We are promoting, on a volunteer and independent basis, the demand for the abolition of the production and consumption of animal flesh throughout the world; that is to say, the prohibition of products that come from hunting, fishing and farming because they require the exploitation, suffering and death of sentient beings.
Join activists throughout the world for the January 2012 WWAM and hold actions to raise awareness for the abolition of meat!

Lausanne (Suisse), 28 Jan 2011
In Lausanne, the collective LausAnimaliste organized a silent demonstration on Friday 28 January in the city-centre.
The silent demonstration was held at night; candles were lit in sign of mourning for the more than 55 billion animals slaughtered for meat each year around the world.
About 15 people were present, holding signs asking for the abolition of meat, while a new documentary, "Behind the Doors", about the real conditions of raising animals in Switzerland, was being shown on a big screen.
Because meat production involves killing the animals that are eaten,
because their living conditions and slaughter cause them to suffer,
because eating animal products isn't necessary,
because sentient beings must not be mistreated or killed unnecessarily;
therefore, farming, fishing and hunting, as well as selling and eating animal products, have to be abolished.
