Each year, 55 billion land animals are killed worldwide for their flesh, milk, and eggs. On or around October 2nd, activists in all 50 U.S. states and two dozen other countries will observe World Farm Animals Day (WFAD) to expose this needless suffering and killing.

Join the global outcry this October, as we memorialize the innocent individuals who account for 98% of all animal abuse by humans. Observances include vigils, protests, cage-ins, die-ins, funeral marches, video screenings, fasts, memorial services, leafleting, information tables, and more. Don't miss this chance to be part of an international day of action!

More than 900 participants and visitors from throughout the U.S. and eight other countries attended the Animal Rights 2009 National Conference, held on July 16-20th in Los Angeles.

105 speakers from 60 groups presented in 120 sessions, including plenaries, workshops, raps, and campaign reports. Nearly 90 organizations exhibited their literature and merchandise. More than 60 videos of animal abuse and protective actions were screened, including premieres.
