Snails released from Halkiadakis supermarket chain

Snails are the only animals sold live in supermarkets. Most are hibernating, huddled together somewhere next to the vegetables. A few have woken up and are sticking out their antennae that find stacked shells and nets. If they had a voice, you would pay attention to them. Somewhere between fasting, gourmetism and Cretan tradition, the next stage is to buy them, soak them, get rid of the dead ones and boil the rest alive.

We “see” the rest of the animals in the supermarket dead in the refrigerators and on shelves. Their chopped and packaged bodies and derivatives are passed by in the aisles, since for the depraved human-consumer, this horrible reality is a common sight.

Rhodes, Dying in a slaughterhouse

Slaughterhouses are factories of death. No power, no system, no habit legitimizes the slaughter of innocents. Every living being has the right to life — without exception, without negotiation.

[Ρόδος] Βαψιματική σε σφαγείο

από ALF

Τα σφαγεία είναι εργοστάσια θανάτου. Καμία εξουσία, κανένα σύστημα, καμία συνήθεια δεν νομιμοποιεί τη σφαγή αθώων. Κάθε έμβιο ον έχει δικαίωμα στη ζωή — χωρίς εξαιρέσεις, χωρίς διαπραγματεύσεις. Δεν ζητάμε, απαιτούμε. Δεν υποχωρούμε, συγκρουόμαστε. Ο αγώνας μας δεν τελειώνει μέχρι να γκρεμιστεί και το τελευταίο σφαγείο. Μέχρι να πάψει η βία να είναι κανονικότητα.
