One Voice is rallying in December for International Animal Rights Day
For International Animal Rights Day, One Voice is organising around twenty joint protests in France.
From 9 to 30 December, One Voice is inviting animal rights activists, associations in particular, to come together for International Animal Rights Day, the exact date for which is 10 December. Marches, but also information stands involving distributing documentation and signing petitions, will be happening in around twenty towns in France to raise awareness among citizens of the fights that are happening and to lead the way for wildlife and its inhabitants. More than thirty-two partner organisations are joining in with the various activities being organised by One Voice. And specifically with the Parisian march, where elected representatives and numerous association representatives will be present.
In each of the twenty towns involved, we will protest as a unit for all animals’ rights, who are so violently trampled over in absolutely all areas of human society.
Performances, food and drink, hobbies, fashion, habitat… we will make a stand to represent them!
We are bringing the voices of all victims of hunting to the streets, whether it be red foxes or carrion crows condemned to death by the State, who has put them on the list of ‘species likely to cause damage’, badgers and their young hunted down into their setts, bears and wolves demonised and wiped out, or even birds having to flee from bullets, cages, nets, and stone traps.
Shaken by the recent death of orca Moana, we will hammer home our opposition to circuses and dolphinariums who still exploit so many individuals that are trained to submit by being hit to entertain a few people. For them, we are still and will always ask for a transfer to sanctuaries for a decent life.
We will also stand alongside all animals captured in the wild and subjected to reproduction which only ends inside the walls of laboratories, where they are subjected to ever more numerous and painful experiments. But also with bulls, who are victims of bloody bullfighting performances, horses being hit at equestrian centres, animals exploited and killed for their flesh, fur, or skin, stray cats neglected by the State, and all of those that are the subject of shameful commercialisation in puppy parlours or illegal trafficking on the Internet.
For the rights of all those who One Voice and its partners have been giving a voice to for years, our activists will be among the public in Amiens, Aix-en-Provence, Brive-la-Gaillarde, Chambéry, Metz, Limoges, Troyes, Paris, Port-de-Bouc, Commercy, Strasbourg, Nantes, and Falaise on 9 December, then in Hortes and Objat on 9 and 10 December, in Marseille, Nice, Gap, Bordeaux, and Montpellier on 10 December, and finally in Lille on 16 December. Together, we are once again coming to their defence.
