WORLD FARM ANIMALS DAY, observed on (or around) October 2nd, is a time dedicated to exposing, mourning, and memorializing the needless suffering and killing of the more than 55 billion cows, pigs, turkeys, chickens, and other sentient land animals in the world's factory farms and slaughterhouses. It is a time for all to speak out against the atrocities and brutalization of animals raised for meat, eggs, and dairy. The annual occasion is observed with activities in all 50 U.S. states and two dozen other countries and the date marks the birthday of ethical vegetarian Mahatma Gandhi. This date also coincides with the birthdate of Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals, the environment, and of Italy. His birthdate is October 3rd and is celebrated by the Catholic church on October 4th as 'Feast Day'.
