AnimaList No. 117

60.000.000.000 Slaughtered

Svjetski dan zivotinja s farmi1
On World Day for Farmed Animals we spotlighted the horrible figure of 60,000,000,000 slaughtered animals for human consumption. The performance, during which 12 activists with 12 visuals made a display of over 12 meters length, showed which animals hide behind this number of 60 billion. The act was realized in collaboration and with the support of Farm Animal Rights Movement (FARM). To see a short video please click here.
