As you probably already know, International “Hug a Vegetarian” Day is this Friday! This year, we really wanted to capture the international aspect of the day, so we’re introducing some brand-new signs for you to use! We have signs that you can print out in Spanish, French, Hindi, Arabic, Japanese, and English. Check ‘em out!
Don’t feel like you have to use one of our signs though—we also love when you get creative and make your own! And if you know a language that we don’t have a sign for, you can, of course, make one in that language, too—I know you’re resourceful like that.
Whatever you do, be sure to bring your sign (or signs) to school and take some pics with you and your friends holding them. Then send those photos to StreetTeam@peta2.com, and we’ll hook you up with 1,000 Street Team points.
How many hugs are you gonna get on Friday?

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Jersey girl now I'm all country.
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
Life On A Tour Bus
I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.

I love knowing that no animal doesn’t have to suffer because I’m hungry. Animals are our friends, and people need to start realizing that.
In Finnish, Free Vegetarian Hugs= Ilmainen kasvissyöjä Halaus:)

I loved the signs! I will totally use them tomorrow!
but I believe that if the first sign is in spanish it’s wrong…
it should say “Soy vegetariano/a Abrazame!” (Abrazame soy vegetariano which is the same thing) or “Abrazos vegetarianos gratis!”
that would be for american spanish idk about the spanish from spain…

If anyone wants a sign in German, you could write either of the following (I’m 99% sure they’re right… I’m not a native German so I don’t know the slang / common idioms, but grammatically I’m pretty sure it’s right).
Kostenlose vegetarische Umarmungen! (Free vegetarian hugs!)
Umarm mich — ich bin Vegetarier! (Hug me — I’m a vegetarian!)

GO VEGETARIANS!!! I think people should always think about thier food before they put it in their mouths, Think about the animals before they died. In cruel conditions, and just beated alive.

I work with a lot of Armenians. It would cool if there were a sign in Armenian or Russian.
I don’t know how to write the characters which is why I’m leaving the comment here.
