I believe the image of women presented within this event is quite offensive, because it seems to suggest that it's possible to replace the pleasure derived from possession of the body of animals with the sexual possession of the body of women.
About this I recommend the reading of "Sexual politics of meat", by Carol Adams. Furthermore this event has nothing to do with the real Veggie Pride, which takes place in France and Italy.
@JogBird Many vegetarians are vegetarian for different reasons, such as health. Some are also selfish hyprocrites who say killing animals is wrong, yet still hang on to their leather products from before they went vegetarian, or even continue to buy it. Other, more serious (or truly ethical) vegetarians, or vegans, use synthetic materials for their belts, shoes, bags. You can't assume that everything you saw was real leather. Lots of faux out there :).
What about killing vegetables? They have life like animals too. Vegetables can’t make noise like animal doesn’t mean that they are dead. Who is gonna fight for them?????
@ndyt Never heard a thing about animal rights from this video. Just seems like a bunch of veglovers shouting go 'vegetarian' holding go vegan signs. I guess it's cruel to consume them, but you can still enslave them.

After watching, I still have no clue what animal rights means. That should have been explicit! Other than that, awesome job
@ndyt They would be rescued animals since so many animals are dying in shelters. An animal rights activist wouldn't buy an animal from a breeder or pet store when shelter animals are dying.
I wish I could be there! So much fun!

We don't own pets, they own us and keep us in touch with the dao.

@ndyt Really? You're pretty much saying you eat animals from a shelter. Do you consume dogs and cats?

@Day0fDarkness, that is the same as saying that the animal is going to die anyway, might as well eat it.
