World Animal Day
International Day, aimed at drawing humanity's attention to animal rights and their welfare, which is celebrated annually on October 4.
The history of this day begins with an international congress of supporters of the movement for the protection of animal rights, which took place in Florence (Italy) in 1931. The date of the World Animal Day was not chosen by chance. October 4 is the day of the memory of Francis of Assisi, who is considered to be the patron saint of animals, so the congress participants stopped exactly on this day.
On this day, various animal rights societies hold rallies in more than 66 countries around the world. They urge people to abandon the ill-considered destruction of animals for the sake of satisfying their far from the most basic needs.
In addition, World Animal Day is an occasion to remind people of their responsibility for pets, which for many have become truly indispensable family members.
