subject: World Animal Day [print this page] A specific opportunity for a person who loves animals to acknowledge the diverse roles that they play in our lives.
As World Animal Day 2010 draws ever closer, the world's animal animal lovers are invited to celebrate the care and respect of our animal friends.
World Animal Day isn't a recent addition to the time table, it was started in 1931 at a convention of ecologists in Florence as a mode of highlighting the plight of endangered species. Since then it has grown to encompass all types of animal life and is widely celebrated in countries all through the world. October 4 was chosen as it's the Feast Day of St Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals. It is intended as a day of festivity for everyone in the world who cares about animals and is not reduced to any one nationality, creed, religion, political belief or ideology.
To acknowledge the diverse roles that animals play in our lives from being our companions, helping and aiding us, to bringing a feeling of wonder into our lives
World Animal Day is a wonderful opportunity for animal lovers all around the world to come together in solidarity through one notably important cause. To save and safeguard the animals on our planet and the delicate background they live in. Without animals in the world it would be a extremely sad place. We must learn to safeguard and nurture them and keep in mind that the world will constantly be a place where they can roam free and never become extinct.
