The international march for animal liberation was originally conceived in Tel Aviv, where animal rights activism has surged and the vegan population has increased to 5% over the past nine months.

Following the protest, we will go to Dublin's vegan restaurant, Lurve, to show that there is another way, more compassionate and more ecological.
