You’re invited to participated in this global event as part of World Day for Farmed Animals, organized by the Farm Animal Rights Movement. Here’s what their Facebook event page has to say:
Each day, 160 million farmed animals are transported to meet their gruesome end at slaughterhouses throughout the world. These caring, sensitive individuals are denied food, water, and rest on their journeys for several hours, up to days. They are scared. They are starving. And their suffering is silenced by an industry that doesn’t want us to know the truth.
Yet we refuse to be silent. Together, tens of thousands will rise on October 2 to speak the truth about farmed animals. In the historical tradition of Cesar Chavez, Martin Luther King Jr., and Mahatma Gandhi, we will join together in a one-day Fast Against Slaughter in solidarity with these innocent victims.
Through our voluntary sacrifice of food on this day, we will amplify the voices of the billions of farmed animals suffering around the world. We will inspire others to learn the truth. And we will mobilize a compassionate global community who will not wait for justice, but who will make it a reality.
Join the movement and take the Fast Against Slaughter pledge.
You can also join us the next day for a special dine out at Hard Times Cafe. On Saturday, October 3 at 10am, we’ll break the fast together, enjoying a variety of awesome vegan food with the companionship of others who care deeply about animals.
