Animal Freedom Day
Saturday, July 24th 2010Animal Freedom Day is an event that takes place which aims to creatively tackle the ongoing topic of animal rights. It is a day in which people from all walks of life cease to consume animal or animal by-products. Our goal is to create awareness and put an end to the slaughtering of animals, animal abuse and create an alternative foodsource. This event was originally conceived by Nadia Masoudi, whose intense passion for the livelihood of our co-inhabitants drove her to produce a documentary celebrating the lives of animals. Eventually, a day was chosen to take place as Animal Freedom Day. She then joined forces with several like minded individuals and took the initiative to create a worldwide event to bring about the end to animal suffering. On July 24, 2010, pledge to refrain from eating a hamburger, drinking milk or using products tested on animals. This event is geared towards people helping people helping animals. Animal Freedom Day is not only a day for vegetarians, vegans and animal activists, Politicians, religious figures, celebrities, musicians, and even you can contribute a small amount to decrease the suffering that takes place everyday for animals throughout the world. Our vision is to see the world’s population become fully vegan by the year 2375. How so? Every year we will increase the dates for Animal Freedom Day by one day. For the first year we wish to have one day where families can make a festive event to have meals comprised of meatless and animal-free dishes. The second year of Animal Freedom Day will be extended to two days, then another day the next year, and so on. The idea is to be vegan for those days, if not more. However, we hope to see a vegan world sooner then the year 2375.
