World Animal Day

World Animal Day, celebrated annually on October 4th.

It aims to raise awareness about animal welfare and promote the protection of all animals, from pets to wildlife.

Established in 1931 at a convention of ecologists in Florence, Italy, it coincides with the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and the environment.

The day encourages actions like adopting pets, supporting conservation efforts, and advocating for humane treatment of animals in farming, research, and entertainment.
