SLAUGHTER TRAILER POP-UP RESTAURANT “OPENS” IN NEW YORK CITY / {Activism Stunt}

An activism entity “opens” an incredible “Michelin 5-Star restaurant experience” inside an actual slaughter-haul trailer. We would set up (park the trailer) in a popular & trendy urban district, near galleries and restaurants – perhaps in LA or New York. There might be a revolving spotlight on top to attract fanfare and attention. Passers by would be welcome to come in. There would be a restaurant hostess and wait staff. The interior would be lit accordingly as per a “fine dining experience.” Imagine: Round tables, white cloths, romantic and elegant ambience, fine glassware, etc. But this trailer would not have been cleaned in any way after its last haul to the slaughter pen. There would be actual animal feces and urine on the floor, as well as the walls, inside and out. It would smell accordingly. Daring folks would enter via a walk up the same ramp the animals were forced to use. We would film everything. If people were to go inside and inquire, they would be told that yes there is seating available, but warned that a meal here is going to expose the reality of eating animals. The “restaurant staff actors” would be unflappable, well-spoken activists with skills to engage without reactivity, should any tension or debate arise.

Table menus might read:

WELCOME TO RESTAURANT REAL: EATING ANIMALS IS NEVER ELEGANT.
