TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – On the afternoon of Oct. 6, hundreds of people concerned for animal welfare met in Ximending, Taipei City (西門町, 臺北市) to march in support of animal rights worldwide, and to listen to music and speeches.
The march was held in good spirit, attended by people of all ages, and saw participation by ten animal rights groups.
The march marked the second annual Taiwan Animal Rights March (台灣動物權遊行), with last year’s event drawing around 150 participants in wet weather.
