Tomorrow is World Day For Farmed Animals and a handful of us together with 1,000s of people from all over the world will be making a peaceful protest by fasting for 12 hours. The fast represents the horrific treatment of animals on their transit to slaughter, how they are starved of water and food, how they are crammed into lorries for long journeys without any fresh air or breaks from their journey of terror to doom. Many of the terrified animals will die in transit from either dehydration or being trampled on by their fellow kind. These poor creatures who I would like to add, are someone not something, are dragged from the confines of a cage or cell, transported under torturous conditions only to be faced with hell, on arrival. All of this so that people can eat meat, not because they need to eat meat but because they like the taste. People need to connect with their food, people need to know who their food was, people need to acknowledge that when you purchase meat, what that animal had to endure. My fast is about awareness and hopefully inspiring, to make compassionate choices, not just for peoples health but for the animals right to live their natural life and most importantly, to slow down climate change, because without our planet, no matter what you feel passionate about, will mean squigglyshit. Because I have no respect for the wilfully ignorant, I have placed In the comments below, links to films about what happens to animals which I believe that all meat eaters need to watch. If you would like to join the 1,000s of people in the #fastagainstslaughter here is a link to make your pledge and find out more about World Day For Farmed Animals. . dayforanimals.org/pledge
