What is World Animal Day and Why is it so Important?
World Animal Day is an annual event celebrated on October 4 to raise awareness of animal rights and welfare around the world. Originating in Berlin, Germany in 1925 when Heinrich Zimmerman, publisher of animal lovers' magazine ‘Man and Dog’ launched the event to raise awareness and improve the welfare of animals. The date of October 4 is also known as the feast day of Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron Saint of animals.
Since that time, World Animal Day has also become an arena for ecologists to discuss the problems associated with endangered species. Beginning in 2003, the UK-based charity, Naturewatch Foundation, has sponsored the event and organized ways for animal lovers all over the world to take part and make their voices heard in support of our animal friends. This day is not just for domesticated animals, it’s for wild animals, endangered species, and those threatened by environmental devastation or lack of protection. This day is a reminder not just to love the animals in our homes, but to appreciate and respect all living things that are a part of our ecosystem.
