World Day for Farmed Animals is October 2nd

October 2nd was chosen because it is Gandhi's birthday. Throughout his life, Gandhi undertook nearly 20 fasts as political and social protest.

Most farmed animals are starved for hours, even days, as they are being transported to slaughter. In remembrance and solidarity with their tremendous suffering, we invite you to join activists across the world in a Fast Against Slaughter on October 2nd.

You CAN take a stand and sign the pledge here: http://www.dayforanimals.org/pledge

Pigs crammed into transport trucks bound for slaughter experience unbelievable suffering: they struggle to breathe, they collapse from heat exhaustion in the warmer months (some will freeze to the walls and floor of the truck in the winter months), they suffer heart attacks, and most of them are starved for the duration of the drive. An industry report stated that over 1 million pigs die during transport each year.

World Day for Farmed Animals (WDFA), founded in 1983, is dedicated to exposing the needless suffering and death of sentient animals raised and slaughtered for food. World Day for Farmed Animals will continue until animals are no longer seen as commodities, raised for their flesh and by-products.

"[In the wintertime,] can you imagine if you were in the back of a trailer that's open and the windchill factor is minus 50 degrees, and that trailer is going 50-60 miles per hour? The animals are urinating and defecating right in the trailers, and after awhile, it's going to freeze, and their hooves are right in it. If they go down, well, you can imagine lying in there for 10 hours on a trip." -- Dr. Lester Friedlander, former USDA veterinary inspector.
