Animal activists protest at Oscar Mayer Slaughterhouse for World Day for Farmed Animals
MADISON Friday morning, local animal rights activists with national nonprofit Farm Animal Rights
Movement (FARM) will protest at Krafts Oscar Mayer facility, where animals are slaughtered for one of
the nations largest food processors.
Dozens of activists will peacefully gather to inform the public about the tragedy happening just inside:
Date: Friday, October 2, 2015
Time: 9 a.m. 12:30 p.m.
Location: Oscar Mayer, 910 Mayer Ave, Madison WI 53704
This protest memorializes and speaks out for animals who are killed for Krafts Oscar Mayer products,
said local resident Kristen Lucas. On World Day for Farmed Animals, we intend to tell the public that all
animals raised for food face a gruesome slaughter and deserve our respect.
World Day for Farmed Animals includes a coordinated, targeted series of demonstrations at
slaughterhouses and other animal agriculture facilities around the world to oppose the abuses inherent in

animal agriculture. In addition to (your city), protests will be held in more than 100 U.S. locations and in
several other countries, including Canada, England, Spain, Chile, India, and Israel.
There are 65 billion farmed land animals killed for food every year, who are confined, mutilated, and bred
to grow so large, so quickly, that many of them literally suffer to death, said Michael Webermann, FARM
executive director. Each year, World Day for Farmed Animals seeks to expose the public to the shocking
truth of animal agribusiness, and companies like Kraft must be held accountable.
This year marks the 33rd year World Day for Farmed Animals has been observed. The international day
of action typically includes vigils, marches, and demonstrations, and takes place each year on or around
October 2 in conjunction with the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, an outspoken advocate of non-violence
towards animals.
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way in which its animals are
treated, Gandhi famously said. For more information please visit www.DayForAnimals.org.
