MISSION OF WORLD ANIMAL DAY
To raise the status of animals in order to improve welfare standards around the globe. Building the celebration of World Animal Day unites the animal welfare movement, mobilizing 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 recognized as sentient beings and full regard is always paid to their welfare.
These 24 hours are the chance to give back and celebrate animal life in all its shapes and sizes, from mice to elephants, and recognize the positive influence they have on our lives.
This special day was established in 1931 by ecologists in Florence in Italy and has now spread around the world, celebrating not just endangered and rare species, but all kinds of animal life.
And the date 4 October is no coincidence – it is the same day as the Feast Day of St Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals.
