\u201cThousands of animals die every day under deplorable conditions for the taste of their flesh, generating immense profits [\u2026] In a world where the extermination of the defenseless [animals] is the norm, we refuse to be part of it. We refuse to passively watch the slaughter and fight with fire,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n
