Mass Action Against the Animal Industrial Complex
2024-08-07 , Marquee
Language: English

Industrial animal agriculture is one of the most ecologically destructive industries, emitting more greenhouse gases than the entire transport sector. Frequently targetted by animal rights activism, this industry is however seldom the focus of climate- or ecology-focused mass action movements. This workshop aims to provide a discussion space for exploring the possibility of targeting animal agriculture through disruptive mass action movements like Ende Gelande; a space for thinking the factory farm or the slaughterhouse in the same vein as the LNG terminal or the coal mine. We'll explore the value, challenges and possibilities for these kinds of actions as a group, creating a basis for their further development within the movement.

Together we have backgrounds in food systems, animal studies, climate justice and political ecology.
