Walk for Farm Animals opens registration

Registration is now open nationally for the 35 walks that will be part of the 2011 Walk for Farm Animals including the two walks here in Northern California: Sacramento (October 15) and San Francisco (November 6).

This fall thousands of people in more than 35 cities across North America will gather for these fun, community-focused events that promote kindness to animals and raise vital funds to support the lifesaving work of Farm Sanctuary, the nation’s leading farm animal protection organization.

For 25 years, Farm Sanctuary has relied on the Walk to support its mission to protect farm animals from cruelty and inspire change in the way society views and treats farm animals.

These family-friendly events are an opportunity for those concerned with the cruel and horrific practices of factory farming to take a stand in support of compassion for animals and raise awareness about the mistreatment of animals raised for food. Each event will offer its own unique schedule, including such attractions as speakers, live music, delicious food, raffle prizes, face painting, and costume contests.
