More:Bhopal: The call given by People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) to Muslims to observe a vegetarian Eid this year has failed to find favour with the community. Instead, it met with violent protests by Islamic groups today.
Benazir Suraiya, a volunteer of PETA, had appealed to the Muslims to ‘go vegetarian’ on Eid. She had placed her request at one of Asia’s largest mosques – Taj – ul – Masjid.
Benazir adorned a green hijab to promote vegetarianism and walked towards the Mosque with other PETA volunteers. They all held banners that read “Make Eid Happy for All Try Vegan”.
