 WORLD
FARM ANIMALS DAY, observed
on (or around) October 2nd, is a time dedicated
to exposing, mourning, and memorializing
the needless suffering and slaughter of the
more than 55 billion cows, pigs, turkeys,
chickens, and other sentient land animals
in the world's factory farms and slaughterhouses.
It is a time for all to speak
out against the atrocities and brutalization
of animals raised for meat, eggs, and dairy.
The
annual occasion is observed with activities
in all 50 U.S. states and two dozen other
countries. The date marks the birthday of
ethical vegetarian Mahatma Gandhi.
