Beavers made honorary members
The
stars of this year’s BBC Autumnwatch,
beavers Twiggy and Woody, were today recognised for their contribution
to debunking the popular misconception that vegetarians (and beavers)
eat fish. Presenting the wetland mammals with honorary membership of
the oldest vegetarian organisation in the world, The Vegetarian Society
acknowledged their sterling work in educating the nation that they,
like all vegetarians, do not eat the flesh of any animals.
Twiggy and Woody based at the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust Martin Mere
Wetland Centre have been educating the nation on the fact that vegetarians
do not eat fish.
“Despite what many TV chefs think vegetarians don’t eat
fish and never have, it was great to see such a popular programme getting
the message out. The Vegetarian Society felt Twiggy and Woody did such
a great job that we have decided to make them honorary members of the
Society.” said Su Taylor spokesperson for The Vegetarian Society.
