The World Weeks for the Abolition of Meat (WWAMs) are intended as a means of promoting a political debate around the idea of abolishing the production and consumption of sentient beings and other animal products.

The next World Week for the Abolition of Meat [ http://www.meat-abolition.org/en/wwam] will be held from 21 to 27 May, and we hope it will be an opportunity for a larger worldwide mobilisation.

We are doing a 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.

More informations and possibility to announce your own events on the website www.meat-abolition.org
You can also join us on facebook [ http://www.facebook.com/pages/Meat-abolition/247106198663377].

We look forward to hearing from you!

instead of wasting your life eating the world's most boring diet option why not have a lovely well cooked rump steak, pink in the middle and running with juices.

Life's far to short to waste it being a Vegan or Vegetarian.

one of the most pointless attempts

at starting a global movement.

I LOVE MEAT, EVERYONE I KNOW LOVES MEAT. Sorry for the caps, it's just you radical veggies and vegans don't seem to realize this. (Yes, I know some do.) But come on, stop trying to tell me what to do.
I as a meat eater; someone who consumes other life forms to continue the existence of my own, fully undertstand that the mainstream meat business is a fundamental pillar which props up capitalism. It is also inhumane and a crime against nature. But - if I go out and kill some rabbits, hares, pigeons and maybe a deer to provide food for myself and family, that is my own choice.

If you wish to then try and kill me for killing animals, so be it. See where it gets you.

caring, but pointless

Really ?

Amazed at the time some people have.

Not even the most optimistic Vegan (oxymoron ?) can possible believe the world will go meat free. Even the rates of vegetarians is falling across the world but despite this they are happy to spend time and money on such a lost cause. This is at a time when we face real major problems that affect peoples lives.

If the time and energy spent on lost causes like this was diverted to things that matter like the campaigns against the cuts we could make real changes.

You don't get to "draft" campaigners

Sorry Reggie, but there is something fundamentally wrong with your way of thinking.

"This is at a time when we face real major problems that affect peoples lives. If the time and energy spent on lost causes like this was diverted to things that matter like the campaigns against the cuts we could make real changes."

EACH OF US gets to choose what are the real/important issues. You don't get to "draft" these people to your cause any more than they get to draft you to theirs.

That their cause might be hopeless? Sure yours isn't? (not that it makes it any less worth while to fight on). Or how about yours being irrelevant in the larger scheme of things? After all, in the face of ecological collapse might argue that fighting over which humans get more and which less sort of like arguing over well padded deck chairs vs having to sit on the deck as the boat goes down.

People get to have opinions

And, of course, there is freedom of expression and speech.

If someone calls the campaign a waste of time or whatever - that is their right.
