In the group of activists, the people wore an elephant, cow, kangaroo, dog, chick and a pink pig costume as they carried placards printed with “I am not leather” and “Stop Climate Change, Go Vegan.”

The slogans were printed in Spanish, Chinese and Vietnamese so those at APEC Summit understood their message.

The activists were stopped as they were about to enter Ayala Avenue that leads to several hotels where numer APEC Summit delegates were staying.
