isn't necessary,

 

because sentient beings shouldn't be mistreated or killed unnecessarily,

 

therefore,

 

farming, fishing and hunting animals for their flesh, as well as selling and

eating animal flesh, should be abolished.
