SOT, Willen, protester (French): "As we saw many times, at the beginning of the movement in March, there were people who said that animal agriculture is going to kill the planet. For us it's a reality and around the world it kills billions of animals every year. We're here to stop it, to say it's an abomination that has to be stopped. It's an ecological catastrophe and ethic failure at the same time."

SCRIPT
Thousands of students took to the streets of Paris on Friday, as part of a global strike for climate protection, that was launched on the initiative of Swedish teenage activist Greta Thunberg.
The protesters were filmed chanting slogans and carrying banners, placards, and flags, to raise awareness to demand action from the government to tackle the climate change.
The march was one of demonstrations taking place across the globe with organisers expecting millions of people to join the protest.
