82.966 was the approximate number of animals killed by human actions every 30 seconds last year. Every day we fight to reduce these numbers but we don´t stop until animals get their basic rights: the right to life, to not be tortured and not be considered a property of the human being. T hat's why the millions of people who fight against speciesism worldwide receive with optimism and hope 10 december - International Day of Animal Rights.
As a result of terryfing number of deaths left by the Second World War - 60 millions of people, including 6 millions of Jewish Holocaust victims, - in 1948 there was adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Now we need to establish the same declaration but according to every living being as a next step to antoher, better civilization - the Society without Suffering. You think that's not necessary?
And if I told you that every 33 minutes animals suffer their own holocaust, would you belive? Every 33 mintutes dies around 6.000.000 animals in slautherhouses, fur farms, laboratories etc. Millions of senseless deaths, that we could prevent...
For that reason since 1997 we celebrate the International Day of Animal Rights, our purpose is to change our beliefs, our traditions and attitudes towards non-human animals.
Our whole economic system is built on the explotation of billions of living beings with the same capacity to feel pain and express complex emotions as human animals do. For this reason the aim of all of us, who struggle against speciesism, is not only to celebrate this day in the thousands of public events all over the world, but to be concious in our daily acts and reclaim that animal rights were respected.
"Auschwitz begins wherever someone looks at a slaughterhouse and thinks: they're only animals."
Theodor Adorno
