After centuries of promotion and social awareness, this important day was achieved.
Every October 4th, World Animal Day is celebrated. date promoted by the World Organization for Animal Protection. The objective of this date is to respect all living species that inhabit our planet and fight against the extinction of those that are in danger.
One way to contribute is by sharing messages that generate awareness and sensitivity to the rest of the internet users to raise their voices instead of animals, who do not have the possibility of expressing themselves to fight against their abuse. In the year 1200, Saint Francis of Assisi was a child but he already proclaimed the idea of caring for both the environment and the rest of the beings that inhabit the planet.

Why World Animal Day is celebrated every October 4
In 1980, Pope John Paul II declared Saint Francis of Assisi, Patron Saint of animals. This action popularized the celebration of this day. The date was also promoted by the World Organization for Animal Protection, and the first day on which this anniversary was celebrated was October 4, 1925 in Berlin, Germany.
Since then, without annual regularity, different campaigns have been carried out to raise awareness about the environmental damage caused by human action and the fatal consequences for some species, but it was not until after 1980, when it was established that every October 4th would be the World Animal Day.
