What it is

At a vigil, activists stand outside a slaughterhouse. They document animal transports, share photos and stories of the animals, and make visible what usually happens behind closed gates.

Flow and roles

The group meets outside the slaughterhouse.
Animal transports are observed and documented.
Some people hold signs or banners for passing cars.
Where possible, the group asks drivers for a short moment with the animals.
Photos and reports are later used for public education.

For first-timers
