London VEGAN events – EARTHLINGS / SLAUGHTERHOUSE Double Bill

This weekend , the heart of London , Leicester square , between the Angus Steakhouse and Burger King, become the staging ground for not one, but two animal rights protests.

“The Earthlings Experience” and  “Close all Slaughterhouses” stopped tourists in their tracks with engaging street displays , speakers and running video content.

The EARTHLINGS Experience: LONDON

https://www.fishinaboxrecords.com/london-vegan-actions-up-coming-focus-on-frampton-earthlings/

Many in the passing crowd’s that we engaged with had already made a switch to vegetarianism following increasing awareness over climate change issues caused by animal agriculture, and found that when further advised and made aware over the diary industry and fishing as staples feeds into the slaughter industry, many of them were asking themselves the BIG question …is vegetarianism enough? Should we go Vegan ?

Why Vegan ?

What’s the problem with “Drinka Pinta Milka Day” and “Go to Work on an Egg” ?

Tourists from France were astounded to be informed over the exploding “vromage” industry (vegan non dairy cheese) and three French tourists opted to go for the “tofish and chips” up at Norman’s Coach and Horses ..

Both “Earthlings” and “Close all Slaughterhouses” clarify the issue in stark black and white. The truth that slaughter for meat is not euthanasia. It is not the merciful, pain-free, terror-free ending of a long, happy life in order to spare the victim from suffering a terrible incurable disease or unbearable pain.  Slaughter is the terrifying and horribly painful ending of a short, anguished life full of disease, abuse, privation and fear and suffering, for millions of  innocent, defenseless victims deliberately bred and reared to be destroyed for consumerism, a process that is carefully concealed from the public eye.

The Meat Industry and the Slaughterhouses will not close of their own accord, The purpose of protests like “The Earthlings Experience” and “Close all Slaughterhouses” is to open people’s eyes and hearts and seeking out their humanity to do the right thing, to reject , refuse and object to animal abuse.

LONDON VEGAN ACTIONS up & coming – FOCUS ON FRAMPTON (Earthlings)

LONDON VEGAN ACTIONS up & coming – FOCUS ON FRAMPTON (Earthlings)

Getting around town to find who’s up and coming on the London scene led us to Jane Frampton who heads up London Vegan Actions. We stopped to take a look at what Jane has been up to around town and uncover a little of her story.

It all began for Jane in a meditation class when she was at drama school where she began to become more aware of how all beings are connected equally.

After practicing gratitude and acknowledging how things come into our lives, Jane one day blessed her dinner before suddenly realising that the animal didn’t want to give their life ‘The food went round and round in my mouth and I couldn’t swallow it’.

Afterwards she was compelled to find out more, and watched a video by Paul McCartney called ‘If slaughterhouses had glass walls’- she broke down right away.

Along with her sister, Jane became vegetarian, and then veganism quickly followed.

She became involved soon after in animal rights, and started a group called London Vegan Actions, which has now been going for two years and has been responsible for stopping foie gras being sold in London restaurants, stopping the sale of angora in all high street retailers and stopping the sale of tickets being sold in animal entertainment such as bullfighting.

Jane along with her sister were also in the BBC3 documentary ‘Fighting The System’ where they represented animal liberation and called on other young people to speak out about what they want to change.

WATCH THE VIDEO HERE: https://www.hightail.com/download/ZWJWcHBHcWY4aU5Yd3NUQw

Her most recent project is called The Earthlings Experience where she and other activists go on the underground and other public places wearing neutral masks and show the film Earthlings – which documents all animal exploitation such as food, clothing, animal testing and animal entertainment. The Earthlings Experience has now taken off in over 25 countries around the globe.

“The idea is that if people want to, they can look away, but the onus is on them. We’re just showing the truth. I have had abuse, but you have to remember that mostly people are fighting with themselves and are still coming to terms with what they still don’t know is really happening.”

I just want everyone to know that whatever it is you want to change, you can make a difference. I know what I’m meant to do in life now, and that’s to use my love and light to help set others free.”

The next Earthlings Experience is running from Camden Town out into the Tube Network this Saturday 12th of March 2016. Be sure to look out for it on the London Underground.

