We also hand out small cards which contain fantastic information that can help the public do their own investigation about veganism and how it can not only save animals, but help the planet as well, if done correctly, a plant based diet can also help people THRIVE and that is just a triple win win. Activists hold screens or signs (the signs may say things like “come to see why were here” or “find out how you can help animals today”) while wearing blind folds. We do this via the Socratic method, which is a line of questions that help non-vegans reach their own vegan conclusion at the end. What does that involve?Ī Save Square is an activism event which revolves around showing footage of animal abuse and holding the public accountable for their day to day actions which may hurt animals. We know it does that for us.Ītlanta Animal Save was one of the first chapters to use “Save Squares” in their activism. It encourages others to do more and be better.

Animal Save Movement is on a mission to hold animal vigils at every slaughterhouse on the planet and bear witness to every exploited animal. Leo Tolstoy defined the moral duty to bear witness as: “ When the suffering of another creature causes you to feel pain… come closer, as close as you can to him who suffers, and try to help him.” Atlanta Animal Save describe the importance of bearing witness for both vegans and non-vegans, and how they are using Save Squares to open hearts and minds by revealing the horrors and secrecy of the slaughterhouse to their local community. ![]()
