Are you a man who cares about animals, but thinks it is fine to treat women like one?
Then Caso Diablo is the place for you. The world’s first vegan strip club, in Portland, Oregon — a hippyish town in the US that prides itself as the most vegan-friendly in the country — serves up meat- and dairy-free chilli cheese fries, chocolate/strawberry cheesecake and mushroom burgers along with the naked women.
The owner, Johnny Diablo, describes himself as an “ethical vegan,” and claims that half of the dancers are vegetarian or vegan.
The place is sleazy, without even the veneer of a “gentlemen’s club”: Bar staff are topless, while the dancers take absolutely everything off and are instructed to sit on customers’ laps.
The naked women draw the men in, Diablo says, which, in turn, means they will learn to love vegan food.
Treating women like meat and eating it often go together, for example at one US-run chain that serves up burgers, chicken wings and steaks, as well as young waitresses wearing very little.
However, as the sex industry has proliferated in recent years, using women’s bodies to promote vegetarianism and veganism has become more commonplace.
The animal rights organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is notorious for its misogynistic tactics.
PETA plans to launch a porn site, peta.xxx, later this year, much to the disgust of feminists.
Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平) is to visit Russia next month for a summit of the BRICS bloc of developing economies, Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi (王毅) said on Thursday, a move that comes as Moscow and Beijing seek to counter the West’s global influence. Xi’s visit to Russia would be his second since the Kremlin sent troops into Ukraine in February 2022. China claims to take a neutral position in the conflict, but it has backed the Kremlin’s contentions that Russia’s action was provoked by the West, and it continues to supply key components needed by Moscow for
Japan scrambled fighter jets after Russian aircraft flew around the archipelago for the first time in five years, Tokyo said yesterday. From Thursday morning to afternoon, the Russian Tu-142 aircraft flew from the sea between Japan and South Korea toward the southern Okinawa region, the Japanese Ministry of Defense said in a statement. They then traveled north over the Pacific Ocean and finished their journey off the northern island of Hokkaido, it added. The planes did not enter Japanese airspace, but flew over an area subject to a territorial dispute between Japan and Russia, a ministry official said. “In response, we mobilized Air Self-Defense
CRITICISM: ‘One has to choose the lesser of two evils,’ Pope Francis said, as he criticized Trump’s anti-immigrant policies and Harris’ pro-choice position Pope Francis on Friday accused both former US president Donald Trump and US Vice President Kamala Harris of being “against life” as he returned to Rome from a 12-day tour of the Asia-Pacific region. The 87-year-old pontiff’s comments on the US presidential hopefuls came as he defied health concerns to connect with believers from the jungle of Papua New Guinea to the skyscrapers of Singapore. It was Francis’ longest trip in duration and distance since becoming head of the world’s nearly 1.4 billion Roman Catholics more than 11 years ago. Despite the marathon visit, he held a long and spirited
China would train thousands of foreign law enforcement officers to see the world order “develop in a more fair, reasonable and efficient direction,” its minister for public security has said. “We will [also] send police consultants to countries in need to conduct training to help them quickly and effectively improve their law enforcement capabilities,” Chinese Minister of Public Security Wang Xiaohong (王小洪) told an annual global security forum.
