National observance?
[edit]Do any nations observe this, or is it entirely unofficial? -Harmil 03:43, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
Spurious October 4th date
[edit]What does this
- October 4 – Hug a Non-Meat Eater Day
contribute to celebrating vegetarian practice?
If that cannot be demonstrated, it complicates and clutters the article (and should be removed). MaynardClark (talk) 12:06, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
- Four (4) full calendar years go, I expressed misgivings about the 'legitimacy' of 'Hung a Non-Meat Eater Day' and, since 2017, the only online references I can find are associated with this Wikipedia article (where it seems to have first appeared). Rather than our playing 'J'Accuse', let's ask or pose a few questions in order to diagnose the legitimacy of this line of entry on this article: (a) Is there any independent verification of the 'observance' in any prince (print or online) source of reputation and stature (test of reliability)? (b) Does anyone on ANY widely-used social media appear to celebrate over several years (or even mention regularly) this supposed 'event'? (c) Can anyone find any reference to 'protocols' for observing 'Hug a Non=Meat Eater Day'?? [I do believe personally that a few OTHER days of vegetarian significance' could be included in the October calendar, but 'who's having fun' with this? Veggies SHOULD prepared to 'line up for their hugs' - 'skin hunger' may be prevalent among herbivores...] MaynardClark (talk) 01:17, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
