The 4th of October it is World Animal Day.
To raise the status of animals in order to improve welfare standards around the globe. Building the celebration of World Animal Day unites the animal welfare movement, mobilising it into a global force to make the world a better place for all animals. It’s celebrated in different ways in every country, irrespective of nationality, religion, faith or political ideology. Through increased awareness and education we can create a world where animals are always recognised as sentient beings and full regard is always paid to their welfare.

Since a couple of days this ad is on the Dutch tv quite often:
And I kinda agree with the statement they make in the end:
If only it was animal day every day
Cause animals shouldn’t be treated well on only one specific day in the year. They should get love and everything they need every day. But I see the good in the day, mainly in the education part.
What do you guys think of this? Do you think a world animal day is important? Should we all give our pets a little extra on that day?
