Animals first on the Second

It's that time of the month again! some of you might know that I engage in a 24 hour fast every 2nd of the month. It is part of a world wide movement called Animals first on the second or AFOTS.

This protest was initiated by Izzy Jacobus was birthed by the fact that animals that are transported to slaughter receive neither food or water anymore, often for more than 72 hours, as it is considered a”a waste of resources” , more sanitary and it makes the poor souls easier to manage and brutalise. The circle with cross symbol represents a plate with utensils crossed on it to signify that no food will be consumed this day. Most people paint the symbol on their hand or wear a sticker with the symbol on the day of the fast as conversation starter. And most of us put either a picture with the symbol or a picture with themselves and the symbol on their hand or the hand alone as profile picture during the fast. For me personally the scope of the why has expanded and I will be doing this fast until there is not more animal agriculture, testing on animals or other exploitation or abuse. If you care to join or support the efforts.

THIS IS A 24 HOUR FAST TO RAISE AWARENESS FOR ANIMALS. It is not a health challenge or physical competition.

Here is the public facebook group for those wanting to join the protest
