Two members of Igualdad Animal stripped off, covered themselves with blood and served themselves up on polystyrene trays
Two animal rights activists held a naked protest today in the Puerta del Sol in the centre of Madrid.

Lying down covered in blood as if in polystyrene packaging the two were from the Igualidad Animal group, and were defending vegetarian cuisine on the International Meat-free Day.

The group has carried out similar protests in the past, say the objective is to publicise the suffering of animals, and to remind people when they eat meat it comes from a living being which has no doubt suffered and lived its life in reclusion.
