World Animal Day

World Animal Day raises awareness for the status of animals, aiming to improve their welfare standards. Originally, in 1931, this day highlighted the plight of endangered species. Today, it has evolved to represent and honour all species of animal across the world. World Animal Day calls on the community to get involved by educating others on animal cruelty, writing letters to local authorities and governments, donating to charities and shelters, volunteering in related organisations and eating a meat free and plant-based diet.
