Animal rights activists holds demonstration on exploitation of animals
The HinduA group of animal rights activists from Mysuru and Bengaluru gathered near Chikka Gadiyara in Mysuru, on Saturday evening, to hold “Freedom for All”, an event that sought to throw light upon the immense sufferings inflicted upon animals by humans. The public was also shown video footage of “suffering and cruel deaths” caused by human beings’ exploitation of animals for food, clothing, entertainment, experimentation etc. Conversing with the public about veganism, the organisers said, “Veganism is not a diet choice, but a social justice movement that recognises that animals are sentient beings and therefore should not be treated as commodities – not just for food, but also all the other ways in which they are exploited – for clothing, entertainment, experimentation, etc.,” says Amjor, one of the event organizers. “Through ‘Freedom For All’, the movement seeks to instill a profound sense of responsibility towards animals and ignite conversations that challenge the status quo,” the statement from organisers added.
