World Animal Day

Today is World Animal Day, which occurs on the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, a man who loved and appreciated all living creatures.
It’s a day for all of us to pay more attention to the other animals who share this planet and to show appreciation for them as he did.

World Animal Day is an annual celebration of all things furry in which people remember the vital role that animals have to play in the world, as well as the people who devote their lives to working to protect and care for them, whether that is wild animals, farm animals, or pets waiting for their forever homes in shelters.

World Animal Day is an ideal time for humans to speak on behalf of animals who cannot speak for themselves, so it is a great day to get involved with various charitable organisations that fight against any form of cruelty or abuse of animals.
Maybe it’s a good time to go and volunteer to help when you can at a local shelter or animal charity: feeding, exercising, or just giving the animals a bit of love and attention.
And every day is a good day to make sure we don’t use products tested on animals.

So, today, let’s celebrate animals of all kinds, and those who fight for them, in whatever way you wish, with pictures, memes, gifs, videos or music.
