On Sept. 22nd, Phoenix residents will join up with the Farm Sanctuary, the nation's leading farm animal protection organization, in the annual Walk for Farm Animals. This fun & inspiring celebration is being sponsored in over 50 cities across North America. In addition to promoting awareness about inhumane factory farming practices, walkers will raise vitally needed funds to help sustain & ensure farm animal rescue, protection & advocacy efforts.
Registered walkers, wearing their Walk for Farm Animals T-shirts, will take to the streets, parks & beaches in a show of support urging compassion for farm animals. Educational literature will be available at each of the Walks for those citizens who wish to learn more about farm animal issues.
With important legislative efforts and actions now pending nationwide, these Walks focus attention on current Farm Sanctuary campaign issues including foie gras, downed animals, veal crates for calves & gestation crates for pigs.
