Hanno sfilato da piazza Dante a via Mezzocannone: «È importante rispettare i diritti degli animali»
Sono scesi un piazza anche a Napoli, sfilando con pochi abiti e con le mani sporche di vernice rossa, gli aderenti alla rete «Animal Save» per chiedere la salvaguardia degli animali e una dieta vegetale. «Stiamo affrontando una crisi climatica ed ecologica mortale e dobbiamo agire ora per il benessere di tutti i terrestri. L’agricoltura animale è una delle industrie più distruttive e dannose del pianeta. La produzione e il consumo di carne e latticini sono la forza trainante del cambiamento climatico, dell’esaurimento delle risorse, dell’estinzione delle specie e di molte ingiustizie sociali», hanno detto i manifestanti.
I diritti degli animali
In occasione della Giornata della Terra l’organizzazione Vegan Earth Day March ha indetto una serie di iniziative programmate in più di 50 città in tutto il mondo. In Italia la marcia si è tenuta oggi a Napoli con un corteo che, partito da piazza Dante, dopo aver attraversato piazza Carità, si è concluso davanti al Laboratorio climatico autogestito Climax, in via Mezzocannone. La marcia è stata organizzata dal movimento Animal Save Italia in collaborazione con Fridays For Future Napoli e ha tre obiettivi principali: promuovere una transizione verso sistemi alimentari a base vegetale; far conoscere il Laboratorio climatico autogestito Climax; attirare l’attenzione sui diritti degli animali.
