World Animal Day

Do Something Special Today for the Animals in your Life

World Animal Day - a special opportunity for anyone who loves animals

World Animal Day is celebrated each year on 4 October. On this day, animal life in all its forms is celebrated, and special events are planned on locations all over the globe. This date was originally chosen for World Animal Day because it is the feast day of Francis of Assisi, a nature lover and patron saint of animals and the environment.
