WORLD ANIMAL DAY
World Animal Day was started in 1931 at a convention of ecologists in Florence as a way of highlighting the plight of endangered species. October 4 was chosen as World Animal Day as it is the Feast Day of St Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals.
Since then, World Animal Day has become a day for remembering and paying tribute to all animals and the people who love and respect them. It's celebrated in different ways in every country, with no regard to nationality, religion, faith or political ideology. (in http://www.worldanimalday.org.uk/)
Animals can be our closest friends. Have you got a pet?
If you have give him/ her/ it a ... HUG!
"We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals!" -Immanual Kant
