World Animal Day is an international day of action for animal rights and welfare. It is celebrated annually on October 4, the feast day of Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals. The Mission of World Animal Day is to end animal cruelty by raising the status of animals in order to advance welfare standards around the globe.
Here are a few campaigns that happened as part of World Animal Day. (Roll over to know the animal in the picture!)
The celebration of World Animal Day unites the animal welfare movement, mobilising it into a global force to make the world a better place for all animals. It’s celebrated in different ways in every country, irrespective of nationality, religion, faith or political ideology. Through increased awareness and education we can create a world where animals are always recognised as sentient beings and full regard is always paid to their welfare.
