We are not celebrating October 4th, a day when animal rights violations continue! Today, October 4th is World Animal Protection Day, and it is the perfect day to reflect on veganism as the minimum way to protect animals.

And in a world where millions of animals are subjected to systematic violence every day in pet shops, production farms, carriages, shelters, transportation, dairy-egg farms, streets, circuses, silkworm farming, beekeeping ... we have no right to celebrate this day when violence against animals continues in all its dimensions!
Still, the struggle for animals is not over. For this reason, we see today not as a day of celebration, but as a day that reinforces our struggle and keeps our anger alive.
