Guest guest Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 " The purpose of World Farm Animals Day is to manifest, memorialize, mourn, and mitigate the needless suffering and death of 50 billion cows, pigs, and other innocent, sentient animals each year in the world's factory farms and slaughterhouses. It also exposes the other devastating effects of today’s intensive animal agriculture on human health and environmental quality. The date, October 2, honors the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, one of the foremost champions of humane farming.
