We are very honoured that Ottawa Animal Defense League has organized a fundraising evening to mark World Day for Farmed Animals and has chosen Cedar Row Farm Sanctuary as the beneficiary of their fundraising efforts. Cedar Row will be attending the event and talking about our sanctuary and the importance of farmed animal rescue. We’ll also have Cedar Row merchandise available for sale.
From their Facebook event page:
World Day for Farmed Animals, founded in 1983, is dedicated to exposing the needless suffering and death of sentient animals raised and slaughtered for food. World Day for Farmed Animals will continue until animals are no longer seen as commodities, raised for their flesh and by-products. WDFA takes place on or around October 2nd to honor the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, an outspoken advocate of non-violence towards animals. As he said, “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way in which its animals are treated.”
