On Saturday, approximately 12,000 activists gathered in London for the Official Animal Rights March—the largest attendance at the event to date. Organized by animal-rights groups Surge and Animal Rebellion, the march first launched in 2016, attracting 2,500 activists and expanded in 2018 to boast more than 10,000 participants.

上周六，大约12,000名活动人士齐聚英国伦敦，隆重举行“动物权利正式大游行”（Official Animal Rights March）──本届参加活动人数为历年最高。此次游行活动由波澜（Surge）和动物抗争（Animal Rebellion）这两个动物权利组织共同主办。这个大游行最初于2016年发起，吸引了2,500名活动人士的积极响应；到了2018年，参加游行队伍扩大到10,000多名人员。

“Animal Rebellion’s message to the public, policymakers, and the future citizen’s assembly is that we need to urgently end the industries of animal farming and fishing, and transition to a plant-based food system in order to avert climate breakdown, mass extinction, and ensure justice for farmed animals,” Animal Rebellion spokesperson Dan Kidby said. 

动物抗争组织发言人丹·基德比（Dan Kidby）说道：“动物抗争组织传递给公众、决策者和未来公民议会的信息是，我们需要迫切终结动物养殖和捕捞产业，过渡到植物性食物体系，以防止气候崩溃和物种大灭绝，同时亦为农场动物保障正义。”

Activists, some dressed as animals, marched with signs that said, “Be Kind, Be Vegan,” “Not your mum. Not your milk,” and “Vegan from ma head tomatoes.” Similar events are planned this year for more than 40 cities worldwide.

在大游行中，有些活动人士打扮成动物的模样，高举的标牌上写着：“善良，纯素”、“（母牛）不是你的妈妈，（牛奶）不是给你喝的奶”、“彻头彻尾的纯素”。今年，全世界有40多座城市都计划举行类似的活动。
