Animals don’t get Labor Day off

Labor Day often brings to mind long weekends, barbecues, and the close of summer. But it’s also an opportunity to make compassionate choices. Each day, over 23 million land animals and 150 million sea animals are killed in the U.S. for food. The worldwide numbers are even more staggering. Choosing to eat animals, and their byproducts, harms our health and contributes to the climate crisis.

This Labor Day, why not opt for a cruelty-free celebration? Our daily dietary choices save the lives of thousands of animals each year. Plant-based burgers, sausages, and hot dogs are widely available, and most sides are already vegan. Top off your meal with delicious dairy-free desserts.

Let’s celebrate a kinder, healthier holiday for all this year.
