Celebrate World Animal Day

This month we celebrate World Animal Day!

The mission of World Animal Day is to raise the status of animals in order to improve welfare standards around the world. It helps to mobilise animal welfare movements into a global force to make the world a better place for animals.

The aim is, through increased awareness and education, to have animals always recognised as sentient beings who deserve full regard given to their welfare. Recognised on the 4th of October, World Animal Day shares its spot with the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi, the Patron saint of animals.

We think it should be World Animal Day every day, so we will be celebrating in our own way throughout the month of October. To join in on the fun, we encourage you to share pictures of you and your pets with us on our Facebook page!
