World Animal Day is an annual event on the 4th of October, aiming tocelebrate animal rights and welfare across the globe. It’s an important day and hasbeen marked since 1925, with a growing international community striving to end the needless suffering of all animals.

By increasing awareness and improving education worldwide, those communities are helping to create a space recognising wild and farmed animals as creatures with thoughts, feelings, and individual personalities.

Businesses and individuals can also give a voice to animals by celebrating World Animal Day in various ways, whether that’s through a fundraising event for charities supporting protection efforts, a goods donation drive or education sessions, there are so many options for everyone to get involved.
