The March to Stop the Animal Industry in Brussels, Belgium, was held by the non-profit animal-people rights organization Bite Back Belgium, on Sunday, June 18th, 2023. The 3-kilometer march passed through iconic Brussels locations, including a 15-minute stop at Muntplein or Place de la Monnaie, a major square in central Brussels that is home to the National Opera of Belgium, and looped back to end at Brussels Central Station.The demonstration began with a rally and a speech by Jo Dirix. “We need to engage in protests, pressure campaigns; we need to target the government and companies. We need to convince individuals to stand up for animals, like we do, and then ask them to go vegan.”Leading the charge was a large banner that read, “STOP THE ANIMAL INDUSTRY” and passionate activists with loud voices. Chanting boomed through the streets in French, Dutch, and English. “What we want: rights for and the liberation of animals, is not a radical idea. It reflects what we want as a society: compassion and moral progress.” Some of the signs included: “All animal products involve suffering and death. ALL OF THEM.” The demonstration looked like a sea of red and black as they traversed the streets, wearing the Bite Back organization shirts.Supreme Master Ching Hai (vegan) has often stated the immediate need to ban all animal-person exploitation industries. It is the only path to everlasting peace and happiness on Earth. “Please stop all the hunting of the poor animal-people. […] They know God more than we do. […] All living things want to stay alive until God calls them Home. So please, please Be Vegan, Make Peace. […] If we don’t live according to God’s Commandments and Will, then nothing will last, including this whole planet. I just hope that you really realize that saving the animal-people from death and agonizing torture daily is to save your soul and your relatives, your friends -- all your loved ones.”
