Jan 2011 World Week for the Abolition of Meat - A report from Italy

28 towns answered the call for actions for the World Week for the Abolition of Meat and organized 30 events on January 30th and 31st.

An extraordinarily large number of veg*ans took part in the WWAM 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 slaughter and about reclusion in farms, video projections of animal slaughters. In some cities, activists offered people “human meat” trays. Veg*ans didn’t just spread ethical food practices: they spoke about meat abolition and openly demaned 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.
