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!

Rennes (France), 21-05-2011
On Saturday May 21st, on the "Place de la Republique" in Rennes, France, Nea
organised an information stand and a "human meat tray" action as
part of the World Week for the Abolition of Meat.
On our stand we saw:
- Meat eating passers-by, who wondered about the actual meaning of our demand
for the abolition of meat
- People who were seeking our help in order to stop feeling guilty: "the
animals that I eat were brought up in good conditions."
- A woman who lost her senses when she saw the tray of human meat with all
the blood: "What are the police up to ?!"
- An animal breeder who confirmed for us that dairy cows are killed once they
reach the age of 5 because they produce less milk after that point,
being at their limit, exhausted, and broken.
And there were many discussions to do with the abolition of meat, the legitimacy
of eating meat and the reasons why it is not any better to consume free range
animals. And of course we got the same old question from
those who are reluctant to question their own meat eating habits, "But
what would
we do with all these animals if we stopped eating them ?"
The claim for the abolition of meat is a good way to get people to question
their daily eating habits. It brings about some surprise, misunderstanding
and irritation in some people, but also in others, some understanding
and support.
(The petition was signed!).
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.
