Animal Matters
Pigs in crates, cows on concrete, chickens in
cages – animals have been turned into machines.
Baby animals torn from their mothers: fattened,
mutilated, pumped with drugs. All end their lives
hung upside down in slaughterhouses – surely
the greatest massacre of all time?
Each of these creatures has the same complex
feelings as the cats and dogs who share our
homes; is a unique individual with their own
personality, and values their life. Yet, in the UK,
one billion are imprisoned and treated like
products in factories.
Earth Matters
Think of almost any environmental catastrophe
and you’ll find livestock at the heart of it.
Farming animals is one of the main sources of
gases that cause global warming – more than all
the world’s transport. It makes many species of
plant and animal extinct across the world
because rainforests – where most of the world's
species live – are cut down for farmed animals
to graze, and so that animal feed can be grown.

Pesticides, hormones, drugs and chemicals used
for livestock are the main cause of water
pollution worldwide. The massive use of
antibiotics in factory farms has helped to create
superbugs. Feeding farmed animals takes up 70
per cent of all agricultural land. Many times
more people could be fed on a plant-based diet.
Please come to support us in a unified protest
against the treatment of farmed animals. There
will be a rally with speakers at Cavendish Square
from 12 noon, and a march at 1.30pm through
Central London and near the Houses of
Parliament. Bring banners and leaflets and we
will also provide them.
October 2nd is World Day for Farmed
Animals. This National March will show the
public and government that there can be a
different and healthier way to nourish
ourselves, that this inhumane cruelty should
be unacceptable in the 21st century. Join us
on October 2nd!
