“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way in which its animals are treated.” “Mahatma Gandhi #nationalfarmanimalsday #nationalfarmanimalsawarenessweek #farmanimals #farmanimalday #quotes #gandhi #pathhc https://www.instagram.com/p/B3HKAc1JOrJ/?igshid=1kvw5s68q1vk7

National Farm Animals Day was created as a day to raise awareness about the plight of slaughtered animals and to find a home for the abandoned and abused farm animals. U.S. farm animals endure a wide range of hardships, from a lack of elbow room and exercise to an excess of hormones and antibiotics. The point of National Farm Animals Day, according to founder Colleen Paige, is "to raise awareness about the plight of slaughter animals, as well as to find homes for abandoned and abused farm animals." Both are noble goals, and highlight work done year-round by national animal-rights groups such as Farm Sanctuary and the Humane Society. But it's also worth giving some attention today to the other end of the spectrum: While their numbers are dwarfed by animals at factory farms, the U.S. and other countries are home to lots of lively livestock, too. Whether they're organic, free-range, drug-free or all of the above, these lucky few are living examples of how to raise farm animals humanely. https://youtu.be/09N5fHOOtnY #nationalfarmanimalsday #nationalfarmanimalday #farmanimalday #farmanimals https://www.instagram.com/p/BwEi6tzD7HE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xekb21qx2h6y
