If you live or work in Washington, D.C., there's a protest planned by FARM and United Poultry Concerns this Thursday you may want to participate in over your lunch hour: "The National Chicken Council's 55th annual conference is taking place in DC Thursday, October 1st -- which also happens to be on the eve of World Farm Animals Day (Gandhi’s Birthday)." Get more info on the event here.

If you need a little inspiration -- a reminder of how unique and wonderful and full of personality the animals for whom you'll be standing up and speaking out are -- check out this sweet and wonderful recent post from Marji at Animal Place: "A Hen Profile in Black and White." This quick glimpse into the personalities of some of the sanctuary residents is well worth reading -- and sharing.

And back briefly to World Farm Animals Day: As you may recall, a couple weeks ago, Michael Weber of FARM shared a thoughtful post about WFAD, coming up this Friday. If you haven't checked the event directory yet to see if there's something planned near you, on or around WFAD, you can still do that here. If you hurry, you may still be able to get some free materials for what you have planned too.
