Calf 269
Calf 269 is a male calf (still alive today) who was rescued by anonymous 269life activists, days before his planned slaughter. He was born at an Israeli facility in the vicinity of Azor - a town on the outskirts of Tel Aviv. The slaughter was scheduled for June 2013. The calf is described as sweet-tempered and white-headed, and his ear carried a tag numbered 269, which indicated that the calf was destined for slaughter.〔 The Israeli protests regarding the calf were followed by protests in England and other places across the world. The protests aimed at conveying that animal parts eaten as food by humans once belonged to a living individual, who lived a tortured life and faced a brutal death, after which his or her carcass was processed into human food.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.facebook.com/269calf/info )〕 The significance of the event led to the creation of "''269 life''", an animal liberation movement founded on October 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://twitter.com/269_life )〕
==Israeli protests==
On the occasion of World Farm Animals Day, (Gandhi's birthday) 2 October 2012, two Israelis Zohar Gorelik and Sasha Boojor and one Russian activist Oleg Ozerov had the number 269 branded on their skin with a hot iron branding tool. Haaretz reports that this branding was an act of fellowship with Calf 269. The branding incident took place at Tel Aviv's Rabin square. The action is considered an attempt to bring to light the mistreatment of animals in the farming sector. According to Haaretz the treatment of animals would require terminologies applied to the Holocaust in order to adequately describe the situation. According Netta Ahituv writing in the Haaretz, the calf's story has inspired a world wide tattoo movement. At least a thousand individuals have had themselves branded or tattooed with the number 269. In a testimony a tattooed individual who was a tow truck driver narrated that the tattoo reminded one passenger of his grandmother's stories of German concentration camps.〔 The website ''(269life.com )'' was created by Boojor following this protest. The protests were an attempt to end the anonymity of millions of animals butchered for human consumption. The website declares, "This anonymous male calf will be forever immortalized on our bodies, and hopefully this message of solidarity will somehow bring a new way of looking at non-human animals."
