DESCRIPTION:It is a sad assessment that, despite the fact that the animals used for 
 food represent almost all the animals exploited, they are extremely 
 invisibilized.  It is up to us, activists, to make their lives and their 
 miserable destiny visible and to present prospects for putting an end to 
 their slaughtering.  It is up to us to proclaim that it is morally 
 necessary to abolish the exploitation of animals used for their flesh.\n 
 \n\n\n\nCall for the upcoming WWAM: from May 21 to May 28, 2011\n \n \nAs 
 you know, the World Week for the Abolition of Meat 
 (http://www.meat-abolition.org/en/wwam) organized at the end of January 
 which was very successful 
 (http://www.meat-abolition.org/en/event/2011-01/closing_communique) was 
 organized in both Americas, in Asia and in Europe.\n\nThe next WWAM 
 (http://www.meat-abolition.org/en/call) will take place between May 21 and 
 May 28, 2011.\n\nThe aim is to promote again and again the idea that the 
 production and consumption of animal flesh must be abolished 
 (http://www.meat-abolition.org/en/presentation).\n \nWe will take action as 
 long as the demand remains necessary.\n\nOur societies have to pronounce on 
 the unjustifiable character of meat consumption from an ethical viewpoint: 
 it involves sacrificing the basic interests of innumerable sentient beings 
 whereas eating meat is unnecessary.\n \nThe idea is to claim loud and clear 
 that it is not only the duty of each individual to stop supporting the 
 murderous exploitation required by the consumption of animal flesh and 
 "by-products", but that it is also, therefore, the duty of societies as a 
 whole to declare themselves in favor of the banning of farming, fishing and 
 hunting.\n\n\n\n \nIf you're committed to making our shared cause progress, 
 starting today, you may:\n \n1) plan actions for this upcoming WWAM and 
 publish announcements of your actions on this form 
 (http://meat-abolition.org/publish) -- this is essential for 
 promotion!\nYou can find material here: 
 http://www.meat-abolition.org/en/resources.\n\n2) post this call, circulate 
 it widely and publish it on the indymedia (http://www.indymedia.org/) in 
 the various towns of your country (please let us know about your 
 publications by sending us an email at 
 contact(at)meat-abolition.org);\n\n3) contact the media about the demand 
 for the abolition of meat and about the events that will be organized 
 around it;\n \n4) print and distribute leaflets 
 (http://www.nomoremeat.org/material/Flyer_Abolition_of_Meat.pdf) and 
 brochures (http://abolir-la-viande.org/pdf/meat-abolition.pdf);\n \n5) send 
 in your logo (maximum 150 pixels for length and width) if you have one so 
 that it can be published on the "partakers" page 
 (http://www.meat-abolition.org/en/supporters);\n \n6) make contributions on 
 the subject (such as analysis texts, fiction, poetry, drawings, films, 
 performances, banners, etc.) that may  get published on the website.\n
