Flashmob "Do not eat me!"

July 17, 2010 - vegetarians and vegans "GREEN IZHEVSK" was organized by gay and colorful flash mob. The main purpose of this event was the promotion of a vegetarian lifestyle among the residents of Izhevsk. The modern man is simply no need to consume meat, supporting and encouraging financial meat industry, which each year claims the lives of billions of animals! Vegetarianism should be the norm of life of every sane person!

On a hot and sunny July afternoon two groups fleshmoberov appeared at predetermined locations.Wasting no time, the guys put on face masks of animals and put on a cardboard sign reading "Do not eat me!". Well, then, both groups went on their routes, to eventually meet in the heart of the city. In parallel, the activists were distributing leaflets and all the discs with movies on the topic of vegetarianism, and also told people about the essence of ongoing activities and all the horrors of the meat industry.

The reaction of passers-by were very controversial: some people reacted very negatively, while as always no arguing their displeasure, and others on the contrary, expressed their appreciation and interest.One girl, seeing fleshmoberov, said: "I trupoedka!". To the question - "Is this cause for pride?" She did not find an answer, and silently walked away.

At the end of the event, both groups fleshmoberov met at the appointed place. The children discussed holding action, took into account all the pluses and minuses of such events and talked about plans for the future.At this time in the flash mob attended by 11 people, among whom were seen three calves, two pig, two sheep, two chickens and two rabbits. The event took place without any negative incidents. In the course of action was distributed to about 400 flyers and 100 discs with movies, broadcasts and videos on the veg-topic.
