NARD Makes History in LA!

Vegan Celebrities Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara participated in the march too!

JaneUnchained LIVE at the National Animal Rights Day in Los Angeles, CA. Over a thousand activists, including celebrities Joaquin Phoenix, Rooney Mara, and Earthlings director Shaun Monson are marching and honoring innocent animals by carrying their dead bodies while walking. They’re supporting this event to urge everyone to quit eating and wearing animals and to end all animal exploitation. All those present are standing in solidarity with the animals of our planet who are exploited and killed for food, clothing, experimentation, and entertainment. We are their voice! We have the power to stop this! Please, if you’re not already, Go Vegan for the animals, for your health, and for our planet. The time is now!

Event participants solemnly held the bodies of several species of dead animals to symbolize the lives lost every year due to human practices.

National Animal Rights Day known by the acronym NARD was established by the nonprofit “Our Planet. Theirs Too.” in 2011. This day’s events are practiced in several countries worldwide on June 2nd.  JaneUnchained contributors reported from NARD in Los Angeles, New York, Portland, and Berkeley alone. As part of the NARD ceremony, participants hold a funeral procession with the bodies of several species of animals to symbolize the victims of human practices. They also read and sign the Declaration of Animal Rights. The goal is people will participate or observe the event and become aware of their actions so they can change them in order to save other animals from suffering and death. The nonprofit also promotes a vegan lifestyle as part of the change that people can make in their own lives to save countless lives of animals.

This year in Los Angeles NARD held the first march for this event making a historical twist. During the march, activists held the bodies of over a dozen animals, as well as signs displaying animals suffering and pro-animal rights messages. March goers were able to walk in the street to the busy intersection of Beverly Blvd. and Fairfax Ave. There is no doubt the march gained the attention of several people walking or driving by.  We hope that this year’s NARD event leaves a lasting impression on those who participated and or saw the display. Hopefully, it will lead people to align their actions and promote peace and freedom for our fellow sentient creatures.

Activists held photos expressing the harsh reality animals experience due to cruel human practices.
