Why a "space vegan" in Madrid? Because
"How long you have this idea? What is your previous experience in the world of veganism or animal rights?
We had years with the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating a space for dissemination of vegan awareness in which we could also offer - as a way of financing - from non-abuse, cruelty and killing of nonhuman animals for the purchase of clothing and footwear.Our previous experience in the world of veganism comes from the hand of anarchism has always been connected with the spread of consciousness from the world vegan anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist. In this regard, Space MIM work in the same struggle for veganism and sustainable production methods and self-managed.
Your space is called MIM, which stands for "meat is murder." Do you believe in the provocation as a form of awareness? Between "Broccoli is Love" and "Meat is Murder" (also a title track of the music group The Smiths) we identify more with "Meat is Murder." We believe that ethics is more suitable for our project, MIM Area not define ourselves as animal lovers and that is why we include love in our discussion did not seem honest. As defense the rights of non-human animals is linked to love for all human beings, we believe that the defense of non-human animals can not be subject to the love of every one of them. We and we're not vegan for love, well love is fleeting, we are vegans because we believe it is unethical to torture or kill an animal to satisfy our desires as human animals, as much pleasure or benefit that this will entail. The interests of animals should be respected and can not stay on the sidelines.
What do you hope to gain from this project?
For us MIM Area, as well as our contribution the spread of vegan awareness, learning is a self-management of our lives and our work. Us and we are convinced that another world is possible, a world free of exploitation of human and nonhuman animals as if we actually contribute something to make it happen, what will hopefully come. What impression you hope to take a non-vegan who enters your store?
MIM believe that space offers - like many other projects - one more chance for many people to get closer to veganism and put aside all the topics with which it comes. At the very least, we hope that the person can not understand vegan clothing and footwear as well without having to resort to torture and kill products that hundreds of thousands of nonhuman animals to date. The Space
MIM understand that all changes require time - with our products and our activities we work to make every day that time is shorter.
What you offer to vegans and vegan?
What we offer to the vegan community, as well as clothing and footwear without having flown a multitude of shops to make sure the product you buy is free of animal exploitation, is an open forum for like-minded people who want to use our space for the spread of veganism and activism for the rights of nonhuman animals. In our area also may find a range of cultural exhibitions, lectures and workshops in our interest that people have been enjoying practically every day of the week.
What do you think of the various forms of activism for animal rights?
For our ideological and political trajectory, we have a clear vision about the different forms of activism for the rights of nonhuman animals and understand that everyone is free to organize itself as it sees fit, or the way that best conform to their way of seeing things. In Space MIM believe in self-management solidarity, direct action and mutual support, and these four concepts we apply not only in the struggle for non-human animals but in all aspects of our lives. Us and we understand the struggle for animal liberation as an integrated control in the global struggle for our emancipation and workers. What future
auguráis veganism in the near future?
in this country believe that veganism is yet to grow when compared with other European countries, and in that sense, we are optimistic about the outcome we observe and with which they hope will start seeing soon, especially with regard to proliferation of more space Vegans and awareness of individuals.
All activities and / or action against speciesism and freedom is small, and only through the daily struggles and the construction of alternatives to this exploitative society of human and nonhuman animals can move towards a world free of animal exploitation, sustainable and self-managed.
