🔴 BREAKING: XR Animal blocks #Viangro, Brussels' major meat processing site. We denounce the company's #GreenWashing and gov't funding of animal agriculture.
@DavidClarinval, it's high time for a transition to a resilient #PlantBased, #SustainableAgriculture‼️

...#Viangro boasts about its progress in sustainability (e.g. new packaging) and presents itself as an #AnimalWelfare advisor, but in fact their suppliers are #FactoryFarms which sell products that are disastrous for #AnimalWelfare and the #Environment...

...The group's financial health has been deteriorating since 2013. Already benefiting from a 20,000 m² plot of land owned by @CityDevBrussels, the belgian government recently granted #Viangro a loan of €3m...

...from our research, #Viangro's annual losses have been over €4m for several years and the losses carried forward are €37m for a subscribed capital of €4m. This means that at the present pace, the company will be bankrupt within 2 years...

... in their latest report, @IPCC_CH recommends a drastic reduction in our #meat consumption. #ClimateChange
This can only be achieved if politicians stop subsidising the meat industry and redirect their investments towards plant-based, sustainable agriculture.
