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), 29 Jan 2011
LausAnimaliste organized events for the World Week for the Abolition of Meat.
On Saturday 29 January, an information stall was held all day. A lot of people came by as they were attracted by the large "meat abolition " banners and interested in discussing the isue. Most of them were aware of the issue of meat through the release of the translation of Safran Foer's book, which received a lot of coverage in the French-speaking media.
Starting at noon, a "choir for the abolition of meat" went around the city singing a famous song by Boris Vian entitled "Les Joyeux bouchers" ("The Happy Butchers").
Flyers were distributed, and a national radio (Couleur 3) came to record the singing and to ask the activists about the motivations for their action (the interview is to be broadcast soon).

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.
