World Day for Farmed Animals

On the World Day for Farmed Animals (October 2nd), we held a performance in which 20 activists were lying on the ground to demonstrate the “invisible” status of animals in our society. They had pictures of breeding animals, showing passers-by how meat, milk and eggs come to our tables, and why slaughterhouses and farms are hidden from people’s eyes. Look for impressive photographs here.
