Meat strike by French VIPs during Copenhagen summit.

 

 

Starting just ahead of the Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, ten distinguished personages from France have issued a declaration titled The Call of the 10.

 

The members include French film director Jean-Paul Jaud, distinguished journalists, respected environmental organization heads, and three Members of the European Parliament. 

Their document demands recognition of the impacts of meat on the environment, human health, and animal suffering.

Specifically, the public is being invited to boycott the meat industry, and to press for a moratorium on intensive livestock farms as well as strong policy measures to reduce animal agriculture.

The declaration states that rising levels of meat consumption are causing global warming, resource waste, pollution, deforestation, soil degradation, hunger of over one billion human beings and the slaughter of billions of land and aquatic animals.

 

Supreme Master Television spoke with leading activist Fabrice Nicolino, French journalist and author of the book, Bidoche, the Meat Industry Threatens the World. Bidoche refers to a cheap form of meat.  (In French)

 

Fabrice Nicolino French journalist, author of Bidoche, the Meat Industry Threatens the World:

I am looking forward to the governments, and political leaders talking about this issue, as well as the NGOs and individuals, to finally open this debate, which is an essential discussion that concerns us all. We must stand up; we must have the courage to say that these threats are so important, so disturbing, that it is time to react in a clear, decisive and determined way. I think that if a new consumer movement comes to life, and if this movement has as a priority to make the livestock industry disappear, then maybe we will have a chance to stop this infernal machine before everything explodes.

 

We are grateful, Mr. Nicolino and all government and civil leaders for your urgent clarion call to eliminate the unsustainable meat habit. May world citizens and leaders everywhere act swiftly for a healthy, green, survived planet.
