The Initiative marked the day with a provocative drive in Zagreb. Apart from Croatia, such drives were simultaneously held in Germany, France, Italy, Canada and the United States.
The aim of the event is to raise awareness of the most widespread and most active form of discrimination - speciesism, the Initiative said, adding that meat, milk, eggs, leather and products tested on animals are all products of speciesism - discrimination based on species.
The Initiative Stop Speciesism has been active four years, raising its voice every day for the rights of animals, non-speciesism and veganism.
