Whats the history behind World Animal Day ?

Since 1925, there has been a World Animal Day. Heinrich Zimmermann, a cynologist, organized the inaugural celebration at the Sports Palace in Berlin, which was reportedly attended by more than 5,000 people, according to World Animal Protection. He worked tirelessly to promote this day, and in 1931 his resolution designating October 4 as Animal Day globally was adopted and put into effect.

The UK-based animal protection organization Naturewatch Foundation launched the World Animal Day website in 2003 to broaden the event’s appeal. With this effort, we hoped to engage and mobilize even more individuals for the cause.
