Today, we observe World Animal Day, a special international celebration dedicated in raising the status of animals and spotlighting animal welfare issues.

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.
