*October 4th is World Animal Day. This day is for all animals, from pets like cats and dogs to the hungry ones that we see on the streets searching for something to eat.
The ones whose living environment we have ruined with our selfish and irresponsible actions. The ones that we have tortured and caged in circuses, zoos, water parks, laboratories, meat markets, and poultry farms, and the ones that have been taken from their natural habitat. This day belongs to the animals that lose their lives daily in the wildfires, severe weather, floods, and polluted waters worldwide. Animal environments are becoming less and less livable due to changes caused by us.
October 4th is the day for all these animals.
Albert Schweitzer, a German doctor, philosopher, and the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, once said:
“Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things, man will not himself find peace.”
