Peta undertakes human slaughter at Marble Arch on World Vegan Day

Peta undertakes human slaughter at Marble Arch on World Vegan Day

Peta have tried to show the public that killing animals for food is inhumane and unnecessary, by undertaking a pretend human slaughter in London. Two men were strung upside down and had their throats slit in the name of veganism. Meat is a product of a bloody and violent industry with no respect for living beings who value their lives and experience the same pain and terror that humans would if they were killed for a steak, says Peta Director Elisa Allen. This World Vegan Day, PETA is calling on caring people everywhere to stand up for whats right and switch to delicious and cruelty-free vegan meals. Peta – whose motto reads, in part, that animals are not ours to eat – has documented that chickens and turkeys throats are cut while theyre still conscious, piglets tails are cut off without painkillers, cows are hung upside down and often skinned alive, and calves in the dairy industry are taken from their mothers within hours of birth. On the decks of fishing boats, fish slowly suffocate or are cut open while theyre still alive. Nov 1, 2016

Uber currently has 40,000 drivers working in London. Nov 1, 2016
