The modern animal rights movement began in the 1970s when ethicist Peter Singer published Animal Liberation. The book quickly gathered international attention and inspired many people to lead cruelty-free lifestyles.
One animal is abused every minute. Annually, over 10 million animals in the US are abused to death. 97% of animal cruelty cases come from farms, where most of these creatures die. Dogs Comprise 65% of All Animals Suffering Abuse. The US has over 10,000 puppy mills. 50% of Pit Bulls in shelters are euthanized.
The annual International Animal Rights Day (IARD) is observed on 10th December and aims to remember the atrocities on animals by human tyranny. It calls for the recognition of Universal Declaration of Animal Rights.
