Close All Abattoirs & Campaign for People to Go Vegan for World Vegan Day

What the petition asks
1.2 billion animals are slaughtered each year in the UK. In addition, almost one billion fish and 4.4 billion shellfish are killed each year in the UK. Requiring abattoirs to close and encouraging everyone to go vegan, even just for one day, may not save them all, but it could at least save some.
Having been introduced to veganism and the facts about the horrific slaughter of animals for meat and other animal products, some people could decide to go vegan for life, or at least the foreseeable future.
Closing down all the abattoirs in this country even just for one day could give thousands/millions of animals a reprieve.
I also urge the UK Government to take advantage of this day (1st November) to encourage people to go vegan for life!
