Walk for Farm Animals

Every year since 2007, Liberation BC has organized the Vancouver Walk for Farm Animals. We aren't the only ones; for example, more than 50 cities in North America took part last year. All funds raised go to Farm Sanctuary!

2011 Walk

Walk for Farm Animals 2011

Another year, another amazing Walk for Farm Animals!  On October 15th, about 75 of us met at the Vancouver Art Gallery to walk through the downtown area with a collection of fantastic homemade signs and decorations.   The Carnival Band, a group of talented local musicians, spontaneously decided to walk with us, providing an unexpected boost with their festive marching music and showing everybody that an animal-friendly lifestyle is a cause for celebration!  This year's walk also coincided with the Occupy Vancouver protests, creating wonderful opportunities for outreach.  Grand total raised for Farm Sanctuary: $11,679, the most of any Canadian city!
