World Farm Animals Day Announcement

[Guest guest]

Announcement for the list:

 

PLEASE JOIN US on October 2nd (Gandhi’s birthday) for the 20th annual World Farm

Animals Day (http://www.WFAD.org).

 

Now observed throughout 20 countries, WFAD is a day of activism dedicated to

exposing and memorializing the needless suffering and death of 45 billion

innocent, sentient animals in the world’s factory farms and slaughterhouses.

This year’s observance is co-sponsored by FARM, In Defense of Animals, PETA,

Farm Sanctuary, Animal Protection Institute, and Vegan Outreach.

 

This year, we are asking each of you to expose these atrocities in the streets

of your communities with graphic documentary videotapes beaming from a TV/VCR

mounted on your table, car or van. The videotapes are free and we will provide

instructions for assembling a video rig. Other types of events are also possible

so check out our web site for more information.

 

Please note: although the official observance is on Wednesday, October 2, you

may schedule your event(s) any time between September 28 and October 6.

 

PARTICIPATING IS EASY!

 

Even if your plans are incomplete, please register your event(s) online at:

http://www.wfad.org/wfad_contact.html or by phone: 888 FARM USA.

 

REGISTERING IS A VERY IMPORTANT STEP. It allows you to request an *Action Kit*

which includes:

- Guide To An Effective Observance

- A report on the 2001 observance (for ideas and inspiration)

- Guide to Effective Use of Local Media

- A sample local media advisory to promote your event

REGISTERING ALSO ENABLES US TO:

Finally, we ask that you publicize World Farm Animals Day by posting a web

banner (available at: www.wfad.org/wfad_banner.html). We will reciprocate by

providing your name and web link in the “Supporting Organizations” section of

the WFAD web site.

 

YOU can make a difference! World Farm Animals Day is a day when everyone is

conscience-bound to help stop the 97% of animal suffering in the world.

 

Please join us and thank you for caring.
