19-27 January 2013 :

Greetings!

We'd like to remind you that the next World Week for the Abolition of Meat (WWAM) will take place between January 19 and January 27, 2013.

Many public events will mark the World Day for the Abolition of Meat celebrated on 26 January.

Preparation for this campaign is on its way, and we're hoping that, like previous years, numerous actions will be organised simultaneously throughout the world.

We are working to prepare the population to respond to a moral imperative – a minimum requirement of justice – by abolishing the practices which cause the most  suffering and death: the consumption of animal flesh (particularly fish, who make up the majority of these victims).

Therefore, we call on you to participate in this new global campaign of actions!

Post your action announcements here! 

Because the production of meat involves killing the animals that we eat,
because they suffer from their living conditions and killing,
because the consumption of animal products is not a necessity,
because sentient beings must not be mistreated or killed unnecessarily,

farming, fishing, and hunting, and the sale and consumption of animal products should be abolished.
 

We look forward to hearing from you,

Worldwide promotion of the demand for the abolition of the production and consumption of animal flesh;
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.

The aim is to promote again and again the idea that the production and consumption of animal flesh must be abolished.

Advocating the abolition of meat is the logical extension of vegetarianism or veganism. People who are against bull-fighting do not only ask the public to boycott bull-fighting events, they ask for bull-fighting to be banned. The opponents of foie gras do not only advise people against buying it, they want force feeding to be banned. Why would the opponents of meat be the only ones to restrict themselves to giving individual advice?

From the point of view of the movement, the refusal to eat meat can be seen as a political boycott, as an expression of one’s support of abolition. In Great Britain at the end of the 18th century, during the movement for the abolition of slavery, 300,000 people boycotted sugar produced from plantations with slaves.

The movement for the abolition of meat is a political approach: its aim is to get the public opinion to adhere to the idea that meat should be banned. The objective is that human societies, one after another, decide to ban the production, sale, and consumption of meat.

The idea is to claim loud and clear that it is not only the duty of each individual to stop supporting the murderous exploitation required by the consumption of animal flesh and "by-products", but that it is also, therefore, the duty of societies as a whole to declare themselves

for the banning of farming, fishing and hunting.
