Animal activists protest at TG Lee Dairy for World Day for Farmed Animals
ORLANDO Friday morning, local animal rights activists with national nonprofit Farm Animal Rights
Movement (FARM) will protest at Smithfields Patrick Cudahy slaughterhouse. Smithfield, the world's
largest pork processor and hog producer, is a $15 billion global food company.
Dozens of activists will peacefully gather to inform the public about the tragedy happening just inside, as
well as handing out vegan food samples and leaflets.
Date: Saturday, October 3, 2015
Time: 11:30 a.m. 1 p.m.
Location: Patrick Cudahy, 1 Sweet Applewood Ln, Cudahy WI 53110 (protestors will meet at the corners
of Somer and Patrick Cudahy, one block north and one block east of the companys street address)

This protest memorializes and speaks out for pigs who are exploited for Smithfields Patrick Cudahy
products, said local resident Ryan Olson. 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 Smithfield 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.
