SAVE THE DATE: World Day For Farmed Animals

"World Day for Farmed Animals is October 2nd, chosen because it is Gandhi's birthday. Throughout his life, Gandhi undertook nearly 20 fasts as political and social protest."

Did you know? Most animals are starved at least 12 hours - sometimes days! - on their way to slaughter. On October 2nd, activists around the world will fast against slaughter, remembering the suffering that farmed animals go through before ending up on the dinner plate.

To show my support, I have signed the pledge to fast for one day. I hope you will be a part of it, too.

Sign the pledge, go to an event, or share this campaign. Be a voice for those that don't have one!

#FastAgainstSlaughter, World Day for Farmed Animals

And if you are new to the issues, watch this video, which shows in clear, brutal honesty (that's your warning) why people are choosing to participate in World Day for Farmed Animals.

Food For Thought

Has your animal rescue group or shelter adopted a vegan menu policy for their charity events? If not, why not? It only makes sense and Animal Place designed a campaign to bring this about: Food For Thought.

"In addition to dogs and cats, your shelter may rescue other animals - farmed animals -, like rabbits, horses, goats, and sheep. As with any good shelter, you strive to find forever homes for the animals you save. Yet, it may still be common to find that similar animals are served as the fare at your functions. "

For those of you that are not vegan, please don't shy away! This goal can be implemented and it has. Animal League Defense Fund, Animal Place, Harvest Home Animal Sanctuary and many others have adopted policies to respect the animals they support. 

Animal Place provides plenty of resources to help you spread the word and bring about this change to business & charity event practices.
