Ahead of World Environment Day, two painted animal defenders took to the streets to remind passers-by that raising animals for food is one of the biggest sources of pollution and greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to the climate catastrophe.

PETA’s “monkey”, Beamish, a victim of experimenters, made a bold appearance at President Trump’s golf club just outside Washington, D.C., where the president was set to attend a private dinner. Beamish’s powerful message rang loud and clear: “SAVE US! Close the National Primate Research Centers.”

Shoppers are in for a sci-fi spectacle when walking, talking robot calf Charli XC Cow hoofs it to ask customers, “Are you wearing my mother?” The robot, which features a state-of-the-art 3D-printed head, describes how the leather industry exploits cows—and breaks into a celebratory dance whenever someone says they’re wearing vegan clothing.
