WORLD FARMED ANIMALS DAY, observed on (or around) October 2nd, is a time

dedicated to exposing, mourning, and memorializing the needless suffering

and killing 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 and the date marks the birthday of ethical vegetarian

Mahatma Gandhi. http://www.wfad.org/
