Occupy Italy Animals Organize an event and Collateral alternative Cortona Italy. At the Steak Festival, dated from 14/16 August 2012
The objective is to promote, once again, the idea that the production and consumption of the body of the animals should be abolished.
The demand for abolition of meat is the logical consequence of vegetarianism or veganism. People who are against the bull, for example., Do not just ask the public to boycott bullfights: demand that they be prohibited. Campaigners against foie gras do not just ask people not to buy it: they want the forced feeding of geese is prohibited. Because those who are opposed to the flesh are the only individual to be confined to giving advice?
From the point of view of movement, refusing to eat meat can be regarded as a political boycott, as an expression of individual support abolition. In Britain, the late 18 th century, during the movement for the abolition of slavery, 300 thousand people boycotted sugar produced by slaves on plantations.
The movement for the abolition of meat expresses a political approach: its purpose is to bring the public to subscribe to the idea that meat should be banned. The goal is that human societies, one after the other, they decide to ban the production, sale and consumption of meat.
The idea is to claim loud and clear that not only has the responsibility of each individual to stop supporting the murderous exploitation requested by the consumption of animal bodies and "animal derivatives", but that is also, therefore, a duty of any society as a whole to declare
In favor of the ban on the rearing, fishing and hunting.
