World Farm Animals Day is a day dedicated to exposing, mourning, and memorializing the needless suffering and deaths of 50 billion innocent, feeling animals in factory farms and slaughterhouses. Observed in all 50 states and around the world, World Farm Animals Day has been organized since 1983 by FARM, a non-profit public interest organization based in Washington, DC.

The date, October 2nd, honors the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, one of the foremost champions of humane, sustainable farming.

World Farm Animals Day activities traditionally include vigils, marches, leafleting, tabling, and exhibiting. More dramatic events include street theatre, cage-ins and video rigs. Activists will encourage governors and mayors to issue special proclamations denouncing factory farming. Please visit the FARM website and see how easy it is to get involved!
