In addition to (your city), protests will be held in more than 100 U.S. locations and in several other countries, including Canada, England, Spain, Chile, India, and Israel.There are 65 billion farmed land animals killed for food every year, who are confined, mutilated, and bred to grow so large, so quickly, that many of them literally suffer to death, said Michael Webermann, FARM executive director. Each year, World Day for Farmed Animals seeks to expose the public to the shocking truth of animal agribusiness, and companies like Kraft must be held accountable.This year marks the 33rd year World Day for Farmed Animals has been observed. The international day of action typically includes vigils, marches, and demonstrations, and takes place each year on or around October 2 in conjunction with the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, an outspoken advocate of non-violence towards animals.The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way in which its animals are treated, Gandhi famously said.
