Guest guest Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 The first ever Veggie Fair in Sweden has been hailed as a great success by the organisers of the event. For the first time, a Veggie Fair has been organised in Stockholm, Sweden, on June 2nd. The Veggie Fair 2007 in Sweden turned out to be a great success. The organisers of the Fair had expected 600 people to attend the event but well over that figure attended the event with an estimated 1700 people coming to the event. The event provided food, cakes, talks, film-viewings and information on animal rights. Organisers of the Fair have described the event as "a taste of what the future holds for everyone interested in a cruelty-free lifestyle. The film and lecture rooms were packed with people . . . actually the whole fair was packed! This was the first ever Veggie Fair organised by the grassroots animal rights group ‘Djurrattsalliansen’. There were people from all ages, from children to pensioners, enjoying the variety of fun, food and information available. After reviewing the feed-back forms it appears that the Veggie Fair has inspired a great number of people to become vegetarian or vegan". The spokesperson for the event further commented: "The overall positive response from visitors proves that animal rights and veggie food is the way forward! For every activist that struggles in their daily life to raise awareness of the suffering of animals this event should act as a reminder and inspiration that they are not alone! We are many that fight for a change in the attitude towards animals." Organisers of the event have pledged that the next fair we will be even better, promising a bigger venue, more stands and even more visitors. . . "until then we'll be out on the streets to show the world that animals are individuals, not products, and that vegan food is so much tastier and kinder than a diet based on pain and suffering."
