Il politico con un'etica** "Se gli animali potessero votare, a quest'ora sarei diventato Primo Ministro." **Tony Banks, Membro del Parlamento** [**IVU News - Issue 1-96**](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews/5432-news-1-96-index.html) - [*English*](https://ivu.org/international-vegetarian-union/resources/interviews/5439-news-1-96-politician.html) Ma le altre specie non votano, quindi i loro interessi vengono per lo più ignorati. Per questo Tony viene considerato il "peone" del Parlamento Britannico, dove spesso è l'unico a parlare a favore degli animali. Denuncia crudeltà ed ingiustizie, sia che si tratti di uomini o di altre specie, tutte le volte che ne ha l'occasione e, recentemente, ha denunciato pubblicamente gli orrori delle condizioni in cui vengono trasportati gli animali, della caccia, della distruzione dell'ambiente naturale e delle altre forme di sfruttamento al Parlamento Britannico e al Consiglio di Europa di Strasburgo. Tony, che è un vegetariano convinto, ha recentemente proposto una serie di leggi per promuovere la cultura del vegetarianismo nel Regno Unito. Sebbene il Parlamento abbia accolto la proposta, il provvedimento non mai completato l'iter legislativo necessario per mancanza di tempo. Tony ha a cuore tutte le creature, anche quelle più piccole e insignificanti. Recentemente ha infatti presentato una petizione a favore dei piccioni di Trafalgar Square, che sebbene famosi ed amati quanto le colombe di Piazza San Marco a Venezia, corrono il rischio di essere eliminati da operatori senza scrupoli, ansiosi di ripulire la piazza per le loro speculazioni commerciali. Anche se non si parla ancora di "eliminazione" vera e propria, il numero di piccioni della zona continua a diminuire rapidamente, tanto che si teme che vengano avvelenati subdolamente. Per inoltrare la propria protesta a favore di questi uccelli bellissimi e inoffensivi, scrivere a The Secretary of State for National Heritage, 2 Cockspur Street, London SW1Y 5DH, UK. Fax: (44) 171 211 6032. O contattare: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, 22 Stephenson Way, London NW1, UK. Fax: (44) 171 388 4925, l'organizzazione responsabile della petizione. Sono bene accette anche lettere dall'estero, poiché i piccioni di Trafalgar Square sono una delle più importanti attrazioni turistiche di Londra.

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: 1665 ### Vegan Recipes - [![Vegetable Curry (Kenya)](https://ivu.org/media/zoo/images/vegetable-curry--kenya--1777938201_9001339ebf899f2af142aa90c30dae6d.jpg "Vegetable Curry (Kenya)")](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/item/vegetable-curry-kenya.html "Vegetable Curry (Kenya)") #### [Vegetable Curry (Kenya)](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/item/vegetable-curry-kenya.html "Vegetable Curry (Kenya)") [Protein Rich](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/proteiin-rich.html) [Main course](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/main-course-for-lunch-and-dinner.html) [Kenya](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/kenya.html) [African](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/african.html) -
