For World Vegan Day, ‘bloodied’ activists from Mercy For Animals India Foundation dressed as ‘chicken’ lay lifelessly next to peas on a giant plate, urging people to choose vegan for animals and the planet. The message on the plate read, “Choose the Kind Side: Go Vegan”. Encouraging a plant-based lifestyle, the demonstration showed people how our food choices impact the lives of animals.
World Vegan Day is celebrated on 1 November globally each year. Veganism is the practice of eating food not derived from animals and typically avoiding the use of other animal products. The day aims to bring awareness to the ethical, environmental, health, and humanitarian benefits of a vegan lifestyle. Choosing plant-based food helps spare animals a lifetime of suffering in the food system.
Take action for animals by choosing more plant-based foods and encouraging others to do the same.