London CLIMATE CHANGE Demo & Parade NOV 29 2015

Vegans EVERYWHERE at London climate change demo NOV 29 2015

 

This Years Climate Change demo rolled out 50,000 protesters in London from anti Fracking, The Green Party, Greenpeace and an overwhelming turn out from Vegan Groups. Animal Rights platforms London Vegan Actions, FBI Animals, FISHINABOX were also seen throughout the procession raising issues around Animal Agriculture and the Cowspiracy.

Vegan Climate Change activism comes from a number of sources but mainly from the UN reports analyzing the sources of greenhouse gases being tied to 51% from Animal Agriculture (basically Cow Farts and untreated Cow waste feeding into the Sea) and that only 18% was tied back to global pollution oil and gas and petrochemicals.

The Vegan argument lies in that if people en mass stop consuming Meat Dairy and Fish that the 51%main driver for climate change will fall and that is the majority of the problem fixed. Short showers, Cycling to work and turning of the lights when you leave a room certainly is a good ethic bot will not have the same impact on slowing global warming as going vegan will have.

With the amazing range of foods , proteins and alternatives to animal products available in Holland and Barrett and Whole Foods and the now inclusion of oat milk, hemp milk, vegetable proteins hitting the main supermarkets, new vegans are finding that they don’t even see a lifestyle change , just a shift in product.

Whatever the reason for the massive upturn in vegan-ism,. one thing is sure, where 51% of the global warming problem is driven by animal agriculture, continuing to consume meat fish and dairy most certainly will only accelerate the destruction of our ECO and weather systems putting all life at risk of extinction. The question is do you care enough to be bothered to pick up the vegan product or just blindly “its not my problem” carry on ?

Going vegetarian is simply not enough to save the planet. GO VEGAN

The Power of Willful Ignorance (featuring Carol Hodge & Kate Shortt)

  By , , ,

The Power of Willful Ignorance (featuring Carol Hodge & Kate Shortt)

This Song was originally inspired by the Global Ground Breaking ExposE on UK advertising techniques used to normalise Factory Farming,

See the original video that inspired the song: www.ciwf.org.uk/truth “Think you aren’t being fooled by advertising tricks? Take a look at this so-called expert revealing food marketing’s secret weapon.”

Organizations such as Animal Aid have worked tirelessly on exposing malpractice and issues of Ethics in the UK farming Industry though the well financed and omnipresent marketing machine wielded by the farming industry with its official government sponsor’s continues to peddle the deception.

After investigating publically released footage by Animal Aid http://www.slaughterhousecctv.org.uk/ , London Vegan Action Groups and FISHINABOX pooled our efforts and made some of our own investigations , findings justified the writing and release of this song and Film footage will be featured in the Offical Song Video for “The Power of Willful Ignorance”

OUR FINDINGS…….

NO AMOUNT OF MARKETING MAKES FACTORY FARMING ACCEPTABLE

heidi head on a plate WEB

THE POWER OF WILLFUL IGNORANCE
People – will believe anything you say
As long as you say it with a smile
People – they just don’t want to know the truth
They just want to know that everything’s alright

But I don’t want to rely upon
The third hand information that I’m fed
No I don’t want to hear another sound byte
That simplifies the problems up ahead

If you eat me(at), at least have the guts
To look me in the eye
And recognize
That something’s died
Something’s died

She takes her free trade coffee white with two
She likes her chicken skinned and vacuum sealed
The halal-kosher debate is none of her concern
A dozen eggs are cheaper from a shed, not a field

The chew that’s in her fruity sweets, the milk that’s chocolaty
The crush of insect red that stains her hands and teeth
The dolphins in her tuna, the human screams of pork back leg
The fluffy yellow orange red of males who hatched the egg

But who is she to argue?
She’s greased the trolley wheels
She’s priced out of the market
And her budget simply cannot yield

Two dozen sugared biscuits
Are cheaper and more filling
Than one organic piece of fruit
So what would you decide?

If you eat me(at), at least have the guts
To look me in the eye
And recognize
That something’s died,. Something’s died
