20200920 This afternoon Animal Rebellion NL held funeral procession through the streets of Den Bosch, carrying the coffin of Our Future, and mourning for all the life on earth destroyed by the animal agriculture industry. This city is in the heart of the industrial faming complex in the Netherlands, with resulting air toxicity several times higher than is allowed by the WHO. There are twice as many pigs as people here, and human life expectancy too is shortened by the massive waste pollution. In this country 650 million land animals per year killed by these industry: 1.8 million a day…more than 1000 a minute. Animal Rebellion met harsh, and even physical police repression from the outset. The funeral procession gathering was disbanded on threat of mass fines, and we were told to walk to a park, where we could then hold the procession. However when we agreed, we started to walk we were also threatened with arrest and our way was barred by multiple police cars. Even passerby’s stopping to watch what was happening were told they would be arrested if they didn’t leave. Finally they let us walk a route outside the city centre, to the park, where we re-grouped and held our silent procession. We had lots of positive feedback from the public, and many stopped to talk to us, or march with us. The action ended with songs, music and speeches. Join Animal Rebellion and demand that the government must
#tellthetruth about the massively destructive impact that animal farming has on our planet and all who live here. Join Animal Rebellion and demand that the government act now, and transition to a peaceful,
#plantbasedfoodsystem, re-foresting our country, and co-existing with other animals. Join Animal Rebellion and help us take back our power, move
#beyondpolitics, and choose life.
