What is "Fasting to Abolish Animal Slavery"?

Fasting to Abolish Animal Slavery [FAAS] is a global event to highlight and call for the abolition of all forms of nonhuman slavery. 65+ billion nonhumans are enslaved, tortured, and murdered each year for their flesh and other products. Nonhumans have no real rights and they are viewed as property.

If we are truly committed to peace and nonviolence, then we cannot ignore the exploitation and killing of our nonhuman brother and sisters. By adopting a plant based (vegan) diet and life, we can help end animal slavery and the torture and murder of billions.

There was a time when human slavery was legal and condoned by the majority of society. That did not make it right and the same applies to nonhuman slavery. It was never acceptable to enslave and murder nonhumans for any purposes or for "the greater good", and it is not acceptable to do so now.

Through promotional vegan literature the event will also highlight the great contribution animal-use industries play in global warming and highlight the many associated problems.

We are asking for volunteers in in a 3, 5, or even possibly 7 day water fast in a public setting, eg busy Sydney mall on Earth Day 2010. The water fast would be with the approval of local authorities and hopefully well-publicized with a lot of media attention.

When?

The "Fasting to Abolish Animal Slavery" event will take place Earth Day April 22, 2010. We hope FAAS will be, at the very least, an annual event. If it is not possible to hold the event on Earth Day due to problems getting permission from local authorities, or due to incompatible working commitments etc, then volunteers are encouraged to arrange for the event to be held another suitable time, but it would be preferable that the first event be held on Earth day. We chose Earth Day to bring attention to the great contribution animal-use industries play in global warming and all associated problems that accompany global warming.

Where?

This is a global event. FAAS will be held in a public setting, eg: a busy city mall, busy public park,wherever the greatest percentage of the general public are likely to passing by.

Are any groups or organisations represented at FAAS?

This event is intended to be a group of individual volunteers who may or may not be from an organisation. There will be no focus on any organisation. There may be information at tables beside the group of fasters, but it will be not for the purpose of promoting any particular group. We wish this to be a generic group of individual fasters which we feel will be neutral and have a greater impact on the public.

In other words, no group or organisation or individual owns this event, even if a particular organisation or group may actually organise it in any given location or at any given time.

Facebook group

We invite you to join us on Facebook for discussions about this event. If you do not wish to join Facebook, then let us know by email: INFO(at)LOBSA(dot)org and we may need to start a yahoo group or place interested volunteers on a private mail list for future announcements. We would encourage people who are interested, to join Facebook as it will be easier for people to discuss the event and issues arising.

Join our Yahoo group Fasting to Abolish Animal Slavery - to join, send a blank email to FastingAbolishAnimalSlavery-subscri

be@yahoogroups.com and follow the prompts

Who can participate?

Anyone who is at the very least vegetarian, but preferably vegan, is welcome to participate. If possible we would like volunteers who have already some experience with water fasting. If you have no experience, then we encourage you to work up to the event a few months prior, by starting with short fasts at home and researching the subject. We recommend first starting with juice fasts and moving to a water fasts and we have placed a recommended schedule as a message in group's discussion posts. Also, "Fasting and Eating for Health: A Medical Doctor's Program for Conquering Disease (Paperback)
by Joel Fuhrman (Author), Neal D. Barnard (Foreword)" is another suggestion of a text to buy for info.

There are a number of sites online which have information about water fasting. We will shortly also be providing some information on fasting on this site

This group on Facebook specifically calls for volunteers either to fast or to support those fasting or just to support the event and spread the message. We will be promoting this event on different sites and some animal news groups calling for volunteers. We also wish those in various cities to document their event and then we will post these photos (with permission) on Facebook and on our site.

*Please note if you join the group you are not expected to participate in the fast event. It is just great to have your support*


What information will be at the event?

At the "Fasting to Abolish Animal Slavery" event there will be vegan information and animal equality education literature

At this event, highlighted foremost is the abolition of animal slavery and the benefits of a plant-based (vegan) diet and life, also, education about the meat and dairy contribution to climate change, and all other issues related to flesh and animal product consumption. All forms of nonhuman exploitation will be highlighted, eg: nonhumans used in medicine, in entertainment, nonhumans killed for their fur and other products etc.

Information at stalls *must* be animal *rights* and vegan information only. It is yet to be decided if we should have information specifically for the FAAS event. However, if stall information belongs to a certain group, that group must be promoting veganism on their site and as a main part of their activities. If there is to be a banner overhead of the fasters, the only banner presented at the site will be "Fasting to Abolish Animal Slavery". There will be no advertisements of any particular group.

A person needs to be appointed to approve the information at the stall on the day that it is animal *rights* and vegan only information.

Why the name?

We wanted the name of the event to include "animal slavery" because for most of the public, the idea of not exploiting animals for some product or for their flesh, is almost unimaginable.
