On 5 June, One Voice is bringing the National Animal Rights Day (NARD) to life in five French towns
The 2022 year of NARD (National Animal Rights Day), as well as being commemorated in 101 towns worldwide, will be an occasion for One Voice’s activists to raise awareness among the public about animal rights in five towns in France: Bordeaux, Lyon, Marseille, Metz, and Nice, on 5 June.
The event is taking place for the twelfth time and brings together thousands of activists in a growing number of countries across five continents, making this “national” day created by the American association Our Planet. Theirs Too a truly international day, which One Voice is delighted to organize and promote in France. Last year, only the local branch of One Voice in Nice took part, and before the pandemic, an inter-association event in which One Voice participated was usually organized in Paris.
This event will consist, in unison and in the same way in all participating countries, of:
- a commemorative ceremony, during which activists organize a solemn memorial in honor of the billions of animals abused and killed during the year by human hands, on farms, in slaughterhouses, fur farms, laboratories, hunting grounds, circuses, zoos, dolphinariums, bullrings, and other industries…
- a festive celebration that will look back on the major milestones achieved during the year to end animal suffering and adopt a cruelty-free lifestyle, with entertainment, speeches, and music. This will be an opportunity to raise public awareness of this sad reality, its impact on animals, the planet, and our health, as well as to highlight existing solutions.
The entire event is free and open to the public!
