World Farm Animals Day

World Farm Animals Day is celebrated on October 2 and tells that animals do not deserve human cruelty. Sometimes they are kept in completely wild conditions… Our task is to prevent this and fight for their rights!

History

The date was not chosen in vain: it coincides with the birthday of the famous human rights activist Mahatma Gandhi. He often said that all living things, regardless of species, should be treated with the same respect. The spiritual leader was known as a true legend!

The holiday was founded in 1983. The initiator was the movement to protect the rights of farm animals. The date is like a bloody reminder of the torment experienced by animals on farms and slaughterhouses around the world. There is serious work ahead, but the situation is gradually changing for the better.

There is a scheme approved by the Royal Society that suggests proper housekeeping. Many farmers use it with success, especially those who are starting to develop in this area. Various movements are also popular – for example, vegetarians. They vigilantly monitor the situation and change the world for the better!
