Every year, from 1998, the day 10 December is remembered worldwide as the International Day of Animal Rights. The VEDDAS organizes protests Since that date 2006 (Pioneer in the date in Brazil), being then considered the largest and strongest kind of protests held in the country, having gathered 300 people on the streets of São Paulo. Several media outlets tend to disclose the act.

This year, the VEDDAS innovated a protest controversial. In downtown Sao Paulo, just 100 meters from the City Hall building, activists positioned themselves in a respectful manner while holding the bodies of animals raised for their meat or skin, or those victimized by science and other forms of animal exploitation. The bodies were obtained from the disposal of industry and conservation units where they had died. Naturally, no animal was purchased or generated any profit for the industry of animal exploitation. While activists held the bodies, others spoke on the megaphone explaining the reason for the protest and others talked directly with the population. The VEDDAS CARTE-attended showing images that expose the reality of animal exploitation. Two camera crews were present to document the act.
