African Festival of the Arts Attendees Exposed to Horrors of Factory Farming

Nathan Runkle September 14, 2011

MFA volunteers in Chicago exposed thousands of festival-goers at the African Festival of the Arts to the shocking and inhumane treatment of farmed animals, and encouraged them to make a switch to a healthy and compassionate plant-based lifestyle.

Shocked and horrified by how farmed animals are treated, many people pledged to go vegetarian on the spot, swearing never to eat animals again.
