El Político Etico** "Si los animales tuviesen derecho a voto, yo ya sería Primer Ministro." **Tony Banks, Diputado** [**IVU News - Número 1-96**](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews/5864-spanish-news-1-96-index.html) - [*English*](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews/5439-news-1-96-politician.html) Pero las demás especies no poseen derecho al voto, de modo que sus intereses son ampliamente ignorados y Tony sigue ocupando uno de los escaños posteriores del Parlamento Británico, donde la suya es a menudo la única voz que se hace oir en defensa de los animales. Habla en contra de la crueldad y la injusticia donde las haya - ya sea hacia humanos o hacia otras especies - y ha tenido mucho que decir tanto en Westminster como en el Consejo de Europa en Estrasburgo sobre los horrores del transporte animal, la caza, la destrucción de hábitats y otras formas de explotación. Un vegetariano comprometido, Tony presentó recientemente una legislación para promover el vegetarianismo en el Reino Unido. La medida fue aceptada por el Parlamento para su consideración, pero no consiguió completar todas las fases necesarias por falta de tiempo parlamentario. Ninguna criatura es tan pequeña o insignificante para su atención: una reciente preocupación ha sido la crisis de las palomas de Trafalgar Square - tan famosas y bien amadas como las palomas de San Marcos en Venecia, pero actualmente bajo amenaza por los partidarios de limpiar la plaza para dejar espacio a empresas lucrativas. Se supone que una "matanza selectiva" está simplemente "bajo consideración", pero las poblaciones de la zona están disminuyendo y se teme que las aves estén siendo envenenadas subrepticiamente. Para hacer constar tu protesta por la amenaza hacia estos pájaros bellos e inofensivos, escribe al Secretario de Estado para el Patrimonio Nacional: The Secretary of State for National Heritage, 2 Cockspur Street, London SW1Y 5DH, UK. Fax: (44) 171 211 6032. O contacta con: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Personas por un Trato Etico hacia los Animales), 22 Stephenson Way, London NW1, UK. Fax: (44) 171 388 4925, que están coordinando una moción. Las cartas desde el extranjero serán especialmente bienvenidas puesto que estas aves son una de las atracciones turísticas más conocidas de Londres. \[*En Mayo de 1997 Tony Banks se convirtió en Ministro de Deportes*\] - Otros [**Políticos, Estadistas y Activistas**](https://ivu.org/hv-people-culture-people-politics-index.html) - de Vegetarianos Famosos --- Toda contribución a IVU News será bienvenida.

The history section of this website is drawn from a body of legacy content originally compiled by John Davis, former manager of the International Vegetarian Union. It represents his curation of historical material, and in places includes passages written by him directly. Over the years, the IVU website has migrated between several different hosting servers. In the course of these migrations, a number of PDF files were unfortunately lost, and **some links to PDF documents may no longer function**. Where this is the case, we have chosen to leave the original link text in place, as it may itself carry information of historical value. - Hits: 1202 ### Vegan Recipes - [![VEGAN FRIED BANANA, OAT CAKE](https://ivu.org/media/zoo/images/th10%20678_efda21e51ac89653b975d22955e96eb6.jpg "VEGAN FRIED BANANA, OAT CAKE")](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/item/vegan-fried-banana-oat-cake.html "VEGAN FRIED BANANA, OAT CAKE") #### [VEGAN FRIED BANANA, OAT CAKE](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/item/vegan-fried-banana-oat-cake.html "VEGAN FRIED BANANA, OAT CAKE") [Breakfast and brunch](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/breakfast-and-brunch.html) [Desserts](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/deserts.html) [Vietnam](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/vietnam.html) [Stir Fry](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/fake-meats-tofu-etc-2.html) -
