And So We Marched
And So We Marched – In 136 cities on 6 continents to honour World Animal Day – October 4, 2014 – and to demand change, accountability and protection for animals all around the world. We roared for lions – elephants and rhinos – but we did not forget the plight of homeless dogs and cats – factory farmed animals who exist in dark, filthy barns – animals slaughtered in revolting religious festivals and those who are abused, chained, caged, confined, hunted and tortured. It was their day and we gave them a mighty voice.
I am grateful to every person who participated and encouraged by this global awakening of human compassion and caring. We are making a difference and our collective voice is growing louder and louder!
Enjoy these photos from around the world. They are challenging – full of hope – clever – humorous – inclusive – informative!
