July 18, 2010
An 18-year-old Canadian girl has declared July 24 Animal Freedom Day. Nadia Masoudi of Stoney Creek, Ontario, is passionate about raising awareness of animal rights and has been vegan since 16. To commemorate the day, on July 24, she will host a webcast with videotaped messages and performances from actors and animal activists. The webcast will take place at the vegetarian Burlington Jazz ‘n Blues Fest, and she hopes to encourage people around the world to stop eating meat for a day—or more. Animal Freedom Day has already gained celebrity sponsors, including Nigel Barker and Woody Harrelson. Masoudi is also working on a vegan documentary: Don’t Eat Me.
