Animal Freedom March
Delmar Metro Park & Ride, 660 Rosedale Ave, St. Louis, MO, US🗽🇺🇸🦅 Join us as we demand freedom for all animals on the 4th of July!
Why? Freedom is an American ideal, and all animals deserve to live safe, happy, and free. Yet billions of animals live some of the most unfree lives imaginable in:- 🏭 factory farms
- 🔪 slaughterhouses
- 🐭 and other animal-abusing facilities
By marching with us on Animal Freedom Day, you will:
- 🐵 champion the rights of nonhuman animals
- 😿 raise awareness about their plight
- 🗽 and build the movement for animal freedom
All people are born with certain inalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It is our duty to ensure that these rights are extended to all animals, because justice for all means justice for animals.
Their freedom is our freedom. Now let’s fight for it!

St. Louis Protest for Chickens
Raising Canes, 805 S Vandeventer Ave, St. Louis, MO 63110, St. Louis, MO, US🐔📢✊ Join local PETA supporters and Project Animal Freedom as we peacefully protest Raising Cane’s and speak up for chickens!
Chickens are some of the most abused animals on the planet. In the United States alone, approximately 9 billion chickens are killed for their flesh every year, and the vast majority spend their entire lives in confinement—from the moment they hatch until the day they are slaughtered.
By attending this protest, you will:- 📣 advocate for chickens trapped in the fast-food industry
- 💔 raise awareness about the horrific suffering these animals endure
- 🌱 encourage the public to choose compassion by going vegan
All animals deserve to live safe, happy, and free from violence. Yet chickens are treated like products instead of individuals, suffering terribly before their bodies end up in fast-food bags.
Please join us as we come together for chickens and call for a kinder world!
❗ IMPORTANT DETAILS:
Please dress sharply in a PETA T-shirt, nice pants, and close-toed shoes. PETA will provide a shirt if you do not already have one. This dress code is required so the focus stays where it belongs: on the animals.
All materials, including posters, will be provided.
Please refrain from bringing dogs, as there may not be a comfortable place for them to lie down during the protest.
For questions, contact MariaL@peta.org.
What are you waiting for? Get active for chickens today!
