„Life is life–whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man’s own advantage.” – Sri Aurobindo
For cosmetics without animal testing
We called people to sign up for a
European citizens’ initiative without animal testing in production of cosmetics, and thanks to all of you, we managed to help tens of millions of animals who are still suffering because of cosmetic products or their ingredients, that is, over a million necessary signatures were collected in order to start the procedure for legal changes.
Enjoy your meal at the 14th ZeGeVege
We have announced the 14th consecutive ZeGeVege festival of sustainable living, which will be held on Friday, September 23 and Saturday, September 24, 2022, at Ban Jelačić Square. In addition to an extensive educational and entertainment program, this year Zagreb’s main square will also tempt passers-by for two full days with a variety of exhibitors offering exclusively plant-based healthy food, eco-products and cosmetics that have not been tested on animals.
They die of heatstroke on the chain
We have created a new website www.boljizakon.net, where we have explained in detail the proposals for legal changes to prescribe a complete ban on keeping dogs on a chain, the introduction of the so-called Positive lists, ban on keeping wild animals in private captivity, a complete ban on animals in circuses, the introduction of mandatory castration of dogs and cats and other changes. We were reminded that callous individuals tie dogs to a chain to “guard” the field and leave them to suffer in unbearable heat.
Petition to ban bottom trawls
Plant-based milk tastes like cow’s milk
On the occasion of World Plant Milk Day, which is celebrated on August 22, we organized the distribution of free coffee with various types of plant milk at Ban Jelačić Square. We also presented a new full-fat plant-based milk that tastes like cow’s, and passers-by could learn about the great benefits of plant-based milks from appropriate visuals.
In the long run, they choose veganism
Athletes Bojan Kuljić, Ana Štefulj and Igor Drašković invited to the 14th ZeGeVege festival of sustainable living through campaign posters. With the slogan “We choose veganism in the long run“, they emphasize that they are equally persistent and persevering in both veganism and running, and invited everyone to come to ZeGeVege to make sure that vegan food is ultra-food for ultra-endurance. They emphasized that everyone should decide on such a diet, for the sake of themselves and the animals, but also before climate change overtakes us.
Stop speciesism
On the occasion of the World Day for the Abolition of Speciesism, we walked through the center of Zagreb with a banner on which the message “Let’s choose food that didn’t have eyes” was highlighted. Speciesism is species based discriminative behavior that can be resisted through compassionate living and veganism. Just as our society wants to end sexism and racism, we need to act in the same way towards speciesism.
