World Animal Day is celebrated on October 4th
World Animal Day is celebrated on October 4th . This date was established in 1931 during an animal protection conference in Florence, Italy, with the aim of promoting the welfare and protection of animals worldwide. The choice of October 4th coincides with the feast of Saint Francis of Assisi, known as the patron saint of animals and nature. It is an opportunity to raise awareness about issues such as the protection of animal rights, the conservation of species and the importance of respecting and caring for living beings. Activities such as adoption campaigns, animal fairs, lectures and educational events are often held on this day to promote love and responsibility towards animals.
