On March 20, MeatOut celebrated its 35th, and perhaps most successful, year.
MeatOut is an annual international campaign supported by the non-profit organization Compassion Over Killing. The event encourages people to explore vegan eating and learn about the benefits of a plant-based diet on personal health, the environment, and animals.
Additionally, vegan food samples are given out and restaurants are encouraged to offer vegan menu options. This year, over 100 events were held around the world by restaurants, advocates, and organizations.
MeatOut was also celebrated on social media this year. Jessica Carter, COK’s Vegan Food and Lifestyle Coach, hosted a live Facebook cooking tutorial demonstrating a variety of delicious vegan recipes, including sloppy joes, loaded tater tots, and coney dogs.
To show their support for a vegan lifestyle, social media users included the hashtag #MeatOut on their posts.
Multiple cities and one county around the U.S. declared March 20 as official MeatOut Day, including Philadelphia, PA; Pittsburgh, PA; Montgomery County, MD; Takoma Park, MD; Ithaca, NY; Kent, OH; and Albuquerque and Santa Fe, NM.
COK’s Director of Outreach and Education Simone de Lima summarized MeatOut’s success in a recent press release: “MeatOut 2019 has empowered thousands to spring into action by trying vegan eating or helping others in their community to choose healthy and sustainable vegan foods — and engaging their local governments to do the same.”
MeatOut was first celebrated in 1985 and occurs on the first day of Spring every year. It has spread to over two dozen countries throughout the world, including Germany, France, Spain, and Israel, and has gained the support of numerous celebrities, including Joaquin Phoenix, Alicia Silverstone, and Bill Maher.

France – See the disturbing videos on Angora production at:
Urge American Vintage to Stop Selling Angora
French clothing brand American Vintage sells jumpers made of angora, despite knowing that rabbits are commonly “live-plucked” for their soft fur – a process they endure repeatedly for two to three years before ultimately being killed.
PETA’s ground breaking exposé of the Chinese angora industry has caused demand for angora to plummet over the last few years, and hundreds of companies – such as Calvin Klein, H&M, ASOS, and Lacoste – have made the compassionate choice to ban the cruelly obtained material.
However, millions of terrified rabbits are still confined to barren cages, their fur is violently ripped out every three months, and once they’re no longer profitable, they’re killed – all to supply angora to holdout companies such as American Vintage.
Take Action
Please send a message urging American Vintage to go angora-free.

For years, we have dealt with this system, organized demonstrations and filed charges against the operator for various violations. And now we have unique and scary new pictures from the factory.
Because for the first time videos were made with a drone over and within the farm, which make the cruel life of the approximately 4000 minks that are held there first hand.
The images show how the animals must live in confined spaces in cages and grid floors – and understandably suffer from behavioral disorders! The quality of the recordings can feel the suffering of the animals formally.
Updated!
Today, good news reached us regarding the last mink farm in Germany in North Rhine-Westphalia Rahden! According to the latest information, the facility now seems to have finally closed the operation and thus put an end to the miserable fur production, at least in Germany!
According to the responsible veterinary office, there are no more animals in the area and no mink has to suffer more there under agonizing conditions. But even if this is a great success for the animals, millions of them around the world still have to suffer for fur production – and of course we will continue to fight against that!
My best regards, Venus
