How To Celebrate World Animal Day

As human beings, we are neighbors, roommates, and friends to all the animals of the world, and it’s our responsibility to help protect them so that their future generations can grow and thrive. In turn, our future generations can be blessed with the joy of their company. The World Animal Day is created as a special day to appreciate and pay tribute to the incredible animals we share this planet with. This day is not linked to any person or organization! It belongs to all people of the world. It’s a day for education and the raising of awareness for all of the animal issues that exist throughout the world.

For everyone who cares about animals, October 4th is a time to celebrate and pay tribute. Acknowledge and be thankful for the many positive influences animals brings to our lives. They help us keep a natural balance, they are our life companions and they help us in both work and play.

Join the celebration of World Animal Day because through increased awareness and education we can improve the standards of animal welfare throughout the world!

 The mission of World Animal Day is to…

1. Celebrate animal life in all its forms.
2. Celebrate humankind’s relationship with the animal kingdom.
3. Acknowledge the diverse roles that animals play in our lives.
4. Acknowledge and be thankful for the way in which animals enrich our lives.

How to celebrate World Animal Day

You don’t have to be an activist to celebrate the world’s birds, bees, and other creatures during World Animal Day. Anyone can make a difference – simply do something kind for animals! Here’s a few ideas for you:

• Donate (whatever you can afford) to some of the nonprofit organizations for animals – E.g World Wildlife Fund.
• Volunteer your time at a local shelter or animal sanctuary.
• Educate yourself. Read up on animal issues and how to help.
