Anonymous for Animal Rights, the leading animal-rights group in Israel, marked International Animal Rights Day in Tel Aviv by protesting factory farming. On December 14, nude activists covered themselves in plastic wrap as part of an exhibit symbolizing frozen meat. Other activists protested the Agriculture Ministry’s plan to build battery cages using taxpayers’ money. The animal-rights organization argues battery cages do not respect Israel’s animal-welfare laws, and further states that these cages are supposed to be outlawed by the EU within three years and are already banned in 30 countries. According to Arbel Barak, the protest’s organizer, “Our intelligence does not justify abusing creatures that are considered inferior.”
