Who would have thunk it? Sounds lovely 
There will be a VEGGIE PRIDE MARCH in Cape Town NEXT SATURDAY 15TH MAY from 11am, exact details to follow, but it will be about an hour or so.
We want banners, pickets and if you can make / hire a vegetable cozzie to wear or a suitable veg tee shirt / hoodie that would be fantastic. I would like this to be a fun event promoting the idea of Veghood. I will get this onto Radio to get public involvement.
PLEASE SEND THIS TO YOUR DATABASE and let’s see about numbers – let me know if you are keen?, as soon as you can! I have to have an indication of numbers for the permit anyway.
Who would like to organise one in Jhb, KZN, PE or anywhere else? Let me know!
What is the Veggie Pride?
The Veggie Pride is a demonstration held each year since 2001 in France, and since 2008 in Italy. Its purpose is to express publicly the existence of those who refuse to eat animals and their solidarity with the victims of animal exploitation and slaughter.
International definition of the Veggie Pride
1. The demonstration must be centered on the refusal to eat animals out of regard for the animals. Other motives to be a vegetarian ‚Äî the environment, health, the third world… ‚Äî must be either left out altogether or be given a clearly subordinate status.
2. The Veggie Pride must be a demonstration of individuals, who come to demonstrate as individuals. Associations and other groups may be present, but in a subordinate manner, for instance by participating in activities organized outside of the main demonstration.
3. Those individuals come to express the fact that they do not eat animals out of regard for the animals; and that they deem that right.
4. The participation in the demonstration is open to any person who refrains from eating animals out of regard for the animals (whether or not that person has additional motives to be vegetarian).
5. The demonstration asks society to accept an open debate on the issue of the consumption of meat in relation to the violence that it implies against the animals.
6. The demonstration is non violent, and, if possible, legal.
light and peace
