HAVANA (Reuters) - Hundreds of Cubans marched peacefully through Havana calling for an end to animal cruelty on Sunday in what organizers believe was the first independent march authorized by the one-party state.

Accompanied by their pets, the activists carried placards calling for an animal protection law and chanted "down with animal abuse" as they walked through the central district of Vedado to the surprise of curious onlookers.
