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!

Report of your actions:
This past Saturday, June 4th, as part of the World Week for the Abolition of Meat (WWAM), about ten of us militants were gathered for a giant "human" meat tray action at la place de la Republique. The goal of the operation was to create an analogy between the body of a human animal theatrically dead on a tray and the body of a dead animal that one can buy in a tray at the supermarket so as to draw attention to the fact that the buying and consumption of meat should never be considered commonplace. One of our militants was thus sprawled out on a tray; her body was covered in fake blood while other militants held signs or distributed tracts to inform the public as to the goal of our action (around 700 tracts on the abolition of meat were distributed). We had a visit from a journalist from M6 and a photographer from La Depeche who both stayed quite a while so as to gather a sufficient amount of information.
