PAWS

The organizing committees of the Paris and Rome Veggie Pride
demonstrations share with you their hope that 2008 will see important
changes in the situation of animals. We hope that this year will be
rich in solidarity with all animals and that we will come in still
greater numbers to demonstrate for their rights and for those of
vegetarians next May 17th.

We are very happy to announce that in 2008 the Veggie Pride will be
international; in effect, thanks to the initiative of Italian
activists will be held this year the first Veggie Pride outside of
France. Thus two demonstrations will take place at the same moment,
at Paris and at Rome, on Saturday May 17th.

We hope that the Italian Veggie Pride will be a great success and
will encourage vegetarians from other countries to organize their own
Veggie Pride demonstrations.

Note that a report on the Paris 2007 Veggie Pride and a video can be

The French team expresses its hope that the 2008 Veggie Pride will be
a powerful moment for the expression of the voices demanding the
abolition of meat and that this demonstration will contribute to the
development of a global movement for the abolition of meat (see
http://abolitionblog.blogspot.com).
