    Of course one could use other terms but one can’t please everyone! If you believe the wording to be wrong or could be improved, you should contact them.

    They could have used ‘every body’, every ‘being’, every ‘concious entity’ but, as with all advertising, the words shouldn’t stumble.

    The thing is that as it's in the UK - it's not even deemed advertising just that particular billboards authors "opinion" ....

    As above kinda spells out a complete lack of understanding / hatred for any species who is naturally carnivorous, omnivorous or similar tbh
    "Respecting everyone's right not to be used owned or killed regardless of species"

    This from the same group which would see all species of farmed animals wiped off the face of the planet ...

    Same old tag lines being repeated then? I would have presumed the anti farming campaign would have came up with something new at this stage?

    Edit: meant to say that must be the UK then as the main ad agengy here responsible for transport billboards have refused to place such anti farming tag lines on buses and trains in Ireland. Despite Ms Higgins protestations about this - these sentiments on the billboards are her opinions and do not constitute 'information' in any shape or form imo

    Can you explain how I saw one on a double decker bus in Galway today so? The bus was travelling towards Renmore.

    Photo please!
    I'll tell you the above is not Galway anyway!

    Maybe it was a veganbus special or a mirage?

    Press release from ms higgins
    For the third year running, Exterion Ireland, the only company that carry ads on bus and trains in Ireland, is refusing to run Go Vegan World ads

    Good stuff ...

    It’s was a go vegan world ad

    Don’t know what was on it. But I’d be willing to have a wager with you it was go vegan world.

    So put up a photo. As I said the official statement given was:
    For the third year running, Exterion Ireland, the only company that carry ads on bus and trains in Ireland, is refusing to run Go Vegan World ads

    Btw the adverts were originally refused because they were deemed ‘emotive and provocative’ and likely to draw complaints.

    You appear to doubt ms higgins statement for some reason? What part of the UK was the first photo in if you don't mind me asking?

    I don't know what to tell you otherwise!

    I’d wager Bradford....seen as it’s actually written on the bus.

    I’ll do my very best to find it tomorrow as I’ll be on that side of town & in town again.

    I give you my word it was a govegan world advert. I was driving my car & was ****ed if I was going to chase after it to take a picture. It’s was black and had VEGANISM is caps on it.

    If I’m wrong I’ll hold my hands up.

    I made no such suggestion lol. Your the one who doubted ms higgins statement - that's not my own opinion btw. There always the possibility could be a vegan with their own bus perhaps?

    Btw was the bus shelter you saw also in the UK :confused:

    Nope. Two of them were in an area where we live. I looked today and one was gone. Some sports lad on it now.

    It was a double decker bus eireann bus.

    I asked the Mrs there had she seen the bus with the vegan ad on it around at all....she said yes sure there’s two of them. She was talking about the bus shelters. I said no, I’m on about an actually bus.

    She said no, not seen a bus.

    A quick Google shows go vegan ads on a Dublin bus so there's no reason for them not to be on a bus Éireann bus in Galway. They were out on bus shelters too over the Christmas. They caused a bit of a stir a few years ago when they first came out but they seem to attract little attention now.

    That is not my opinion - I'll quote the press release from ms higgins of govegan world again dated December 28, 2018
    For the third year running, Exterion Ireland, the only company that carry ads on bus and trains in Ireland, is refusing to run Go Vegan World

    I checked the Google search - there are some images dating 2015 and previous ...

    'Bus shelters' were not mentioned in the press release ...

    Other than that like yourself- I don't have a clue what the story is ...

    The only person that seems to give a toss about her statement is you.

    I’m just delighted I was right.

    Good stuff!!!
