Meatless Pledge Day – 25 November

25 November is International Meatless Day, Animal Rights Day, SAK (Stop All Killing). 

This is a concept developed by those who concurred with Sadhu Vaswani when he proclaimed that the creation of God is bound by the golden chains to the Feet of the One God, the One Divine Father of us all. People are requested, in recognition of this ideal, to refrain from eating non-vegetarian food on this day. Since this concept was developed this movement has gathered infinite momentum and the last few years have seen pledges from well over 10 million across the globe. Such has been the consciousness that a number of states in India voluntarily shut their abattoirs on that day. However, this is not enough and we need to endeavour to move more people to this level of consciousness.

Dada J P Vaswani believes that the 21^st century will bear witness to the establishment of rights to animals. He has tirelessly led a crusade for animal rights. STOP ALL KILLING. He believes that there should be a Charter of Animal Rights and a Charter of Man’s duties towards the animals. Animals have certain fundamental rights. And the very first right of every animal is the right to live.
