Love-based activism: Second Vigil at the Ettelbruck Slaughterhouse
On 10 September 2018, Luxembourg Animal Save organized its second vigil in Ettelbruck.
The Save Movement uses the strategy of bearing witness to animals in their final moments as they approach slaughterhouses, live markets and auctions. It uses a love-based community-organizing approach based on non violence, love and truth as informed by Leo Tolstoy and Mahatma Gandhi. It advocates veganism and activism, namely the idea that everyone has the duty to bear witness.
The participants witnessed the arrival of trucks with cows, sheep and pigs. We looked into the eyes of these pigs, a few moments before their deaths.
