World Animal Day
posted on September 29, 2015
World Animal Day is an international day of action for animal rights and welfare celebrated annually on October 4, the Feast Day of St Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals. It started in 1931 at a convention of ecologists in Florence, Italy who wished to highlight the plight of endangered species.
It's celebrated in different ways in every country, irrespective of nationality, religion, faith or political ideology.
The Mission
Lifeforce seeks to raise public awareness of the interrelationship of human, nonhuman animals, and ecological rights. The rights of animals must be improved in order to recognize them as sentient beings and full regard is always paid to their welfare. We must extend our circle of compassion to all life with whom we share this planet. This can be achieved through increased awareness and education through a global force. |
